| Foreign Affairs › Billionaire & CAF President, Patrice Motsepe, Touted As SA's Next President -PIX by RandDigital(op): 2:43pm On May 07, 2025*. Modified: 4:56pm On May 07, 2025 |
VIDEO: Why Patrice Motsepe could become next president of South Africa https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBKFdMFBLYU?si=KUtQYiA3mWUeDXT2 Senior ANC members want to convince the billionaire Patrice Motsepe to make himself available to stand as the party’s next president. Rapport cited two well-placed sources who said many ANC members have been trying to convince Motsepe to enter politics for some time. They have even designed a flyer with Motsepe as incoming ANC President, Senzo Mchunu as incoming Deputy President, and Oscar Mabuyane as incoming Secretary General. However, the sources highlighted that it is still early days and that there is a long road ahead before the next ANC National Conference in 2027. Sunday World reported that the leadership race is in full swing despite warnings from ANC secretary general Fikile Mbalula. Mbalula highlighted the principle that no one is allowed to engage or promote themselves in the name of the ANC for any position in the build-up to the 2027 national conference. “Anyone engaging in leadership contestations and discussions outside the agreed approach will face the consequences and be subjected to disciplinary processes,” he said. Deputy President Paul Mashatile, Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi, and Fikile Mbalula are other potential candidates for the ANC president position. WHO IS PATRICE MOTSEPE? Billionaire businessman Patrice Motsepe is a dark horse in the race for ANC President. However, this is not far-fetched. Motsepe has close ties with the ANC and has supported the political party for decades. He is also President Cyril Ramaphosa’s brother-in-law. He has built an incredible business empire with assets in mining, the finance industry, telecommunications, and sports. His business success belies the fact that he had a humble upbringing without the luxuries many of his fellow billionaires enjoyed as children. Motsepe was born in South Africa in the early 1960s, where he grew up in Ga-Rankuwa during the height of Apartheid oppression. His father was a schoolteacher and owned a tuck shop. Here, Motsepe was taught basic business skills. He was also exposed to miners, who often frequented the store. This helped him to create a business empire which stretches across Africa, with a strong focus on mining. His business acumen has been widely recognised, and in 2002, the chief executive officers of the top 100 companies in South Africa voted him South Africa’s Business Leader of the Year. He also won the Ernst & Young Best Entrepreneur of the Year Award. In 2017, Forbes Magazine honoured Motsepe as one of the “100 Greatest Living Business Minds” in the world. Motsepe’s success in the business world and his humble roots will resonate with South Africa’s voting population, especially through his ties with soccer. He is the president and owner of the Mamelodi Sundowns Football Club and was elected president of the Confederation of African Football in 2021. These organisations are considered well run and successful, and voters will see Motsepe as having the potential to translate this success into the political world. 5 Likes 1 Share

| Phones › MTN SA Launches $5 Low-Cost 4G Smartphones For The Poor - PICTURES by RandDigital(op): 3:05pm On May 05, 2025 |
MTN South Africa plans to offer 4G smartphones that cost from 99 rands ($5.4) to 1.2 million of its prepaid customers as part of work to shift the country from older 2G and 3G technologies. The initiative will be executed in three phases commencing in May 2025 until the end of 2026, MTN said in a statement on Monday. One of the conditions for receiving the device is that it can only be used with an MTN Sim card. “In phase 1, over 5000 carefully selected customers will be offered 4G smartphones. The selection will be based on usage profiles, spending patterns and tenure, and will mainly be in Gauteng province (around Johannesburg and Pretoria),” the company said. “In phase 2, more than 130 000 customers nationally will be offered the devices. In the third phase, more than 1.1 million MTN customers across the country will benefit.” The devices will come pre-loaded with a variety of applications. MTN didn’t say if WhatsApp — the de facto messaging app owned by Meta Platforms and used by millions of South Africans daily — was among them. MTN South Africa CEO Charles Molapisi said: “Regardless of where they live, we want to ensure that all South Africans can access the digital world.” MTN has partnered with Smartphone For All, founded by Babatunde Osho, a former CEO of Metrofile Nigeria who also served as chief enterprise solutions executive at MTN Nigeria. Osho holds an MBA from Imperial College Management School and an MSc from the London School of Economics and Political Science. He has also completed executive programmes at Wharton Business School, Oxford Said Business School and IMD Business School. DRIVING DOWN COSTS The company told TechCentral that the low-cost 4G devices won’t be limited to one model — a variety of smartphones will be offered through the initiative. For phase 1, MTN is distributing a 5.5-inch model from Itel, though it hasn’t provided the exact device details. The move by MTN comes six months after rival Vodacom South Africa announced it was introducing a 4G “smartphone” for R249 ($13). The Mobicel S4-branded phone, which Vodacom described as a “cloud-based handset”, was introduced to “reduce the cost of smartphone access in the country” and to migrate more of the operator’s customers to 4G. “The cloud phone will help customers still anchored to 2G phones and not familiar with the touch-screen experience, allowing them to appreciate a smooth transition to the data and application world,” said Davide Tacchino, managing executive for terminals at Vodacom South Africa in a statement at the time. South Africa’s mobile operators are under pressure to migrate legacy 2G and 3G users to more modern technology so the spectrum can be freed up for more advanced technologies, including 4G and 5G. Vodacom last year cited a 2022 Vodafone-funded report by the Broadband Commission for Sustainable Development in 2022, which argued that lowering the cost of devices was key to increasing access to smartphones. “The Alliance for Affordable Internet estimates that a smartphone priced at US$62 could cost almost 63% of the average monthly income across Africa. The Broadband Commission’s report recommended that so-called thin-client phones – like the new cloud-based phone which Vodacom has delivered – should be explored. The new cloud-based phone leverages the power of cloud computing to deliver a range of features typically associated with entry smartphones at a more affordable cost.” 3 Likes 3 Shares

| Autos › A Look At BMW’s 5-star, Circular Headquarters In South Africa - PICTURES by RandDigital(op): 2:07pm On May 05, 2025 |
German automaker BMW’s circular office in Midrand, Johannesburg, won a 5-star rating for its environmentally friendly features. BMW, which also owns Mini and Rolls-Royce, moved into its South African headquarters in Midrand in 2015. The iconic building is located next to Pretoria Main Road and off the N1 Highway. It is close to Grand Central Airport and the Midrand stop on the Gautrain. About 600 associates work in the building, with diverse fields including marketing, human resources, business strategy, and example sales for the BMW brand, Mini and BMW Motorcycle. The main building in Midrand is part of an “open campus,” which also includes the offices of the Financial Services section and the on-site training centre. The group’s website states, “Our uniquely designed atrium garden invites you to take a moment of relaxation and reload your energy. “ The Green Building Council of South Africa awarded the building a 5-star rating in 2015 for its environmentally friendly features. The rating made BMW South Africa the first automotive company in South Africa to receive the rating. The rating considered the indoor environment quality, energy, transport, water, materials, land use, ecology, emissions, and innovations. Variables that added to Midrand HQ’s GBCSA 5-star rating included: Glass and solar-controlled louvres installed within the internal façade of the building, enabling enhanced daylight and thermal comfort. 90% of the office’s usable area now has an external view, providing good levels of daylight for occupants. The peak electrical demand on the building was reduced by 30%, which included an extensive use of LED lighting throughout the building. 5% of the parking bays are now dedicated to alternative fuel and hybrid vehicles, while 5% are reserved for motorbikes, mopeds and scooters. Water-efficient sanitary fittings were installed throughout the building. Water meters were installed for all major water uses and connected to a Building Management System to support proper facility management of water consumption. A dedicated storage area was provided for waste recycling, All topsoil impacted by the construction was separated and protected from degradation, erosion, or mixing with fill or waste, and it still remains onsite. In addition to its Midrand headquarters, BMW has a manufacturing plant in Rosslyn, Pretoria, and an IT hub in Menlyn, Pretoria. 13 Likes 3 Shares

| Christianity Etc › SA City Bans Pastor Timothy Omotoso From Preaching Anywhere by RandDigital(op): 9:46am On Apr 28, 2025 |
The Mayor of the Buffalo City Metro, Princess Faku, made a bold statement on Sunday, saying that the self-proclaimed prophet Timothy Omotoso was not welcome in her city. Omotoso who was recently acquitted of more than 30 charges of human trafficking, rape and sexual abuse after a trial lasting eight years, is hosting a crusade in East London running from the 4th-11th of May at the Orient Theatre in the city. Mayor Faku took to social media on Sunday, saying that Omotoso would not be allowed to use any venue in the city, even if he paid for it. Metro Spokesperson Bongani Fuzile said BCM decided to cancel the booking at the Orient Theatre, making it clear that all bookings made at municipal venues towards this event would be cancelled, including venues in eQonce and Komani, which form part of the greater Metro. He says this decision was made to combat Gender-Based violence in the city. Fuzile said the municipality is encouraged by the urgent call to revisit the court decision that acquitted Omotoso who was charged with multiple counts of rape of young girls in his church. He said allowing his church crusade would pose a risk to the safety of young women in the metro. Fuzile said the municipality remains committed to building a society where women and children feel safe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBlr9njN5ew?si=40qpwSlLQXFYx0fk The televangelist and his two co-accused, Lusanda Sulani and Zukiswa Sitho, were acquitted by Gqeberha High Court judge Irma Schoeman, who found that the state had failed to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt after a trial lasting nearly eight years. Earlier this week, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) said it had appointed a senior counsel to bolster its internal team of sexual offences prosecutors who will assess and advise on the prospects of appealing the judgment in the Omotoso matter. NPA spokesperson, advocate Mthunzi Mhaga, said this decision was “informed by the importance and the complexity of the matter, and the fact that the state can only appeal an acquittal judgment, in terms of Section 319 of the Criminal Procedure Act.” 3 Likes 2 Shares

| Foreign Affairs › South Africans Praise Zelenskyy's Casual Clothes During State Visit - PICTURES by RandDigital(op): 7:25pm On Apr 26, 2025 |
This week, Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy touched down in South Africa to meet President Cyril Ramaphosa, wearing exactly the same outfit he wore to the White House to engage with President Donald Trump. But unlike the somewhat rude reception of his semi-casual attire in the US, South Africans were full of praise for the man who had shunned wearing a suit. Zelenskyy was in the country to forge diplomatic relations. This comes amid a tense standoff between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. SOUTH AFRICANS PRAISE ZELENSKYY’S CASUAL OUTFIT In a video clip posted on Athi Geleba’s TikTok, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was seen walking alongside President Cyril Ramaphosa outside the Union Buildings in Pretoria. Ramaphosa donned a navy suit, red tie, and a pin bearing the South African flag. Zelenskyy, known for his casual clothing, wore an all-black look consisting of a buttoned-down shirt and chinos. On his shirt was a three-pronged spear, which is visible on its coat of arms and is a national symbol of Ukraine. The outfit was nearly identical to the one Zelenskyy wore to the White House last month. However, instead of being scolded for “disrespecting” the unofficial dress code, the 47-year-old leader of the war-torn country was praised by South Africans for “not conforming” to “Western standards”. WHY DOES HE NEVER WEAR A SUIT? President Zelenskyy has previously spoken of his decision to shun formal attire amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine. He is often spotted wearing military regalia in public in “solidarity” with those fighting to protect his country. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5AhGudWFfk?si=uqV2tPk3WMhdXueK When asked why he “disrespected” the White House’s dress code last month, Zelenskyy responded, “Do you have a problem?”. Toe agitated leader added: “I will wear a (suit) costume after this war finishes, yes. Maybe something like yours, yes, maybe something better. I don’t know, we will see. Maybe something cheaper. Thank you”. 1 Like 2 Shares

| Foreign Affairs › Zelenskyy & Ramaphosa Hold Peace Talks In SA, Trump Briefed - PICTURES by RandDigital(op): 7:18pm On Apr 24, 2025 |
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zkUGb__j1s?si=TMvruBuJclXnaSTY Speaking ahead of the visit of Ukrainian President, Volodmyry Zelenskyy, South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa stated that he received a call from Donald Trump. The call was initially to discuss Russia’s war on Ukraine, but also included other topics. Both Ramaphosa and Trump agreed that the war needed to be brought to an end as soon as possible, to avoid any further deaths. The call also took place a day after Ramaphosa had a call with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The two also reportedly committed to working together to find a peaceful resolution to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPM-uifrdmU?si=CZJzwb-1RCVTKFJ1 While the call with Trump centred around Thursday's visit by Zelenskyy, it also touched on relations between South Africa and the USA. Ramaphosa stated in an X post that they wanted to meet to address various matters. “We also spoke about the need to foster good relations between our two countries,” he said. There has been a mixed opinion about whether South Africa should attempt to fix things with the US, with many viewing it as giving in to Trump. The US President has made numerous false claims against the country and even cut funding to South Africa. He has also offered (white) Afrikaners a chance to become refugees in the USA if they didn't feel safe in South Africa. 4 Likes 1 Share

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l903Z3LydPc?si=TAsudwNDkS9nauBF US President Donald Trump has nominated Brent Bozell III as Washington’s new ambassador to South Africa amid a historic diplomatic deep freeze between the two countries. The nomination is one of many for several diplomatic postings around the world, published on the website of the US Congress. It followed 10 days after Washington expelled South Africa’s ambassador Ebrahim Rasool after he told a webinar hosted by a local think tank that Trump was trying to create a “supremacist revolution” at home and abroad. Bozell’s nomination must be confirmed by the US Senate. He was named by Trump in January to head the US Agency for Global Media, an umbrella agency overseeing government-funded broadcasters including Voice of America and Radio Free Europe. But on Friday Trump signed a decree dismantling the agency “to the maximum extent consistent with applicable law”. His nomination as its chief executive was formally withdrawn on Monday, according to the congressional website. Bozell is a lifelong conservative activist and founder of the Media Research Centre, which campaigns against what it identifies to be liberal bias in the mainstream media, and has portrayed Trump in particular as the victim of such bias. He also founded a related organisation that seeks to counter liberal influence on American culture. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9W6QsZk0es?si=y_HNDgAQbGZ0Tn83 He was once deeply critical of Trump but shifted his stance in the latter part of his first term as president and claimed that the 2020 presidential election was “stolen” after Trump lost to Joe Biden. His son Leo Brent Bozell was among about 1 600 Trump supporters charged for storming the US Capitol on 6 January 6 2021. He was pardoned by the president in January. There was no immediate comment from the department of international relations on Bozell’s nomination. The former US ambassador to Pretoria Reuben Brigety announced his resignation in November last year, effective from January. The deputy head of mission Dana Brown took over as acting chargé d’affaires, but resigned from the foreign service at the end of last month. David Greene, the deputy chief of mission in Abuja, Nigeria, was named as chargé d’affaires, pending the appointment of a new ambassador. President Cyril Ramaphosa’s office said last week that he would not rush to name a new ambassador to Washington. Privately, government officials have said he faced a complicated search for a candidate who could prove acceptable to a hostile administration that has demanded “policy change” from South Africa. In February, Trump signed an executive decree suspending all aid to South Africa after accusing the government of fomenting terrorism, seizing white-owned land and enabling the persecution of the Afrikaner minority. Ramaphosa’s office last week refuted suggestions by the US state department that the country was working with the Islamic Republic to develop nuclear arms. 1 Share

Nigerian man cries bitterly from heartache following SA win https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3AZJbyjI20?si=qT7_uWoTADArUa7W Bafana Bafana have been handed a huge advantage as the Super Eagles dropped points against Zimbabwe in their FIFA World Cup qualifying match on Tuesday evening. South Africa now sit comfortably on top of Group C with 13 points following a 2-0 win over Benin in Ivory Coast. Bafana Bafana are now five points ahead of Benin Republic and six points ahead of Nigeria. South Africa are in a tough spot as they face a potential three-point deduction for fielding Teboho Mokoena against Lesotho despite his suspension. Bafana Bafana secured a 2-0 win in that game, with goals from Relebohile Mofokeng and Jayden Adams, but the blunder could cost them dearly. Mokoena had accumulated two yellow cards in the Fifa World Cup qualifiers against Benin and Zimbabwe, making him ineligible for the Lesotho match. However, his participation went unnoticed until after the game, putting the team at risk of punishment from the football governing body. However, the blunder was not picked up by Lesotho, and they missed the 24-hour deadline to report the matter to the match commissioner, CAF or FIFA. In the event that Bafana Bafana are docked 3 points, Lesotho would move to second on the log with 9 points, resulting in the Super Eagles dropping to fifth position and second last in the group. Nigeria have also protested against Bafana Bafana. 1 Share

MALEMA: US not interested in diplomacy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFm8ILH-LUI?si=pO2M2c2thOw1WqkM EFF leader Julius Malema has courted controversy with his performance of the Apartheid struggle song Kill The Boer (Afrikaner) on Human Rights Day, Friday. The controversial party leader addressed a crowd of supporters at Dlomo Dam in Sharpeville as part of its “Sharpeville Day” commemoration. Many South Africans, including Pretoria-born billionaire Elon Musk, have criticised Malema’s performances of the song. In clips circulating on the X app, clips of Julius Malema singing Kill The Boer quickly went viral. The EFF party leader closed out his Sharpeville Day commemoration with the controversial struggle song. Kill the boer (Afrikaner) song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PihqU-fsUNE?si=FZqUAJnatIsMhoSv[code][/code] MALEMA BLASTS TRUMP ADMINISTRATION During his address, Malema responded to critics of the land Expropriation Bill, which included US President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, who have been accused of spreading “misinformation” about South Africa. Trump has offered Afrikaner South Africans the opportunity to seek refugee status in America over his claims of “racial discrimination.” Of the widely contended bill, Malema said: “Today we are confronting racists with legislation and a constitution to expropriate land without compensation. “The USA is not interested in diplomacy. The USA is interested in dominance over us by any means necessary. We must stand up and fight for ourselves because we represent a historical mission, and that mission is to return the land. “Whether Donald Trump likes it or not, we are going to fight for the return of this land in South Africa.” Addressing Musk, Malema continued: “We must not be intimidated by Elon Musk and everybody who stands with him. All those who are offered an opportunity to go to America because there is a genocide against them you are free to go. We have no home for racists in South Africa”. AFRIKANER LOBBY GROUP, AFRIFORUM, RESPONDS Malema’s performance of Kill The Boer had many South Africans outraged, particularly with the timing on Human Rights Day. Outspoken critics like Roland Schoeman, The Kiffness, and Renaldo Gouws condemned the EFF leader over his decision to sing the song. AfriForum’s Kallie Kriel (Afrikaner lobby group) – who is being probed for treason over his comments about South Africa – also reacted. Tagging both Donald Trump and SA President Cyril Ramaphosa, he tweeted: “As President @realDonaldTrump would say: “VERY BAD” things are happening in South Africa. Today, the chant Kill the Boer, kill the farmer, which targets Afrikaners and farmers, was once again sung in South Africa. “@PresidencyZA Ramaphosa and other senior ANC leaders were, as always, silent—once again giving it tacit support by not condemning it. Ironically, this happened today, a day officially recognised as Human Rights Day in South Africa”. ‘KILL THE BOER IS PART OF MY HISTORY’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbtrV29N5ZQ?si=F5LietccL1e46deW In 2023, Malema defended his performance of Kill The Boer at the EFF’s 10th anniversary celebrations. Speaking in a media address, he denied allegations the song would “incite violence” or fuel racial tensions. Malema said: “If it had any negative connotation, it should have done it in the 90s. It had all the reasons to do it in the nineties. It still hasn’t done it. So, why would he do it now? “To say to us don’t sing this song because it belongs to the nineties. You are asking me to forget my history. I will not do that. “It’s part of my history. It’s where I come from. I use this song to remind myself of what we’ve gone through”. He continued: “We’ve emphatically and repeatedly said the Boers and the farmers do not refer to individuals but refer to a system of oppression. “So from its inception, it has never been targeted at individuals. It has always been targeted as a system of oppression. “If we had intentions to kill anyone, we had 100,000 people under our noses after chanting it. We would have all left that stadium in unison to go and kill the white people. But our people understand it for what it is.” According to a 2022 ruling, the Equality Court found that Kill the Boer was not considered hate speech. 1 Share

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otkCs_oUEnY?si=SlCNcldWxe4N22hv Bafana Bafana prodded, pressured and picked apart Lesotho's resolute defence without losing their patience. They hit the side net, shook the sky, pummelled the post and when they found the target – Sekhoane Moerane was in a mean and ungiving mood in Lesotho's goals. But they remained patient. Likuena defended in numbers, camping in their own half and barely attempting to trouble Ronwen Williams who didn't make a single save. But they remained patient. Lyle Foster endured a frustrating night, while Percy Tau couldn't find his roar. But they, too, remained patient. Relebohile Mofokeng tormented the visitor's defence, creating and finding himself at the end of enough chances to easily help Bafana record a new big win margin to eclipse their 5-0 victory over Congo-Brazzaville in Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth). But he, just like everyone the green and gold of Bafana, remained patient. The 2-0 score-line – against a nation that has a semi-professional league, with some of their best players campaigning in South Africa's amateur structures and ranked 149th in a 210-member system – doesn't give the full picture of the significance of this result. In years gone by, these are the type of games where Bafana would have slipped up – losing their patience when they struggle to penetrate ultra defensive minnows and end up being caught on a counter for a sucker punch. But they have drastically improved in that regard, keeping their structure when things didn't work out after throwing everything at their opponents. Hugo Broos kept his composure on the bench, with his cool persona rubbing off on his players who kept passing the ball around as if to hypnotise the bus that Lesotho parked. Broos and his Bafana knew what Lesotho was going to throw at them. They saw eSwatini play similarly against Cameroon, in a match played on Wednesday that the team watched together at their base – The Ranch, just outside of Polokwane. So, when Lesotho applied the same approach – Bafana knew that patience was going to be their most important arsenal. They played a brand of enterprising football, controlled the game but also showed a fighting spirit when that was needed. The crowd also played their part, coming in numbers to fill Peter Mokaba Stadium in a continuation of South Africans showering Bafana Bafana with love. That support, which didn't give up on Bafana in their most frustrating spells, fuelled Broos' men in their attempt to break down a stubborn defence. "When you see the crowd today, how they supported and pushed us – they really helped us," said Broos after the match. "They pushed us to score the goals. I can only be happy. I am happy with the performance of my team. I said in the pre-match meeting that today we are going to fight more than just play beautiful football – but we did both. "We played beautiful football and also fought. We had seven or eight good chances to score. We learned a lot from the Afcon, and in a game like this where not everything is beautiful, you have to fight." That crowd, however, turned on Tau when he couldn't find the back of the net. Their reaction wasn't as animated because of the goals that Relebohile Mofokeng and Jayden Adams scored to give Bafana three points that put them at the top of their group. Mofokeng, 20, and Adams, 23, put on a display that gave a hint that Bafana's future could be prosperous. Even though the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) later this year and the 2026 FIFA World Cup are the main targets – Broos has also been preparing the team with an eye on the future. That future looks in safe hands, with not just the pair doing well but also a number of youngsters in the Premier Soccer League and even abroad raising their hands. The control that Bafana played with, despite missing two regulars in defence (Rushwin Dortley and Aubrey Modiba), without their playmaker and his potential successor (Themba Zwane and Patrick Maswanganyi) showed that the pool of players of the national team is expanding. Broos even had the chance to give Ndamulelo Maphangule, the Venda-born midfielder, a chance to play for his country in his home crowd. The quick-thinking Mofokeng called Maphangule to come close to him when Bafana got a throw, so that he could at least touch the ball after coming on in during referee's optional time. Mofokeng was paying forward the gesture of Williams, who implored Broos to give the then-teenager his Bafana debut against Zimbabwe in Bloemfontein last year. The thoughtfulness and caring nature of this team is what will see them return to the summit of African football. But to stay there and make an impact, Broos might have to make tough decisions with some of their attackers – especially Foster and Tau who have struggled to find their scoring touches, in a team that has improved up front in last few years. The naysayers will say that this was just a win over Lesotho, but those who have seen the mess in Mauritania, Bafana being crushed by Cape Verde and silenced by Seychelles – this win showed how much progress the team has made. Bafana didn't just beat a lowly side, but they exorcised the demons that have held them back 1 Share
