South Africans in one village in Limpopo province were captured on video protesting the burial of a Nigerian man by his South African girlfriend/spouse in their village.

They called on the "Jollofina" (woman into Nigerian men) to bury her Nigerian man in Nigeria and not desecrate their sacred South African land.

Eventually the video shows the hearse leaving the cemetery with the coffin aboard and police looking on, as the crowd cheer their victory.

The video has been viewed oved 700,000 times since July 09.

Thought this was Gauteng to Limpopo? Don't see a point why it should go to ZIm

Do you know how many Malians, Senegalese, Cameroonians, Chadians, & even Niger nationals that currently live in Nigeria? Virtually more than half of the tricycle riders in nigeria come from those countries. Besides, there are no countries in the world without a sizeable Nigerian population. Ask Kenyans, ask Ghanaians, ask Libyans, ask Americans, ask the Britons, ask the Italians. It is because black south Africans are unexposed, local and have no travel experience, that's why they think Nigerians see something special in south Africa. Nothing special there. Travelling is just our way of life.

Civilised people all over the world are known for their great travelling experience. There are more Jews in South Africa, USA, UK, Germany, India, Russia than there are in the land of Israel. The Irish population today is lower than the Irish population of the 18th century because of rich travel experience. Even south Africa has mixed race due to the travel nature of civilized Europeans. The lack of travel experience amongst south African blacks is majorly responsible for their closed mind, local reasoning and hatred towards the intelligent and well travelled Nigerians

KingCold:
Yeah, white people brought mountains, wildlife, beaches, flora, and fauna.. all the things that make SA beautiful to South Africa..

Your Nigerian obsession for the white man and jealousy dwarfs logical reasoning... this myth is also tired asf

Jieta2:
if they don't tag Nigeria, how will the topic trend?

KingCold:
LOL, This forum is the pits, notice how they deleted my comment..? comments without insults.. They allow these Nigerians to talk smack towards us but don't allow us to retaliate with facts

KingCold:
it's jealousy my friend.. it dwarfs logic.. I expected these types of comments.. brace yourself as more are coming 😆 🤣

Ruke1990:
Morocco , Mauritius beats south Africa hands down. Seychelles too is part of a few more African countries that leads in terms of beauty while SA follows them from behind. Egypt and South Africa both share number 4 position. We thank God for white SA nationals, if not they could have been far behind cape Verde, Kenya, Tanzania, Algeria

Refilwe Motiang, a 31-year-old woman from Midrand in Johannesburg, recently had a harrowing experience that almost left her blind.

What was meant to be a pampering session at the salon turned into a nightmare. Last Thursday she went to the salon to get her eyelash extensions done in preparation for a trip to the North West province. During the process she felt an intense burning sensation in her eyes, which she described as unbearable.

“My eyes were burning,” Motiang said.

Despite informing the technician, she said she was told it was normal and the glue was strong to make the lashes last longer. However, the pain persisted and she soon found herself struggling to open her eyes, with excessive tearing and difficulty lifting her eyelids.

“I started feeling cold and shivering, then I asked to go outside. Next thing I was struggling to open my eyes. My eyes were tearing up and I was struggling to lift up my eyelids. That's when I realised something was bad.”

Motiang was rushed to a Netcare hospital, where doctors discovered that her cornea had been damaged.

“I was really scared. I couldn’t see, I could only hear people talking to me. I couldn’t manoeuvre around them. I kept wondering, what does this mean? Does it mean they're going to take out my eyes? I was worried, but I tried not to show it.

“I can't explain the pain I had in my eyes. It felt like I had boxes inside my eyes.”

Motiang was discharged the following day but spent several days with eye patches, unable to see, and was forced to stay indoors in a dark room to avoid direct light.

She explained how traumatic the experience was, not just physically but also emotionally.

“I felt alone and sad, thinking, all this just because I wanted to look pretty? Even mentally I was not OK — but I was hopeful that I would be fine.”

Motiang now regrets getting her eyelash extensions and is considering legal action against the salon.

“The whole thing was traumatic. My children were worried. I regret it because of the way it affected my family. The hospital bills were also expensive.”

She is still undergoing check-ups and slowly regaining her eyesight.

According to Paballo Mbabama, an eyelash technician at Blackdime Beauty Bar, using the wrong type of glue, inadequate ventilation and insufficient space between lashes can cause a burning sensation and damage.

She advised clients to be aware of unusual pain and recognise potential damage.

“If the smell of the glue is too strong, then the glue is not for sensitive eyes. If the burning sensation is too much, it's not normal. The glue shouldn’t burn to a point where you get extremely red eyes or can’t blink properly,” she said.

Its White monopoly capital that is funding all this any way not those meager tax dollars coming from your monthly paycheck working for Checkers.

wiseone28:
Funny how you black south African always discredit the white in your country whenever others give them credit.

seppuku:
Are you advertising your country for Tourism or are you trying to make Nigerians jealous of your "Well infrastructed" country.

Either way this topic is misplaced and needs to go to Safferland.com neh!

The family of Zambia's former President Edgar Lungu says he will be buried in South Africa in a private ceremony following a row with the government over the funeral arrangements.

Late on Thursday, President Hakainde Hichilema cut short a period of national mourning after Lungu's family refused to allow his body to be repatriated from South Africa as planned. His funeral had been set for Sunday in Zambia's capital, Lusaka.

The family now says it will announce later when Lungu will be buried in Johannesburg in "dignity and peace".

It will be the first time a former head of state of another country is buried in South Africa.

In his will, Lungu said that Hichilema, his long-time rival, should not attend his funeral.

The government and his family later agreed he would have a state funeral before relations broke down over the precise arrangements.

"We wish to announce that the funeral and burial of our beloved Dr Edgar Chagwa Lungu will take place here in South Africa, in accordance with the family's wishes for a private ceremony," family spokesperson Makebi Zulu said in a statement.

Mr Zulu thanked the South African government for "non-interference" and honouring the family's decision and desire during "this deeply emotional period".

In his address on Thursday, President Hichilema said that Lungu, as a former president, "belongs to the nation of Zambia" and his body should therefore "be buried in Zambia with full honours, and not in any other nation".

However, because of the row, he announced an immediate end to the mourning period, saying the country needed to "resume normal life".

"The government has done everything possible to engage with the family of our departed sixth president," he said.

The national mourning period initially ran from 8 to 14 June but was later extended until 23 June, with flags flying at half-mast and radio stations playing solemn music.

President Hichilema and senior officials had been prepared to receive Lungu's coffin with full military honours on Wednesday.

However, Lungu's family blocked the repatriation of his remains at the last minute, saying the government had reneged on its agreement over the funeral plans.

The opposition Patriotic Front (PF), the party Lungu led until his death, has stood with the family over the funeral plans.

"The government has turned a solemn occasion into a political game," said PF acting president Given Lubinda. "This is not how we treat a former head of state."

Civil society groups have called for an urgent resolution of the matter, with a section of religious leaders saying the stand-off was "hurting the dignity of our country".

"We appeal for humility, dialogue, and a resolution that honours the memory of the former president while keeping the nation united," said Emmanuel Chikoya, head of the Council of Churches in Zambia.

Lungu, who led Zambia from 2015 to 2021, died earlier this month in South Africa where he was receiving treatment for an undisclosed illness.

After six years as head of state, Lungu lost the 2021 election to Hichilema by a large margin. He stepped back from politics but later returned to the fray.

He had ambitions to vie for the presidency again but at the end of last year the Constitutional Court barred him from running, ruling that he had already served the maximum two terms allowed by law.

Despite his disqualification from the presidential election, he remained hugely influential in Zambian politics and did not hold back in his criticism of his successor.

There's also a movie series about the kingdom.

MultiChoice is investigating unbundling its popular SuperSport line-up from its other DStv channels as part of a broad channel composition review to address changing consumer preferences.

The broadcaster told MyBroadband it has accelerated its efforts into exploring potential changes to the composition of its DStv bouquets.

“This includes considering whether certain bundled elements, such as SuperSport and General Entertainment, could be offered differently in future,” the company said.

MultiChoice said the initiative was still in its early stages and that it was still assessing the offering’s commercial impact and customer value.

“It is also too early to comment on the specifics of any potential model — including whether changes would be optional or how pricing might be structured,” MultiChoice said.

“We remain committed to delivering flexibility and value to our customers and will share further updates as and when there is meaningful progress to report.”

DStv’s extensive sports offering is considered its biggest drawing card. The broadcaster provides live coverage of all major rugby, cricket, football, golf, tennis, and motorsport events.

Over the years, many people have expressed interest in a package with only its SuperSport channels at a more affordable price than its flagship Premium subscription.

MultiChoice’s prospective new owner, Groupe Canal+, offers a dedicated sports bouquet separate from its main subscription.

The French broadcaster’s Canal+ Sport package boasts nine sports channels and an Apple TV+ subscription for €34.99 (R720) per month.

If Canal+ plans to use a similar strategy for DStv if its acquisition pans out, a separate SuperSport offering may become a reality.

“Canal+ won’t strip out sport from the existing package setup since it forms an integral part of the traditional pay-TV bundle,” Ferreira said.

Canal+ and MultiChoice still need to get final approval for the transaction from the Competition Tribunal and the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (Icasa).

The Competition Commission has already greenlit the transaction, recommending that the Tribunal conditionally approve the transaction.

If all goes according to plan, the two broadcasters expect the transaction to be completed by October 2025.
