@rsa, better carry your stupidity to your country, as corrupt as we are, we are not homosexuals like you people over there. Have you ever seen the driver of a sitting president bang and impregnate the presidents wife, it can only happen in south africa.

Our constitution say every citizen have the right to practice the religion of their choice freely without being prosecuted,every citizen have the right to practice their culture or beliefs freely.Our country stand for human rights and freedom.Mnadela and Co spend all their lives in Prison fight for this,Steven Biko,Chris Hnai and millions of black South Africans died for this course.We fought for freedom for all,and no citizen will ever be oppressed by the one because of their colour,creed,sex ,religion or culture.That is what South Africa stand for,Freedom.Gays and Lesbians are accepted in our communities,they are South Africans and we respect their choices.

Regarding Zuma,I am not his spokesperson but I can tell you that the body gaurd story is just a rumour that tabloits came up with,so I don't take them seriously.Newspaper too have a freedom of expression and they can write whatever they like without being prosecuted.So I am sorry to disassapoin you.

Yes please don't mention musicians who where not born or do not acknowledges Nigeria as their country.

tkb417:
commot; forget all those old school
check out Banky W, Tu Face Idibia , Dagrin, Mode 9, MI
hehehehe
those niggars will run down all those hip hop artists in SA

Now let see if the guys you've mention are above or on the same level as this Southy Hip hoppers

HHP,Tumi of Tumi and the volume,Proverb,Prokids,Jozi,Bongani Fassie,Da les

And remember our popular music is House,I know is not big there ,but the guys I mentioned above are on par with your musos if not above.

Because Jews run their country and they don't even know it.And they think Africa is one country,what do you call a person who meet you in New York and after explaining that you from South Africa he say 'I have a friend called Peter from Africa do you know him?' duh!!

seanet02:
@rsa, is this what you are trained to do? To useless a whole country, wonder why you cant find a forum like this in your country, you have your own problems there too, wonder why i use a lower case for your username? Yes that is what racists like you slowpoke desertei.

Please let us not divert from the topic,Kenyaman says Nigerians are more corrupt than any other nation in the world and I second him for obvious resean,and beside it is a poorly kept secret if it is,and I don't hear you arguing other wise except attacking me and calling me names.Yes you are right SA is boring there is not much to talk about other than good things we do like hosting a succesful world cup? .But if I want misery,pain,ethnic division,hate,corruption and people boasting about absolutely nothing then this is the perfect place.Forgive me you should understand,that in my country Zulus and Xhosa are not hating each other like Hausa and Igbhos.I love it here.Ting ting round two

I was just mentioning the obvious to Kenyaman.It is not the issue anymore,it's normal.

tkb417:
Nollywood is crap

our musicians are better than your musicians

RSA vs Nigeria in music?
hell no

Seal, Shade Adu, Nas , Fela are Nigerians

who do u have? Chaka chaka and Angelique Kidjo

no contest

Ok those are some of my favourate musos,other than Fela I didn't know they are Naijas.Ok I am giving you that one.But don't tell me about Dbanj,cause he is not a musician,there is no talent there.
We have Jazz,Hugh Masekela,Grammy winners Black Mambazo,Soweto Gospel Choir and many other musicians who you've never heard but have voices that even bring God to tears

Ok I have no issues with your musos,but your home videos still sucks.Don't call it movies give it some other names,yes find a name in pidgin,it will make lot of sense.

What is the argument here? the whole world knows how corrupt Nigeria is.The only people who don't know are Nigerians,because they're all corrupt there fore cannot even see when they are doing wrong things.

tkb417:
yeah right
just the way your music sound like uncoordinated noise

u guys learnt anythn from DBanj, 9ice, 2face and co yet?

Are we talking about South African music here? Because if you do then you have not listen to it So Dbanj sings? I thought e was a ragger/rapper or something but not a singer,and beside your musicians all sound alike.I have no problem with your musicians,they are not up there but they're trying and there is some improvement there and there.

But your Nollyhood is just a crap,they're not doing real movies,they should not be called movies.You cannot put any of your home video next to, say Sarafina,Tsotsi or worse any of Leon Shusters Movies.Stop fooling youself omo.

Nollywood,Gollywood whats that? a joke? What movies are these people making? Or is it those 7 hours useless drama taken by phone cameras?

Same all story from a typical frustrated Nigerian!

Saying Nigerians and other foreign nationals have it tough in Mzansi is understandable but for BLACKSPADE to say we did window dressing when it come to development in South Africa is a lie,a 419 lie.

Do you know that in South Africa townships are some of the biggest tourist attractions?.Have you been to Soweto?tell me the level of poverty there,the biggest shoping mall in Africa is in Soweto,the biggest Stadium in Africa is in Soweto,the biggest Hospital in Africa and Southern hermisphere is in Soweto.You knows nothing omo!shine your eyes.

And beside listening to a group of Nigerians talking about developments is funny,its a joke,cause they don't know what a development mean.Your five year old kids sell water in the streets for survival and you're here talking about poverty in South Africa.

You have accepted failure in your country,but you're all quick to point out few things that are not working out in someones country.You talk about crime in Southy,I can easily give you a police and independent crime stats any time anyday,that is how developed we are.I could do the same with AIDS/HIV stats.But can you do the same in your country?Since there are no reliable and independent stats what make you think crime in south is high,what make you think AIDS infections in Nigeria is low?You see you know nothing my omo.Southy is no match for Naija.

Caster Semenya cleared to compete as a woman - IAAF

■Here’s what Caster told her father this morning



Controversial athlete Caster Semenya has been cleared to compete as a woman - after nearly a year of speculation over her gender.


This was confirmed today by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF).

The IAAF has given the 19-year-old South African 800m world champion the green light to run again after reviewing the results of gender-verification tests.

"The process initiated in 2009 in the case of Caster Semenya has now been completed," the IAAF said in a statement.

"The IAAF accepts the conclusion of a panel of medical experts that she can compete with immediate effect."
The IAAF added: "The medical details of the case remain confidential and the IAAF will make no further comment on the matter."
Semenya has not run since leaked test results said she was a hermaphrodite following her win at the world championships in Berlin in August.

The incident sparked anger from the South African public and government, who have rallied behind the athlete.

I am happy that the world saw the real South Africa and her people,we are not animals that we waiting to pounce and kill anyone in their path,we are not all infected,sick and dying of AIDS.Blcks are not all poor,uneducated,lazy,slaves and houseboys for the whitesmen.People realised that we are a modern,well runned,well planned,well skilled country.People also realised that South Africans are not xenophobic,we love our Africanese,not only blacks but even white South Africans.

World cup 2010 have crushed many perceptions and some stereotypings,it gave us a chance to let people know the real us.We had nothing to prove but being ourself.

I am a proudly South African and African!

Greatnews for democracy.Africa must learn from South Africa in how to run the country and how to deal with corrupt leaders.

I think the President took a wrong decision,the best way to have handled this issue was to stop financing the football federation and demand changes.
It is only in Africa where a goverment single handedly finance and run the football federations.
And people forget that football is just a sport,there are other important issues that the goverment could focus on that could improve millions of peoples lives.

I think Goodluck is not playing the ball but the man,and should be red carded.

At last Nigerians have something to laugh and be proud about Congratulation!!! You won Hurray!!!

I don't think there is a problem with Ghananians attittude as far as I'm concerned,Ghana must go and represent her country with pride and honour as Africans we will rejoice and celebrate with her,we will be celebrating her success and it will be the fruit of her investments and hardwork.

So please people stop shinning on Ghana's shine.Ghana is doing well for herself,and we should be happy for her and learn from her.

I am glad that you where one of the few people who have seen the real South Africa.A naturaly beautiful country with top infrustructures,friendly and hardworking people.Yes there is a crime,HIV and poverty but it is not worse than any other developing countries.

At poster I hope you come again soon.

Ghana still representing Africa .
I watched the game in Soweto,and its amaizing how proud and supportive the Sowetans where to Ghana,I find it even funny that when Ghana's national anthem was sang people stood up and started to sing Nkosi Singelele i Africa(God bless Africa) without the english and afrikaans part of the South African anthem.And they keep on saying Africa will win this match,refering to Ghana as Africa.
When goals where scored people went crazy.It was some experience.

June 28th, 2010 in News, Sports
0 viewsAPA-Johannesburg (South Africa) Former President Thabo Mbeki of South Africa on Monday congratulated Ghana’s Black Stars football team for advancing to the quarterfinals of the 2010 FIFA World Cup here.

Speaking to the SABC, the former president called on the Black Stars to consider changing their name to “Africa’s Black Stars.”

Mbeki leaves for Addis Ababa on Thursday but said he return to the country in time to attend the closing ceremony on 11 July at SOccer City Stadium in Soweto.



But he was quick to point out that he was proud of Ghana’s performance in the World Cup.

Mbeki took time off to talk to Ghanaian soccer officials after the team made it through to the second round, saying Ghana’s victory sent a positive statement about Africa’s ability to perform at the world stage.

He said Ghana’s victory demonstrated Africa’s ability to perform well. He wished Ghana to proceed to the semifinals and hoped the whole continent, not only South Africans, would support the team.

Ghana will play against Uruguay on Friday as all eyes will be on the African Black Stars as they battle it out to book a place in the semifinals

[s]well we haven't heard stories of xenophoobia YET[/s]



So far it's been good, aside from the vuvuzela, the fans have been greattttt

Vuvu stays, you can't beat them then just join them Muki
Xenophobia,racism or tribalism is everywhere we can't run from that reality,but I am happy that we are finding solutions.

Except for the Nigerian guy caught stealing some tickets

But that does not have effect on the hosting or does it?

@Iyenda more positives than negatives I guess it means positive

Time will catch up with them,being racist is expensive,it is diffult to maintain that life style,especially when you are a white racist in Africa.Ask the old South African apaartheid goverment,they tried but run out cash and just like Terreblanche they will end up being killed by their workers,who are black.

I know that in life you're often not praised when you do something good,or as they say good news don't sell.But I want to hear from you guys what do you think of the organisation, of this world cup and what impression do you have,good or bad.

Congratulation Ghana,Africas Pride!

Ghana has come thru for us,they're getting my outmost support.I even see them going all the way.

Go Ghana go! African pride. I am happy that I named one of my sons Kwame! Great nation indeed

I thought it was six against the world,but I see people here are more concern about France than their 'brothers'
Africa Unite,now South Africa later the Eagles.Go Africa Go
!

MandingoII:
NOT GOING TO HAPPEN

France is out to beat RSA DOWN!!!!

It look like we are frying them,we leading 2-0.
Dingo please support

Nigerians with all their big mouths,I still support them and hope they go thru the second round.Goodluck,although I knew that you'll all come here and boast about your 'giant of africa' status
Fly eagle fly.

I am busy trying to cook some French fries,I hope we win this one and leave the tournament with a bang,and concentrate on hosting our visitors

Did you know? that Mark Gonzalez the scorer of the only goal against the swiss was born in Durban South Africa,and was named after Mark Tovey who is one of the legends in South Africa,Gonzalez senior used to play for Durban United in the eighties.

Aloy+Emeka:
There were reports of strikes by security men at the stadium for non payment of salaries yesterday and riot police were stationed everywhere to stop the angry workers who were shouting exploitation on CNN and threatening to disrupt the world cup if they are not paid. Why now? You guys shouldn't kill this image for Africa over little thing. Every world cup goes fine and when it comes to our own, its riots and strikes and kidnappings. Please, ejoor, biko South Africans, I beg you in the name of God, the image of Africans are hanging on this world cup balance. Help your government make it successful.

In a democratic country workers are entitled to strike if they feel that their rights are trumbled upon,don't know if you're familiar with the concept of a democracy.And regarding the image of Africa,I am sure right now people know that South Africa is very developed  compared to the rest of Africa,and  that Cabinda is not in South Africa and it is thousand miles away.

Aloy+Emeka:
Why do the pitch peel during games. Are they poor quality pitches or because they are relatively new?. A lot of bloggers are complaining about the peeling grasses in South African pitches. It's kinda nasty and look like they are playing on top of sawdust. This is the first time I am seeing a thing like this. Even the last junior WC played in Nigeria, I didn't notice any peeling pitches.

Now I know that you're attention seeker,and I'm happy to tell you that you came to the right place.We will give you all the attention you need.Let us know if youre satisfied
It is  winter in South Africa,normaly everything die,or loose their colour during this period,but I am happy that for this world cup we've planted a all season grass and so far it is holding on perfectly.Maybe as an Africa yourself esteem is soo low that you want to please whites soo much so that you joined them on their miserable racist crusade of questioning everything an African do.
You played under 17 world cup in four stadiums,we are using ten in the world class cities,where not only stadiums are world class but the surrounding infrastructures are of good quality.In Africa South Africa is in its own league,if you've been  in South Africa don't think the rest of Africa is half what South Africa is.

Which Flags? Vuvusela didn't work for us Muki ,maybe I should have stuck to to clapping hands and sreaming

African teams are a big dissapointment,Nigeria lost two in a row,Ghana are too confident and they'll be beaten by Australia,Algeria what can i say about them?.Cameroun have dikhead of a coach,Ivory Coast are like Nadertherlands,big reputation but nothing to show for it,or maybe it is the colour Orange.South Africa was never in there.

Things are going back to normal,I consider it the 10th province of South Africa.I have been going there twice a year for the last 4 years and things have dramatically changed.Food is cheap compare to SA(don't know why since all their food comes from SA),their meat is the best .
I don't know who is responsible but I happy for the changes.
