They tried
to separate her blue, red, white, green, yellow and black all individual
colours but through amazing selflessness she thrived and became one nation. One
caring, loving, filled with rhythm, braaing nation. She has conquered a lot and
still yet to change the world.
They can say
whatever they want about her but she will always know that she is a working
progress which has been a pillar to a few of its neighbours (yes you know yourselves)
that have had more years than her in action. Her name is South Africa and she
is very dear to my heart. She is not perfect I’ll tell you that, she comes with
a lot of baggage and scars but she is filled with all the gold, platinum and
diamond. You will abandon her from time to time for her crime rates and minor
racial segregation but the beauty about her and her people is that they know
that they have a long way to go and they are moving towards that.

Well most of
you might wonder why out of the blue this maniac who promised to talk about
varsity is suddenly a diplomat. While churning my ice cream I realised that it
is exactly 10 hours until our national football team plays Mozambique and I just want
them to remember this about their country and know that we are behind them even
though they embarrassed us with their penalty shoot outs against Mali during
the African Cup of Nations. Know that all is forgiven until you mess up again
(not saying that you will).
Go BAFANA
BAFANA!!!!
