@AtholT Fuck me, two things, we played Mexico and learn to spell BraZil. Sit down

The very poor performance by Bafana Bafana against Brasil has been attributed to poor preparation and poor strategy. That may be part of the reason but don’t forget the role of SAFA and its abjectly KAK leadership and administration!!! It’s time for a total revamp of the hapless SAFA!

@SABCNews Compare this genius of science, technology and innovation to elon musk. We are fucked

WATCH | As South Africa marks 30 years since the adoption and signing of the Constitution into law, Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation Dr Blade Nzimande says that despite ongoing challenges, the country’s Constitution is respected around the world.

@penuelist_ No need to scrap homework, they don’t do it any case

Things I wish I could change in Schools: Make school uniform functional & scrap white shirts & formal shoes Replace field hockey with football, for both boys & girls Replace netball with basketball, as it has greater international opportunities Make sports days compulsory attendance for parents Make sports compulsory for all students Make every school have its own supermarket, run by students Make every school have vegetable & fruit gardens, managed by students Every school to have a workshop for woodwork, electrical work, cars & other Scrap homework completely Every schoolday must be from 9am until 5pm No child can attend a school that's further than 10kms from home Kids to prep lunch for all students

@lekoloanemanam2 Shoot for the stars

The EFF is going to get over 15% in this years LGEs.

@Markosonke1 I enjoy your posts, but I can’t believe that you would be fooled by this. Were you also excited about the promised school and university?

👏🏽 Guys: Credit Where it's Due📍 Shout out to the EFF Youth Command for launching free Grade 12 Mathematics study guides and online classes for learners across South Africa. Whether you support the EFF or not, this is the kind of competition South African politics needs competing over who can educate more children, not who can insult each other the loudest and steal the most😩 After more than three decades of democracy, it's surprising that this kind of nationwide academic initiative wasn't pioneered much earlier. Too often, politics led by @MYANC has been dominated by scandals, corruption headlines and endless promises, while education has remained one of the country's biggest challenges. If politicians want votes, let them compete in classrooms not just at shouting in parliament 👏🏽📚

@tarathinks Show proof

A few days ago, I tweeted that I think the DA will lose its majority in the City of Cape Town. That opinion has resulted in me receiving thousands of DMs containing rape and death threats from DA members/supporters. You are welcome to disagree with my opinion. If I am wrong, I am wrong. But threatening me with sexual violence because you disagree with my view is disgusting. In addition, I have been threatened with having my job as a journalist made “difficult”. I have been told I will not be given comment when I ask for it and that my editors will be contacted and pressured to remove me from stories. This is a tactic many of my colleagues warned me about. I have told me to avoid talking about the DA altogether because of threats like these. Twitter is not journalism. My journalistic integrity is measured by the articles I write, not by the opinions I share on social media. A tweet is not a news article. I did not publish a piece of reporting; I expressed an opinion. In a country where GBV claims the lives of hundreds of women yearly and has been declared a national crisis, it is completely unacceptable that I am receiving rape threats for expressing a political opinion. This is not simply another aspect of my job. While threats and attacks against journalists are sadly common, nobody would be threatening me with rape if I were a man. I will not be silenced because I expressed a view. In 2023, I publicly stated that I believed the ANC would lose its majority in 2024. Many people disagreed with me, but I did not receive a single rape threat from ANC members or supporters. I do not speak about the DA more than any other political party. Analysing political parties is literally my job as a political analyst. What disgusts me is that in a country with constitutional protections for freedom of expression, a young woman can be threatened with rape and violence simply for making a political prediction. Disagree with me if you want. Argue with me. Tell me I am wrong. But do not threaten my safety because you dislike my opinion.

@Vxebo_ Apologise to South Africa? You are busy killing foreigners!

🩸Blood is supposed to be thicker than water, but today Africa feels divided😭 The resentment toward South Africa🇿🇦 is forced, punishing and hating a sister nation just for demanding accountability over illegal migration issues😔 How can we preach Ubuntu but cheer for Mexico 🇲🇽 while our own neighbor stands alone? If they offended us, let love and forgiveness win. Will Mexicans support us like this? Tonight, let’s use this game to mend broken pieces, choose peace, apologize to South Africa and heal the continent. Mama Africa is behind you, South Africa. Bring the world Cup home. 🕊️✨🇿🇦 #FIFAWorldCup #WorldCup2026

@daddyhope Not sure why he wants to come here. SA is a mafia state

Zimbabwe is a very difficult place to live if you are just an ordinary citizen trying to get on with your life. Yesterday, a young man got in touch with me seeking financial assistance to travel to Zimbabwe because he had lost his father. I helped him, and his bus left Johannesburg at 5 p.m. It travelled all the way to Zimbabwe and got to the border in the morning, where it was cleared. It then continued its journey into Zimbabwe. When the bus got to Bubi, ZIMRA officials, who are Zimbabwe’s customs officials, sent it all the way back to the border for another search. As I write this, that bus is back at the border. This young man left Johannesburg yesterday at 5 p.m., and it is now past 6 p.m. the following day. He had already done more than half of his journey from Johannesburg, only to be forced back. I honestly do not understand why our government makes life so painful and difficult for ordinary people. It is cruel, painful, and heartbreaking. This is one of the reasons many young Zimbabweans do not want to return home when they complete their studies. If you are not part of the political elite circle, life can be incredibly difficult. Even those who are trying to live by the book and simply live normal lives are subjected to unnecessary hardship. It is heartbreaking. It is sad. The once respected Zimbabwe has become a mafia state.

@MbalulaFikile Typical, setting the bar low. Just being there is good enough?

We are never critical to wound, but to light a fire and South African sport banter, is just that. Today our boys stand on the WORLD CUP stage proud behind our flag, that of the Greatest Country in the world 🇿🇦 One result does not define this journey. The fact that Bafana Bafana is HERE is the victory most doubted and most the haters we’ve seen are doing so outside the club because they couldn’t get in. We stand as a country solid behind our boys - and won’t bury them for a single match when they’ve already defied every doubt. Rise, South Africa. Our boys are not done. 💚🟡

@TebogoDitshego @BafanaBafana Don’t blame the coach when a player can’t control the ball in front of his goal or when 2 players are sent off

@BafanaBafana I'm not disappointed by our players, they implemented a game plan that was never going to work. The coach robbed the boys of a rare opportunity to showcase their talents on the global stage. It's one thing to lose, it's another to not even try to win.

It ends in defeat at Estadio Azteca, not the start we wanted. On to the next one #BafanaPride #FIFA

@GaytonMcK Did you watch the game? This team isn’t going anywhere except back to this shithole country

You lost like the Champs that you are today, you didn’t humiliate us, you gave undeserved respect to the Mexicans on the field. We have a team here that can go very far, let’s not give up on this team South Africa. Let us stand behind our Boyz.

@eNCA Bafana doesn’t belong with the big boys, not sure why people are upset, did anyone actually think we were going to beat Mexico in Mexico?

[VIEWER QUESTION] What do you make of Bafana Bafana's first World Cup game? Share your thoughts. Tune in to #eNCA, channel #DStv403

@MbalulaFikile Bafana is an embarrassment, played like school boys

Good luck to the boys tonight as they fly the South African flag high. Once again South Africa takes centre stage as the entire globe pauses to witness humanities greatest game. The entire country is behind you. Yiyo yiyo🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦 #BafanaPride

@JoyChauke5 Question, are you coming home when the team comes home? I don’t think I can stand your posts for another month where you celebrate being on tv

Mamajoy only Superfan shown on Tv during Bafana Bafana and Mexico fifa Worldcup 2026 ,they needed Superfans not Lucky fans ,,, lol Mamoola Mamajoy is international,, yes or no ,, Jeolous down 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽

@MzwaneleManyi People really have nothing to do with their time
