It takes an almost impossible level of audacity and resilience to build anything in South Africa, whether it’s a startup, a small business, or a social enterprise. Don’t stop. This country needs what you’re building.

I wonder if he had fun 😂

The FIFA hydration break is pure capitalism.

The game has never been more gone.

.about to run Startup Pitch Training during lunchtime with 30 founders, and it's yet another reminder that there's not shortage entrepreneurial talent in SA - only the risk appetite, b@lls, and knowledge to back them up with markets and growth capital. 💪🏿

And move your body. Walks are good, running is great, climbing mountains is best.

I actually can’t believe that happened 😔

If you jump ship at the first sign of disappointment, football probably isn’t for you. It’s been 16 years since South Africa last played at a World Cup. Maybe it takes a difficult game to remind us where we are, how far we’ve come, and what still needs to be done. We go again @BafanaBafana 🇿🇦🙌🏿

We can be better. We still believe 🙏🏿

I’m always understanding of a player having a bad game. But making the defensive error that leads to a goal and getting sent off? 😔

I LOVE YOU SOUTH AFRICA 🇿🇦 We will fix you. ❤️

Mbekezeli Mbokazi, who could make his World Cup debut for South Africa against Mexico in the opening fixture of the 2026 tournament, is the most popular Major League Soccer player you've never heard of. The 20-year-old is one of the brightest prospects in South African soccer, and when he moved from Orlando Pirates to Chicago, his fans followed. More than 572,000 accounts from South Africa follow the Fire, representing a quarter of the team’s social media audience. And mere months into his tenure in MLS, he has gone on to outpace Lionel Messi, Son Heung-min and the rest of the league’s players in fan voting for the summer’s All-Star Game. ✍️ @PaulTenorio READ FOR FREE: nyti.ms/4vzyvzm

The World Cup begins tomorrow, and many will watch the matches. Soccer reminds us of something we must not forget: life is not a race to show off on our own, but a path we learn to walk together. Anyone who does not know how to pass the ball, even if they have talent, has not yet understood the game. Anyone who does not know how to live with and for others has not yet understood life. #ApostolicJourney

Good luck @BafanaBafana 🇿🇦 ⚽️ One flag. One nation. One voice. One dream! We stand with South Africa. We stand tall. We stand together. #Amakhosi4Life #FIFAWorldCup #BafanaPride

How can you not love this country! 😭😭

We should go back to using Twitter as it was intended - you screaming into a void long enough for someone else to scream back. Eventually you find your tribe and start building a great community with people who care about the things you care about.

Good use of AI ❤️

Remember the scrutiny, doubt, and pessimism when South Africa hosted the World Cup? Now look at the chaos in the news for this year's tournament. It’s become so much clearer how the world uses a completely different scale to judge certain countries.

Bafana Bafana are going to surprise a lot of people at this World Cup. They’ve earned the right to be there, and they deserve all the love and support we can give them 🇿🇦❤️🙏🏿
