Some of the debate in the CNN blogs link

http://business.blogs.cnn.com/2011/01/04/should-bric-economies-become-briics/

(Reuters) - South Africa, Africa's top economy, has been invited by China to join the four-member "BRIC" grouping of fast-growing emerging markets, a government minister said on Friday.

South Africa received the invitation to join the group -- which currently includes Brazil, Russia, India and China -- from China's foreign minister, said a statement from South Africa's minister of international relations and cooperation, Maite Nkoana-Mashabane.

China, South Africa's largest trading partner, has invited South African President Jacob Zuma to attend a summit of BRIC leaders that Beijing will host next year, Nkoana-Mashabe said.

I'm impressed. Most people in Nigeria love football and basketball. The idea that some actually love and play rugby is amazing. I hope it gets really big and more people become aware of it. Then it won't be only South Africa representing in Rugby world cups.

Kenya,Zimbabwe and Namibia are also strong Rugby countries in Africa.Kenya has been doing very well in Rugby Seven over the last 3 years if you've been following rugby.South Africa is a super power in the world and all Africans need to rally behind them.

They say rugby is a hooligans sport watched by gentle man,while soccer is a gentlemans sport watched by hooligans

emofine:
Congrats RSA on your successful marriage. It is indeed a testimony in our day and age when couples stay together and moreover are still in love.

Sorry though I can't help you with that song plus I hate it with a passion or maybe I'm projecting my bias onto the artist .

RSA, I never knew South Africans listen to naija artists.

What other type of songs do you guys listen to in South Africa I mean international Artists i.e Fela Kuti

Our local radio stations and SABC do not play Naija Music but Channel O and MTV base do play it but Fela and Femi Kuti's music is played and is loved by many,their music is played in radio stations that cater for more mature audiences,they play your Marim Makebas,Youssou Ndour,Salif Keita,Baaba Maal,Ismael Lo,Oliver Mtukuzi and many other musos from the continent.

But Naija Pop is becoming recognisable in the country,artist like Nneka,Asha do recieve airplay in the young stations,I think because their music is more internationally appealing than your DBANJ,WANDE COAL OR 9CE.

Personaly I like music,I have a wide range of taste in music,esspecially African.My favouarate ranges from Femi Kuti(Who I name one of my son's) to Tuface,Wande Coal,D Banj Koko Master ,Banky W to East Africa's Nameless,Mozambique's Dama Do Bling,,SA's Teargas,Skwatta Kamp,Da Les,Bongz,Liquideep,DJ Kent,Black Coffee,Thandiswa Mazai,Simphiwe Dana,Big Nuz,HHP,Molemi,Khuli Chana, and many others.

I see this thread was started in 2008,did D Banj re-release the song?,cause I've just started hearing it this year,end of the year.I love the song.

Can some one tell where I could buy this album or Naija Music in South Africa?

I want to play this song on my 10 year wedding anniversary on the 28th of this month,I am thirty one and my wife is twenty nine,we got married when we were still both very young and I won't change the last ten years for anything,we're both still madly inlove with each other and God have been too good to us.

When we got married I could not even afford to pay her Lobola( bride fees) but her parents knew how much we love each and they accepted the little bit I had and gave us their blessing.Since then she's been my Sugar Banana and my Sweet Potato

Now I want this D Banj song to be that song that people,including us to remember the annivessary with.So help me Naija Joburgers

ElRazur:
Why not go back to the cave era and live the live of a traditional zulu. You know, hunting with spear and arrow? smh.

Maybe this will tell you who I am Sir,

I am an African BY PRESIDENT THABO MBEKI.

I owe my being to the hills and the valleys, the mountains and the glades, the rivers, the deserts, the trees, the flowers, the seas and the ever-changing seasons that define the face of our native land.

My body has frozen in our frosts and in our latter day snows. It has thawed in the warmth of our sunshine and melted in the heat of the midday sun. The crack and the rumble of the summer thunders, lashed by startling lightening, have been a cause both of trembling and of hope.

The fragrances of nature have been as pleasant to us as the sight of the wild blooms of the citizens of the veld.

The dramatic shapes of the Drakensberg, the soil-coloured waters of the Lekoa, iGqili noThukela, and the sands of the Kgalagadi, have all been panels of the set on the natural stage on which we act out the foolish deeds of the theatre of our day.

At times, and in fear, I have wondered whether I should concede equal citizenship of our country to the leopard and the lion, the elephant and the springbok, the hyena, the black mamba and the pestilential mosquito.

A human presence among all these, a feature on the face of our native land thus defined, I know that none dare challenge me when I say - I am an African!

I owe my being to the Khoi and the San whose desolate souls haunt the great expanses of the beautiful Cape - they who fell victim to the most merciless genocide our native land has ever seen, they who were the first to lose their lives in the struggle to defend our freedom and dependence and they who, as a people, perished in the result.

Today, as a country, we keep an audible silence about these ancestors of the generations that live, fearful to admit the horror of a former deed, seeking to obliterate from our memories a cruel occurrence which, in its remembering, should teach us not and never to be inhuman again.

I am formed of the migrants who left Europe to find a new home on our native land. Whatever their own actions, they remain still, part of me.

In my veins courses the blood of the Malay slaves who came from the East. Their proud dignity informs my bearing, their culture a part of my essence. The stripes they bore on their bodies from the lash of the slave master are a reminder embossed on my consciousness of what should not be done.

I am the grandchild of the warrior men and women that Hintsa and Sekhukhune led, the patriots that Cetshwayo and Mphephu took to battle, the soldiers Moshoeshoe and Ngungunyane taught never to dishonour the cause of freedom.

My mind and my knowledge of myself is formed by the victories that are the jewels in our African crown, the victories we earned from Isandhlwana to Khartoum, as Ethiopians and as the Ashanti of Ghana, as the Berbers of the desert.

I am the grandchild who lays fresh flowers on the Boer graves at St Helena and the Bahamas, who sees in the mind's eye and suffers the suffering of a simple peasant folk, death, concentration camps, destroyed homesteads, a dream in ruins.

I am the child of Nongqause. I am he who made it possible to trade in the world markets in diamonds, in gold, in the same food for which my stomach yearns.

I come of those who were transported from India and China, whose being resided in the fact, solely, that they were able to provide physical labour, who taught me that we could both be at home and be foreign, who taught me that human existence itself demanded that freedom was a necessary condition for that human existence.

Being part of all these people, and in the knowledge that none dare contest that assertion, I shall claim that - I am an African.

I have seen our country torn asunder as these, all of whom are my people, engaged one another in a titanic battle, the one redress a wrong that had been caused by one to another and the other, to defend the indefensible.

I have seen what happens when one person has superiority of force over another, when the stronger appropriate to themselves the prerogative even to annul the injunction that God created all men and women in His image.

I know what if signifies when race and colour are used to determine who is human and who, sub-human.

I have seen the destruction of all sense of self-esteem, the consequent striving to be what one is not, simply to acquire some of the benefits which those who had improved themselves as masters had ensured that they enjoy.

I have experience of the situation in which race and colour is used to enrich some and impoverish the rest.

All this I know and know to be true because I am an African!

Because of that, I am also able to state this fundamental truth that I am born of a people who are heroes and heroines.

I am born of a people who would not tolerate oppression.

I am of a nation that would not allow that fear of death, torture, imprisonment, exile or persecution should result in the perpetuation of injustice.

The great masses who are our mother and father will not permit that the behaviour of the few results in the description of our country and people as barbaric.

Patient because history is on their side, these masses do not despair because today the weather is bad. Nor do they turn triumphalist when, tomorrow, the sun shines.

Whatever the circumstances they have lived through and because of that experience, they are determined to define for themselves who they are and who they should be.

We are assembled here today to mark their victory in acquiring and exercising their right to formulate their own definition of what it means to be African.

The constitution whose adoption we celebrate constitutes and unequivocal statement that we refuse to accept that our Africanness shall be defined by our race, colour, gender of historical origins.

It is a firm assertion made by ourselves that South Africa belongs to all who live in it, black and white.

It gives concrete expression to the sentiment we share as Africans, and will defend to the death, that the people shall govern.

It recognises the fact that the dignity of the individual is both an objective which society must pursue, and is a goal which cannot be separated from the material well-being of that individual.

It seeks to create the situation in which all our people shall be free from fear, including the fear of the oppression of one national group by another, the fear of the disempowerment of one social echelon by another, the fear of the use of state power to deny anybody their fundamental human rights and the fear of tyranny.

It aims to open the doors so that those who were disadvantaged can assume their place in society as equals with their fellow human beings without regard to colour, race, gender, age or geographic dispersal.

It provides the opportunity to enable each one and all to state their views, promote them, strive for their implementation in the process of governance without fear that a contrary view will be met with repression.

It creates a law-governed society which shall be inimical to arbitrary rule.

It enables the resolution of conflicts by peaceful means rather than resort to force.

It rejoices in the diversity of our people and creates the space for all of us voluntarily to define ourselves as one people.

As an African, this is an achievement of which I am proud, proud without reservation and proud without any feeling of conceit.

Our sense of elevation at this moment also derives from the fact that this magnificent product is the unique creation of African hands and African minds.

Bit it is also constitutes a tribute to our loss of vanity that we could, despite the temptation to treat ourselves as an exceptional fragment of humanity, draw on the accumulated experience and wisdom of all humankind, to define for ourselves what we want to be.

Together with the best in the world, we too are prone to pettiness, petulance, selfishness and short-sightedness.

But it seems to have happened that we looked at ourselves and said the time had come that we make a super-human effort to be other than human, to respond to the call to create for ourselves a glorious future, to remind ourselves of the Latin saying: Gloria est consequenda - Glory must be sought after!

Today it feels good to be an African

I am an African.

I am born of the peoples of the continent of Africa.

The pain of the violent conflict that the peoples of Liberia, Somalia, the Sudan, Burundi and Algeria is a pain I also bear.

The dismal shame of poverty, suffering and human degradation of my continent is a blight that we share.

The blight on our happiness that derives from this and from our drift to the periphery of the ordering of human affairs leaves us in a persistent shadow of despair.

This is a savage road to which nobody should be condemned.

This thing that we have done today, in this small corner of a great continent that has contributed so decisively to the evolution of humanity says that Africa reaffirms that she is continuing her rise from the ashes.

Whatever the setbacks of the moment, nothing can stop us now!
Whatever the difficulties, Africa shall be at peace!
However improbable it may sound to the sceptics, Africa will prosper!

Whoever we may be, whatever our immediate interest, however much we carry baggage from our past, however much we have been caught by the fashion of cynicism and loss of faith in the capacity of the people, let us err today and say - nothing can stop us now!

ElRazur:
American are evil? Yet you are using their technology from mobile phone down to the internet.
You sir, are a joke.
Why not go back to the cave era and live the live of a traditional zulu. You know, hunting with spear and arrow? smh.

I said this American bastarrds are evil and I am sticking to those words.
I am using 'their ' technology because I traded with them,they have my blass azz African money and I have 'their' evil  technology.Fair deal don't you think?
And yes I am a descended of great Africans and I am very proud of it,I know who I am and where I am from.I speak 8 great African languages that have a long and great history,I am proudly African,So Sir if you though my Africanese emabarraces me then think again.

Your goverment blew up twin towers,created Osama Bin Laden,whose family have ties with Bush's family.They asked Osama to make couple of tapes and walaaa! they went on to practice or test their weapons in Afghanistan because they where the easy targets and then went on to finnish the job in Iraq.Killing hundreds of thousands even millions innicent people so that they could steal their oil.Evil bastardss.

john_blaze:
when some people are confronted with truth, they choose to live in denial, there is overwhelming evidence(that is if you choose to look) that shows US government involvement in 9/11 attacks

I think it is extreme case of blind patriotism,their goverment overthrew more than 30 goverments accross the world who where democraticaly elected.If you're not with them then you deserve to be outsted(and they will make sure of that.)

ElRazur:
I heard the white man is the one infecting millions of blacks with HIV in SA too.

I heard Mandela is like Mugabe. I heard loads of shiiiiiitttttt that I cannot even prove but I am sticking to it.

Hopefully, you understand sarcasm.

I don't hear Americans killing thousands of Iraqis,I see them doing it,sse the difference? Americans arejust plain evil and evil never prevail over good.Wait and see,it will happen in our life time.

I say Americans bombed Twin Towers and World Trade Center and went on to destroy Afganistan for no reason(or personal gains) and continue to Iraq where hundreds of innocent lifes were losts.AMERICANS ARE TERRORISTS,BULLIES and EVIL(And I am not even a muslim or but I hate this American Bastaardds).

There is a say in Zulu that say 'Le mini le yeza na kuwe' meaning that day will also come to you.

Ref gives it to Otorogu

The Premier Soccer League has cleared the confusion surrounding Orlando Pirates’ second goal against Maritzburg United on Friday night.

Bucs won 2-1 at the Harry Gwala Stadium and their winner in the 83rd minute has either been given as an own-goal by Maritzburg United defender Fabian McCarthy according to media reports, including the Maritzburg United website.

However, some reports states that Ezenwa Otorogu scored the goal after a Maritzburg United defender tried to save McCarthy’s blushes by attempting to clear the ball on the line, but Otorogu put in his leg, handing Bucs the win.

KickOff.com sought clarity from the PSL’s PR and Press manager Altaaf Kazi and the latter confirmed Otorogu has been credited with the goal.

“According to the referee’s report on the match Otorogu scored the goal,” says Kazi. “So the referee, Jacob Frolick, gives the goal to Otorogu in his report and that’s how it will be,” Kazi adds.

Therefore, it means Otorogu has now scored two League goals for Bucs, the other one against Kaizer Chiefs recently when Bucs lost 3-1.

Former Kaizer Chiefs’ burly striker Zito Ogbonna, who has been in the country for some time now, is set to leave for trials overseas.

The Nigerian player returned to South Africa in September with the hope of landing a lucrative offer and making his come back to the Absa Premiership.

However following an unproductive stint at KS Apollonia Fier, an Albanian-based club, the 27-year-old player has been training on his own after he was unsuccessful in convincing a PSL team.

According to Ogbonna’s representative, the player will be going for trials to various countries overseas but did not want to disclose the names of the clubs or the countries.

Ogbonna joined the Amakhosi back in 2008 from a Romanian club CFR Cluj and the player’s two seasons at the club were hindered by injuries making it difficult for him to show his worth in the league,

I don't know much about Atiku but I could comment on President Zuma as a head of State of South Africa.

Few will disagree with me when I say that under his leadership a lot have been archived both economically and socially.He has been very critical about corruption and made it one of his top priority,crime have gone down dramatically,new infections of HIV has been reduced,few AIDS related death have been reported due to his rollout of free treatment for all inffected.He took his HIV test in public.He has fired 8 or so Ministers who are not perfoming and replaced them with new ones.His govement is spending more on upgrading infrustrcture in all cities around the country,there by creating hundred housands of jobs.

Yes he came to the office with a big cloud over his head but so far he has done nothing but dedicated himself to working for his country.And yes also I won't dispute that he has his faults but then he is a human being and he is not perfect,Just like Obama.

Teenage Nigerian striker heads for Ajax
Posted: 2010-11-19 13:03

Nigerian teenage striker Obinna Obinwogu has landed in the country to begin his trials with Ajax Cape Town.

Obinwogu, who played for Pepsi Academy and Kaduna United, and was capped at Under-17 level, is now hoping to pursue his football career in South Africa.

Speaking to KickOff.com upon his arrival in Johannesburg, the 18-year-old striker said the fact that the Urban Warriors believe in young players will suit his aspirations.

"I have seen some of their games on TV and have little bit of insight about South African football. I am currently in Johannesburg with my agent and will be moving down to Cape Town next week to train with Ajax.

"I know the team comprises many youngsters and I am hoping to fit in easily. I am confident that I will do well during my trials," Obinwogu adds.

Pirates vs Chiefs in TKO Final
Pirates defeat Maritzburg in TKO semi
Posted: Nov 21 2010

Orlando Pirates beat Maritzburg United 3-0 at the Chatsworth Stadium on Sunday afternoon to make it through to the Telkom Knockout Final.
Pirates' goals came from Dikgang Mabalane, Ezenwa Otorogu and an own-goal from Mor Diouf.
Ernst Middendorp and substitute Felix Obada were both sent off, Obada for an elbow to Clifford Ngobeni's chin.

Despite the scoreline, Maritzburg were unlucky as they played well, although credit to Pirates for taking their chances and putting the goals away well.
Maritzburg started superbly – neat touches, clever passing and confidence going forward evidence of a team unbeaten in six games.
The first shot on goal came from Diyo Sibisi, but his third minute effort was struck straight at Moeneeb Josephs.
Bucs looked somewhat rattled at the back and after John Arwuah tested Josephs with a well-executed 10th minute snap shot, the same player was unlucky to see his shot deflected wide of goal six minutes later.

Pirates took the lead against the run of play, Mabalane sweeping home at the back post after Daine Klate had flicked on a cross from Otorogu.
The goal knocked the wind out of Maritzburg’s sails and from that point onwards Pirates were very much back in the contest.
Andile Jali could have made it 2-0 after 30 minutes when the ball fell kindly to him on the edge of the box, but his shot was dismal.
Bevan Fransch provided a moment of hope, but fired over the bar, while Musa Nyatama’s great skill and positive run set up a chance for Sibisi, but he also couldn’t test Josephs.

Pirates then doubled their lead in the 43rd minute, Ortorogu taking advantage of some slack marking to head home Mabalane’s pin-point cross.
Middendorp was asked to leave the field shortly before the end of the first half, after being extremely vocal in his protestations against referee Daniel Bennett's decisions.

Rooi Mahamutsa went close with a shot from the edge of the area three minutes after the break, but United then took the fight to Pirates, earning a succession of free kicks within 30-yards of goal.
Diouf was unlucky not to score with one of these, with 54th minute thunderbolt clearing the bar by the smallest of margins.
But following that early burst, United found it increasingly to break down or create openings against the Buccaneers defence.

Patrick Malokase could have got his name on the score-sheet in the 81st minute, but reacted too slowly to Mabalane’s miss-hit shot.
United were then reduced to 10 men when Obada was sent off after his trailing arm caught Ngobeni in the face.
And with two minutes to go a forgettable afternoon was completed for the Pietermaritzburg side when Diouf deflected a cross into his own goal.

^Pride of Africa,Ghana.I love that place and its people.

Has he started building power stations? If not then promising stable power in six month is a lie.

Now you all sounding like 5 year olds,'my father's car is faster than yours',my Mom cook better than yours' blablablah,nywee nnywee nywee!

Shut up and talk sense.

What is football anyway?

Otoumfour I agree with you in everything you've said.

semid4lyfe:
RSA, how bodi?

S.A hosted the AWC to use the home advantage to get to the final and qualify for the world cup and perhaps win it but still Banyana Banyana fell short. How do you feel?

Maybe SA should host the AWC in 2014 again so you can qualify for the 2015 Women's World Cup . . .LWKMD

Are you aware that  South Africa have been the runners up three times,twice losing to Nigeria and once to Eq Guinea?.Yes we have not won the championship,and so are the other 52 countries in Africa but we are competing well.
I aggree that Nigerian woman football is currently very strong and deserve to dominate africa.
We will continue to host tournaments in order to help develop football in the continent,we're not hosting because we want to use the home adverntage to win it.Stop this jealousy on South Africa.

Anyways this threads is not about SA vs Nigeria but Nigerian players in South African Premier League,the most lucrative league in Africa.It is about Otorogu,Olomu,Ariwareyi,Etafia,Oluwafemi,Obada and others.
