I was at Scarra Ntubeni's 100th game for the DHL Stormers in Cape Town last Saturday. Well deserved.

Neo Nazis are scum, but aren't these same people on Twitter with no problem?

Certain White South Africans' inability to understand the world beyond everything the ANC does is evil and corrupt leads them to cheerleading genocide in Gaza and celebrating insane propaganda as some sort of triumphant rebuke to what looks like a strong ICJ case

Palestinians: We can’t continue to live under Apartheid

US: Equal civil rights is an antisemite’s agenda

This offers a window into the struggle of Africa's football. For a while, SA had a decent domestic league.

A must watch, painful as it is to hear (while the Israeli ambassador fiddles with his papers and then reads his phone like a shamed teenager). Israel must be held to account; this impunity cannot go on - otherwise we might as well give up on international law. #Gaza_Genocide

Moroka Swallows, the Soweto football club once part of South Africa's historical big three (the others were Chiefs, Pirates), can't play its league games because it is unable to pay its players. The recent history of the club has been disastrous.

Smh. In 1998, when he was UK Prime Minister, Tony Blair tried to have Wimbledon moved to Northern Ireland and become 'Belfast United.' Northern Ireland was created as a British colony on the island of Ireland. thetimes.co.uk/article/tony-b…
