LP's logo is basically meant to evoke the old Nigeria Labour congress logo (the party originally started as a project of the union, and the logo borrows the wheel element from the union's old logo)

APGA started as a party meant to evoke a connection to the Zikist movement of Azikiwe, one of our independence leaders, whose party was the first national party in Nigeria, and had a cockerel as part of its symbol. The colors of the old party are also incorporated into the party's logo

PDP is a very simple umbrella...which harks back to the fact that it was formed as an umbrella movement to unite politicans of all stripes (nowadays, it's basically collapsed into two factions)

APC...the broom, (indicating they were there to sweep out corrpution, which they have failed in ) and the colors of its precusor parties (the ANPP, ACN and elements of APGA, alongside some other small parties).

And besides, a party can have crap logo, but if it does what it is supposed to do...better. South Africa, Nigeria, and most African countries are not major industriap producers and major agric producers. That's my concern more than party logo.

I get the symbolism, it's just the old skooled designs I have a problem with. It's like textbook illustrations from when I was in primary school.

Anyway, you spoke of ANC logo earlier, here's the evolution - shows logos need to update with the times while not losing their identity.

Salif Keita's open letter to South Africa
https://x.com/MDNnewss/status/2092223045741998241?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2092223045741998241%7Ctwgr%5E724c4657a5a99028cf5da3bbe3f159a47cc8b6a9%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fbriefly.co.za%2Fentertainment%2Fcelebrities%2F251055-salif-keita-cancels-south-africa-concerts-violence-african-migrants%2F

Legendary Malian musician Salif Keita has cancelled his upcoming concert dates in South Africa amid rising xenophobic violence against African migrants, expressing deep moral concerns in an open letter to South Africans.

Keita emphasised that this decision is a response to the violence faced by his fellow Africans, rather than a rejection of the South African people. "I close the door on hate, but my heart remains open to the vision of an Africa where every human being can live without fear."

Salif Keita's stance on xenophobia Keita acknowledged the genuine economic frustrations many South Africans face, but argued that those hardships must never be turned into a weapon against fellow Africans. He also reminded readers that colonial borders are artificial lines that should never be allowed to override a shared humanity.

Widely celebrated as the "Golden Voice of Africa," Keita has dedicated more than five decades of his career to championing African identity, unity, and human rights through music. His bond with South Africa stretches back to 1988, when he performed at the legendary Nelson Mandela 70th Birthday Tribute concert at Wembley Stadium, a watershed moment in the global fight against apartheid.

Despite the cancellations, Keita has not entirely closed the chapter on South Africa. He expressed a willingness to perform in non-commercial settings, including local townships, or any space where music can nurture dialogue, healing, and the spirit of ubuntu. His hope is to return to the country once solidarity and peace take root again.

The Africa hitmaker was scheduled to perform at the iconic Macufe festival on 12 September 2026 at the Loch Logan Waterfront in Bloemfontein. His message and decision to boycott major South African shows arrive amid growing unrest and tensions stemming from anti-illegal immigration demonstrations across the country.

This follows his emergency medical withdrawal from the inaugural African edition of the Montreux Jazz Festival held in Franschhoek (in Cape Town) earlier in March.

Keita's decision places him among a growing number of continental leaders and cultural voices raising alarms about xenophobia and sends a pointed message about the cost of anti-migrant violence to South Africa's standing within the broader pan-African community.

JaceBlaze:
Bullshit aside neh! ANC has the best logo out of all of them.

To think it's the oldest liberation movement in Africa but the most modern. Even their drip is 👌🏾

Compare with self-proclaimed giant of Africa and their clown suits 🤡🤡🤡

Samantha125:
Wena RandDigital, why are you exposing this lovely brother of mine's flaws to nairalanders?🤣🤣🤣

Now my province's name has officially gone through the mud... Each time they hear Limpopo, they'd think of him...😭😭😭

Askies xem, it's all over my timeline. Mara rea leboha Limpopo😂

ruzell86:
Go and sit down, abeg.

I see two SA party logos holding spears... are they going to war? Must everything about SA be violent?
.

Born from the struggle for freedom.

You don't know SA history but you'll be the first to shout "we freed you".

Stupidity is overabundant in Nigeria.

Mariangeles:
Do you have it in your region?
I only get to see them whenever I travel.

What is it called in your language?

Mods, really? 😴💤💤💤

xeju:
South africans weren't running away for economic reasons but for apartheid. Those are different things. And the sanctions against South Africa was against apartheid and didn't stop the white guys from continuing to building South Africa. Now that the blacks are in charge, the place is a mess & they're driving fellow blacks from other countries away claiming unemployment & insecurity. Do you guys even think before making arguments.

Tell Chidimma and 500,000+ Nigerians in SA who didn't wanna be repatriated that the country is a mess. OK...

helinues:
What exactly is the problem you have, must every discussion be about tom dick measuring with South Africa

Aren't you people even have important issue to discuss about that you always sleep on Nigeria news

I'm just shocked that a scribbled hand had to go through INEC or whoever for verification.

Don't you care how much designer bagged for that ancient design? No wonder they can't deliver modern infrastructure when they can't even deliver modern logo.

After you came back incognito from XVideos you gon talk mouth. Abi, shift o 🇳🇬💩💩💩

Iran, 2026 country of the year 🇮🇷🏆🏆🏆

Sanctions against apartheid South Africa resulted in self-reliance and end of japa syndrome. South Africans became inward looking. Nigerians criticize this parochial world view but that's what you get from sanctions.

Osiris12:
how much we go fit auction am then?

I'm not endorsing any party, that's why initial message was targeted to Nigerian graphics artists.
All these are whack and from the 1990s. Maybe that umbrella one is better but still dated.

Osiris12:
were people paid millions of rands to design that kids homework depiction of an elephant and rainbows color

Those elephants are a Mona Lisa compared to that scribbled hand sketch by 1st graders.

Osiris12:
how e take different from the one wey you post. Especially the one wey animals dey?

Were people paid hundreds of millions of naira to design that kid's homework depiction of a hand?

Nigerian graphics designers need to up their game,wtf is that?

See some South African party logos.

International dancer Matome Robert Mahlatse Thoka, known as Limpopo Boy, is taking his global ambitions forward despite swirling social media speculation about his tour.

Limpopo Boy has confirmed that his World Tour 10 is still going ahead despite rumours that he lost sponsorship after a massive sex scandal that’s still trending on social media. This comes after claims online that his international performances had been cancelled following the circulation of a private video.

The expli.cit video, featuring a married woman, sparked a nationwide social media reaction, with the woman and her husband posting various responses online. This prompted Limpopo Boy to apologise to his stakeholders and fans.

In his apology statement, he said, “I only discovered after the video was leaked that she was married. I should have independently verified her marital status before sharing a private moment with her.

“For that, I am truly sorry. I profoundly apologise for my omission.

“I want to apologise in particular to the Shai family for the tremendous pain I have put them through. That’s not how I was raised. I’m not a home wrecker.”

The Botlokwa-born dancer and entertainer has found himself at the centre of intense social media attention in recent days after a private video allegedly involving him was leaked online. As the video circulated, unverified claims suggested that the controversy had forced the cancellation of his upcoming international shows.

However, the latest information indicates that the tour remains firmly on track, with the dancer and choreographer expected to perform internationally later this year. Reports circulating online confirm performances in Switzerland in October, followed by appearances in Russia in December.

Limpopo Boy has built a name for himself through dance and performance, gradually turning his talent into opportunities beyond South Africa. He used popular platforms like Instagram and TikTok to grow his following, while coaching and bringing South African dance moves to the international community

The World Tour 10 is about taking his performance to audiences outside the country. While details around every stop have not been publicly confirmed, the Switzerland and Russia dates are being highlighted as key stops on the upcoming international schedule.

The Russia leg is reportedly scheduled for 18 to 20 December, adding another major destination to his growing international footprint.

Let it be known we are testing you. Close your embassy. We will still be here after you are done.

We don't make idle threats in SA, even your puppet master Israel knows this.

You'll be wise from desisting from provoking us further. US won't come to your defense like they did with Isra-hell.

seppuku:
While you are at it close down your embassy so no Nigerian comes to your country anymore. Your Middle eastern and Asian friends can take up our spot.
.

We'll first close the Nigerian high commission in SA, don't test us - we did it to Isra-hell and will definitely not hesitate doing it to it's proxies in Africa like Ghana and Nigeria who have been at the forefront of spreading misinformation about SA.

DeepSight:
Irongalaxy, Randigital, MistressZA, note, MTN operates in 16 countries. Only one country accounts for one third of it's income. It could be no where else but Naija.

Thanks, we've built SA to first-world standards with all that money. But more thanks to the other countries we generate 70% from. They're the MAJORITY stakeholders ♥️🏆🏆🏆

We'll soon diversify away from Nigeria, it's a national security threat.

MTN needs to immediately diversify away from Nigeria and Ghana, Israeli misinformation puppets, as a matter of national security.

These two countries are obviously now adversaries.

Our BRICS+ partners in Middle East and South Asia are rich and populous, respectively - as well as other friendly populous African nations.

This should be top of the agenda for SA going to BRICS Summit in India next month.

Duplex90:
I totally lost it when they started clamouring for this ugly Buffon to be given that crown over our best and beautiful miss kwara

Daylight robbery! Miss Kwara won the public vote as a ground breaker.

Ishilove:
Hilarious thread 😂😂😂😂

morpheus24:
And your embassy is still racking in millions of rand in visa fees and allowing these Nigerian to come spend money in your country on holiday.

You think your people are smart neh!

There's a difference between Nigerian tourists and criminals. We welcome tourists, students, academics, etc but don't overstay your welcome and become an illegal.

Then there's the majority of Nigerians we meet in the CBD who are uncultured and criminally minded.

You know this very well, I wonder why you're pretending. But you all do, like with what Chidimma's parents did. Hinding your heads in the sand.

morpheus24:
So the hate you have has nothing to do with us being illegal or circumventing immigration laws. Its the fact that we have loud mouths.

I get why Jacinta hates Nigerians so much now. What a reveal!

It's that you're illegal, criminal and still have loud mouth and have no respect for SA or any of your host countries.

India is finding that out right now in 4K.

morpheus24:
Are you a child or are just easily gaslighted by semi illiterate men.

There are 60 million of you against less than 1 million Nigerians, how fast and how many babies would these Nigerians need to breed with your women in order to outnumber you and take over your society.

For many years we lived under Nigerian rudeness and arrogance in SA - how do you think you gained title of most disliked foreigners in the country?

That's why there's a violent reaction to anything Nigerian in SA.

You guys created the hate.

morpheus24:
There are 60 million of you against less than 1 million Nigerians, how fast and how many babies would these Nigerians need to breed with your women in order to outnumber you and take over your society.
?

JaceBlaze IronGalaxy here's one for the records. Morpheus says there are 1 million Nigerians in SA and yet their government thinks it's enough to repatriate 1000+ people.

morpheus24:
Even if she did, why would that take away from her ability to compete in a Miss South Africa beauty paegent. One of your female footballers is of strong greek heritage and doesn't shy away from acknowleding this. Why haven't you guys kicked her out of the bafana bafana team but when it comes to another African somehow it is impossible for them to have dual identities.

Where are all those Nigerian men who were telling us they're gonna takeover SA by creating children with SA women because SA women love them? No one now will admit they ever said that.

Chidimma, Igbo King rejected and caused riots in SA.

Nigerians airlifted out of SA 😂😂😂

That's your answer to messing with South Africans. 🇿🇦🏆🏆🏆

JaceBlaze:
I mean the girl won a beauty pageant title she wasn't even a contestant in.If there ever was clear definition of what being scammed is...

The whole thing is a revelation on its own.No more,no less.Period!!

Someone once mentioned the words "fantastically corrupt" nation of "particular concern" 🤔🤔🤔

You come in 2 weeks before final and win, grab prizes, leave cow-ntry, no contractual obligations, no noise, live happily ever after in SA. 🇳🇬💩💩💩

morpheus24:
Here you go.

Tomorrow the xenophobes will say Morpheus argues just for arguement sake.

https://www.thesouthafrican.com/lifestyle/new-details-alleged-chidimma-adetshina-identity-theft/

The mother whose identity appears to have been stolen, applied for an ID document in 1995 in Tshwane. The first red flag came when she went to collect it. She was told by officials that it was ready for collection in Johannesburg. Six-years later, when the same woman give birth to a child, she was informed that a child had already been registered under her name/ID number. That child was Adetshina. For months she tried to rectify the situation. The department eventually issued her a new ID number, allowing her to finally register her child’s birth certificate.

So this means Chidimma's parents are no longer criminals for stealing someone's identity?

morpheus24:
South Africa talking points and propaganda.

At the beginning of this saga Home affairs stated that the so called "child" struggling through did indeed obtain a new ID which is why you haven't seen anyone surface saying otherwise. Chidinma did not steal someones "identity",
?

Please provide proof. Reason we don't know who's identity was stolen is because the law prohibits it. Had we known the name SA keyboard warriors would have solved this crime forever ago.
