IronGalaxy:
He pushed it with an agenda, he knows an average Nairalander is not exposed is gullible and ignorant, and they'll likely gobble up this nonsense like Cool Aid. They're already insulting, let's just let them be

We'll wait for their twerker to appear in court (on the instructions of Ramaphosa) 😂😂😂

Road Traffic Management has expressed it's displeasure though.

IronGalaxy:
It's annoying, because this is insult-baiting.. watch them throwing insults.. You know them when it comes to all things South African

They think SA is like their country where people get arrested for naming their dogs after the president.

SA opposition parties would be up in arms if this was a true story - frontpage of every news outlet with wall to wall coverage on tv. Yet there's nothing on the internet from credible news sources.

I pity the person who pushed this to frontpage.

IronGalaxy:
As a South African, I can confirm this story is nonsense

Nairaland is starting again with spreading false news about South Africa. When has Ramaphosa ever ordered for anyone to be arrested in SA - the guy who helped write the SA constitution?

Commentor:
This is what a president is concerning himself with?

Deep fake. No credible news source is reporting this arrest, just fake news sites.

Game Over Israel campaign is gaining traction in Europe 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

You said you expect the whole bevy of women to be white.. don't shift goalposts

legitnow1:
U SEE THAT FINGER, SA WILL BE DEALT WITH PERSONALLY.

I think she's requesting a keke - I know a car & luxury apartment aren't part of her prize package like the fantastic Miss SA pageant.

KingCold:
or this one. Its always been rough

It's like a comedy skit!😂😂😂

KingCold:
Lol. Bruv, I've been to this forum a long time, I've seen many of your miss Nigeria contestants .. like this one below.. so please man

Dude, these 2 pics actually need to be side-by-side for a comparison in 4K 😂😂😂

RISQUE:
Nairaland can do anything for money. Imagine pushing South Africa topic to the front page.

Miss SA made global headlines last year with the Chidimma saga hence the focus on this year's event. It's not rocket science, NL mods understand news - you don't.

The City of Johannesburg’s busiest road, Lilian Ngoyi Street, was finally reopened after two years of repairs.

One person died and 48 others were injured in the explosion when the major corridor, formerly known as Bree Street, was split in two by a massive gas explosion during peak hour traffic on 20 July 2023.

Businesses and commuters were severely affected by missed deadlines, as the repair work took nearly 26 months to complete, which was double the initial deadline.

The newly reconstructed road, between Loveday Street and End Street, will be a one-way street travelling eastbound.

The road has been resurfaced with paving bricks, moving away from traditional tarred surfaces.

The JMPD said it appreciates the public’s cooperation and patience during the rehabilitation period and urged continued vigilance as everyone adjusts to the new road layout.

motymop:
Just curious, how does this PR changes violent crime and poverty among blacks in SA?

Why single out black South Africans? You still paining from last night's WC lashing?

Skeyskey:
But the picture is real?

Seems so but lacks context - can't tell where he was. AI predicts he was at a government event.

Skeyskey:
Not a new thing. Our own presido was seeing Crossing street too

😂😂😂 I see you got jokes!

Google lens search suggests otherwise.

KingCold:
Stats speak for themselves not individual goals boss.. The current team is far better than this one.

Don't know how you summon the energy to debate Sepoko.

A TikTok user recently shared a video of South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa casually crossing a street in Johannesburg, sparking curiosity, surprise and cheers among bystanders.

Watch video:
https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSDJ3SHAN/

The video, posted on Monday, has been viewed over a million times, liked over 70K times and garnered over 3K comments.

President Ramaphosa has been spotted numerous times taking walks along the beach or visiting malls.

jaxxy:
Of course they have. Black South Africans are doing quite well for them selves. I do know there are still challenges but it's still impressive sofar.

Just stop the xenophobia.

I was starting to get worried about you 👍🏽😂

The xenophobia issue is complex and spreading globally.

Lionessza6:
Hayi wena,don't make oga cry

We watered our pitch with their players' tears after the match 😂

seppuku:
Dont worry Mfethu, you will see me in the stadium in US and Mexico. I will be the one helping your fans translate from sesotho to English.

😂😂😂 You got jokes.

Just make sure you return to Nigeria after the WC. Don't let Trump's ICE on a wild goose chase looking for una 🇳🇬💩

seppuku:
Their players were shaking the whole entire match.

You drew against shakers - in a do or die match? Says a lot about the super chickens.

We'll send you postcards from the US 🇿🇦😎

What's your address?😂

jaxxy:
Nigeria was the Giant of Africa. We literally worked hardest to deliver South African blacks from the whites and ending apartheid era.

Be grateful.

Have black South Africans added to the country's development over the past 30 years - yes or no?

jaxxy:
The Facts about South Africa development and industrialisation are well documented we don't need a sage to tell us who's who and who did what.

So blacks have been sitting on their hands over the past 30 years of democracy, right? Like Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Botswana, etc have been sitting on their laurels as well? All countries Nigerians are desperate to japa to.

Lionessza6:
They think 1 Africa is all about migration ( and open borders ) . ....atleast that's the part that excites them when that topic comes up.

What an admission of failure to self-govern (this japa mentality). Now just waiting on SA and oyinbo Messiah

legitnow1:
IT IS NOW 1 AFRICA BECAUSE OF BENEFITS?

NO PROBLEM, THAT IS WAT WE PREACH.

We gave you benefits like malls, supermarkets, MTN and Dstv amongst many others, so we've been preaching 1 Africa for decades since we launched NEPAD 🇿🇦

Lionessza6:
Lol, you know them. That's why I mentioned that part to make them see that other African countries aren't sitting back making such outdated excuses, they're busy at work. Oh boy!. Now that's going to have a lot of nairalanders wishing us a second round of apartheid

Yep, no chance to oyinbo worship from Nigerians on this one

Congrats to Ethiopia - Egypt and Sudan can go to hell with their colonial era agreements over their unequal share of the water.

Lionessza6:
This is impressive ,I'm happy this didn't become another African elephant project with plenty of stories even with Egypt breathing down their necks. And there's no white people in Ethiopia

Yeah, if it was South Africa they would've said "thanks to the whites" . SA investing in Grand Inga Dam in DRC so our turn is coming soon

jaxxy:
Don't hippos belong in the water? Why are they roaming tge streets like pets?

ok there's a lake in the town.

When you don't cause animals stress then they don't attack you. In SA we understand that balance and the animals love us.
