I know a lot of people here hate sports ball, but for a troubled country such as South Africa, it is a great unifier.
Congratulations Springboks! 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
And hopefully the Proteas will manage to not be chokers this time around, and copy the success in the cricket world cup.
Just a bit of history sorry.
I'm sorry, that wasn't a very mature response from me.
It's just that if you weren't in South Africa in 1995 you'll never understand what that meant to the country at that time. For a few months we had a united country, all the (probably manufactured) racial tension was forgotten in a wonderful way.
I can fully understand you feeling that way and it's cruel how sports is being used as a distraction - "Bread and Circuses" a term coined by Nero before he burnt Rome. Take care fren cause it's going to get much worse.
