They would be knocked out in the first round.

Chucks13:
You mean South Africa to round of 16 in the World Cup? You are too funny.

SeraphicWind:
You now see that it was Nigeria that many of you Southies love to hate so much that actually gave joy to your country.

Nigeria could have decided to sabotage everything by allowing Benin republic to win and appear at the world cup for the first time.

By the way, what is wrong with that South African commentator?

Buharidgeneral:
Congratulations are in order. Despite point deductions Kundus for you all

9JAMac10:

Former South African President Thabo Mbeki showed he was a visionary of an unexpected sort on Sunday when he revealed a talent for landscape photography, with a particular eye for vibrant sunsets, the moody interaction of sky and water, and the harshness of the Karoo.

The secret came out at the end of a two-day meeting at Lake Pleasant, near George, of his task team on information society, a group that includes the chief executives of several major corporations in the information technology field.

To thank them for making the trip to South Africa, Mbeki presented the delighted visitors with framed enlargements of his photographs, each signed "ThaboM " in the bottom right-hand corner.

"This is the one I wanted," enthused Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, who received a view of the Karoo National Park which Mbeki had titled God's Canvas, and which she had admired when it was on display before the presentation.

Coincidentally, she had earlier given Mbeki one of her company's digital cameras and a printer to deliver immediate images.

The other photographs included dramatic rock formations near the Northern Province site of Mapungubwe, and panoramas of the green Drakensberg, and the St Lucia wetlands.

"One of the challenges in the presidency is to manage an artist who imposes all sorts of artistic work on us," joked master of ceremonies Frank Chikane, who is director general in Mbeki's office.

"For those who don't know, the president has a camera..."

"I've now got two," interjected Mbeki.

"He's got two, and finds quite extraordinary moments to capture in his busy schedule."

Chikane told the visitors that theirs were one-off prints.

"The picture that you have is the only picture in the world. No-one has a copy of it."

Mbeki said afterwards that he was not able to do as much photography as he wanted.

"It's only during the end of December, beginning of January, we normally take 10 days - two weeks - and go around the country, places we don't normally see.

"And it's a fascinating country, so much to see."

He said he could not say which was his favourite photograph.

"It would be discrimination against the people are receiving them," he laughed.

Gotocourt:
When Hamas was calling on all Islamic countries to join the war , what do you think is their aim?

He shouldn't be dressed in a suit

The suit and tie are the colonisers, land grabbers

Charlie2020:
This one thinks Palestinians/Arabs really give a 4K about him

lightwind:
Bro give credit to this guy's (Afrikaans) stop hating on them.

What can you do as a black South African

Makinaki:
My thoughts exactly. That RandDigital guy is fond of coming on Nairaland to post irrelevant SA stories. Who gives a sh_t about what's going on in xenophobic SA?

Fuckyoumod:
Like you are blacks are building Nigeria. After rushing to have independence.

The only reason south have that level of infrastructure is because the whites stayed, designed and developed South Africa.

So stop displaying your ignorance, bitterness, racism and illiteracy here.

If you don't like the white man, stop using their phones, cloths, shoes, cars, Internet, buildings.

Move to the bush and settle their.
Don't be a hypocrite. You can't hate them and like their inventions.

frog12:
