Bobloco: 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.
LordLicifer: Stop hating the actress you don't know her personally why are you mentioning her acting skills she is just doing her job acting. It doesn't make her a bad person like you claimed. She never did anything wrong to you, the police have not charged her for any crime stop hating someone you have never met you don't her.
LordLicifer: You don't know the whole story, you were not there you don't know what happened. Stop hating the actress you have never met her personally, she didn't do anything bad to you
So nigeria police didnt know what happen too
How Nigerians defend injustice: 1. You did not know the whole story
AbosedeFalade: From my perspective this lady sounded like under normal circumstances, being a Sales Representative is below her standard as a graduate. That's a poor way to reason. Besides, given that she worked for only 16 days, the said actress doesn't owe her if the original understanding they had was that she would be paid monthly rather than hourly or daily, her injury claim notwithstanding.
Anyway, I pray the actress would just extend a helping hand to her for God's sake only.
So all that job description sounds like that of a sales rep. May we not get used to slavery mentality
[quote author=EmmyMaestro post=139697153]“Pay my salary” – Lady cries out, exposes alleged experience working for popular Nollywood actress
A Nigerian lady has taken to social media to call out Nollywood actress Funmi Awelewa, alleging that she refused to pay her salary after she worked for her as a sales representative.
In a viral video circulating online, she claimed that she accepted the job despite being a graduate due to the country’s economic hardship and limited employment opportunities.
“I’m just here to tell you guys to help me beg Funmi Awelewa to pay my salary. I’m a graduate, but there is no job in the country. I even have a little business I do for myself, but it is not moving, so I accepted to be a sales rep,” she said.
According to her, she was often sent on errands that did not align with her job description, including massaging the actress, shopping, and inspecting properties, while also handling personal tasks for her.
The lady further alleged that she sustained an injury while working at the actress store and later requested part of her salary to seek medical treatment.
“I’ve been working with you for like 16 days now. I’m not telling you to give me money. Give me half of my salary and let me go and treat myself. But she replied that she is not ready to pay me a dime and blocked me,” she alleged.
She also claimed to have reported the matter to the police, adding that the actress allegedly declined an invitation to appear.
As of the time of filing this report, Funmi Awelewa has not publicly responded to the allegations.

RevenuesBoost: Why Do Some People Think Farming Is For Poor People? —Yam-Sack Farming
I got married to an agriculturist that always want to experiment everything he studied in school.
Yes, where I come from, people see farming as suffering but my husband sees it as fun.
I'm like, you are using the farming thing to joke because you didn't come from a home that their children go to farm daily, by now, e for don tire you.
He will just laugh about it and reply, “It’s always worth it.” And honestly, doing this with him is fun.
What some people see as suffering, others see as opportunity. What some people call dirty work, others call food, business, peace, and investment.
Now this Yam-Sack Farming we’re doing has become another reminder that farming is not just about hardship. It can also be creative, productive, and even exciting when done with passion and knowledge. At the end of the day, farming feeds everybody, rich or poor.
I was driving yesterday and my car just stopped without any sign. Started the car and it stops. Continued like 5 times with situation and same result.
Called a car electrician. He checked the fuel pump, and confirmed okay. Changed spark plugs and coils and was just firing it not to stop. We managed to move it to a safe place. This morning the situation continues
We have checked for intake leaks, alternator issues or earthing problem but none was seen.
What is pending now is changing fuel filter, pump and injectors.
I don't know if any of these could Solve the problem. Only check light is coils p0351 to P0354. All coils changed but situation remain the same
