South Africa captain Ronwen Williams has expressed disappointment at what he described as a lack of support from fellow African nations following Bafana Bafana’s 2-0 defeat to co-hosts Mexico in their opening 2026 FIFA World Cup match on Thursday night, Saturday PUNCH reports.

The result leaves South Africa with work to do in Group A as they pursue a place in the knockout rounds.

Speaking after the match, Williams admitted he was surprised by the volume of African football fans who appeared to back Mexico rather than an African representative on the global stage, and called for greater unity among Africans during major tournaments.

“Africans have always supported other African countries in every World Cup tournament, but I can’t figure out why our own case is different,” Williams said. “Many Africans supported Mexico, not us, the South Africans. We almost shed tears, but it’s truly sad.”

"As Africans, let’s stand for each other, let’s stand together.”

While some supporters sympathised with the goalkeeper’s sentiments and agreed that African nations should rally behind one another at international competitions, others offered a contrasting view.

A number of social media users from countries including Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya and Zimbabwe argued that recurring reports of xenophobic attacks on African migrants in South Africa have weakened the sense of continental solidarity, with several referencing past incidents involving foreign nationals living in the country as having shaped how other Africans view South Africa.

Some openly stated that they had supported Mexico in the match, citing those tensions as a factor in their decision.

Unity kill u there idiot!! This is just the beginning

It's so baffling how nobody sees nothing wrong with a man leaving his house dirty. He must have kept the environment dirty in expectation that his girlfriend is coming to clean it up. Total pig! If anybody dodged a bullet, it's the lady. Women! Add value to yourselves so men won't see you as maids to clean up their mess.



So it's only women that are required to clean up their surroundings when they wake up? Men are expected to stink up the whole place till a woman comes in to clean it up? It's very easy to spot a male disguising as female, and some imbe men go don slide into his DM to get to "know him better"

Isi odo !!
He buys food for her. Gives her money and he is also expected to clean the house before going to work, while she continues sleeping like a lazy pig. Men are really in trouble with ladies like this everywhere

You can also hype your candidate sir ....


Na free world

Hype about his drug business in Chicago ?

ChristCee:
Call your guy and his babe or better still, pay them a visit. Explain your feelings, why you did it, your motive and pure intentions behind it and how, now, you regret it.

If your write-up is true and it is exactly what happened, then you are just a good guy trying to appreciate the goodness showed to you. However, your good intentions could have been misconstrued. Doing a nice thing doesn't always make that thing right. However what is wrong or right can sometimes be totally subjective. Because the guy gave you her azza directly also show that he doesn't really read meanings to it, so you could be punishing yourself unnecesarily.

As you can see, talking it out is what will really solve this problem. I have this hunch that the lady is probably falling for you or developing a special affection for you. Over time, this could be the real problem. In fact, it could be that her guy was testing her by sending her account details directly to you, hoping she will inform him of whatever you do or not. By discussing with her and her babe (your guy), you will show her, that you value your friendship with her man and have nothing crazy in your heart about her.

except you are interested too.

Best advice. I appreciate your maturity and honesty

the day we sack Apc from all the elective positions in Nigeria . It’s now known that your principal is clueless

It will take a violent revolution to undo the damage muhammadu buhari did to this country. You had a terrorist for 8 years as your president and you think there will be no consequences ? Buhari is no different from all these hamas leaders israel has been killing for past two years. Islamic terrorist have almost taken over all Nigeria security agencies

Gbam !! Iran is the major sponsor of terrorism in nigeria

Seeplusplus:
At times I wonder if the owner of Arise TV enjoys the nonsense this Rufai guy does.

Somehow, I no longer watch them live cos he's so unprofessional, in fact the entire Arise TV are so unprofessional.

I'm happy people are calling Rufai out

He really needs to be professional or go and rear animals.

To him, just like with many Peter Obi supporters, they are the only patriotic Nigerians. The rest of us that have seen through him are not patriotic.

If he thinks people at the helm of affairs are not doing well he should come and contest

No be by Cho Cho cho

70% of readers here on nairaland thinks you are a clown for suggesting that rufai oseni should be sacked. Get lost!!!

Useless son of a useless father

Two terrorists. Now that the case of iran os coming to an end, hope israel and united states will focus on Nigeria. Nigeria is the next iran in making

Rubbish and lies. She can't test positive now, even if the guy actually infected her.

Rest in peace aunty. Love you so much

Arrowhead71:
America is not going to fight Iran.... America is inn to remove Ayatollah Ali
Iran people are great and wonderful people...so Israel and America does not want death of ordinary citizens of Iran .... reason Isreal dont lunch missiles into Iran anyhow

Yes. Everyone knows the persians are under captive by terrorist regime in iran. Israel and us knows that ayatolla is the real problem. Just like nigeria under the captives of terrorists masquerading as leaders.

“This guy who sits there in arrogance and pride and judges the whole world, he should also know that usually the tyrants and arrogant people of the world, such as the Pharaoh, Nimrod, Reza Khan, Mohammad Reza, and the like, were overthrown when they were at the height of their pride, this one too will be overthrown,” said the post from Khamenei’s account.

This is very deep. Words from a true Sage.

This picture will go round and far within the US and beyond.

Interestingly, this is exactly how the leaders of other nations see Trump and US. Many of them, especially US allies, are actually scared to tell him. They are currently undermining him but covertly

Iran is lucky to have this Sage. He just invoked a powerful spiritual declaration against Trump and it shall eventually come to pass.

Unlike other leaders of this age, history and generations yet to be born will credit the Iranians Sage as the only courageous leader of his time who declared the end of the US era. And it eventually came to pass.

If it was in the past, US would have rallied its allies to attack Iran like it did with Sadam Hussein, Muamar Ghadaffi etc but this time, even the US military adviced him not to attack Iran because it will boomerang and Iran will retaliate. That US military can be concerned about retaliation is a sign that in reality balance of power has shifted.

Just imagine if Iran had no power of deterrent with its huge land mass, population and highly trained fiercely patriotic leaders and citizens, they would have been turned into another Gaza genocide case today while the world moves on. Smh

Yet another pile of dog shit from a terrorist sympathizer. If e sure for you, go to iran today and tell the protesters that ali khamenei is a sage. Lets see if you will come back in one piece.
Islam has already lost iran. The Persians have woken up and they will re establish there great relationship with the jews of israel.
If you don't like this, get a rope and do the needful. We will not miss you here

Thewrath:
I thought Russia,china are coming to save him!

If he has two heads and doesn’t fear America,let him use violent force against protesters make he see!

Trump is watching closely. If the supreme lesder lifts a finger, trump will send him to God.

This is exactly what will play out when nigerians votes out tinubu. He will try to rig election again. Nigerians will occupy the streets. Then trump will be waiting ernestly to pick him up, if he uses the millitary against nigerians, of which thats exactly what he will do

Solsix:
Obj and yaradua and to a lesser extent Jonathan are the only national president we have elected. Buhari and tinubu are ethnic leaders.

Evil men
