Nigerian actor Charles Ndawurum has mocked South Africans following the elimination of the Bafana Bafana from the FIFA World Cup. Canada defeated South Africa 1-0 in the knockout stage, ending their tournament run.
Ndawurum's Mocking Video
In a video shared on Instagram, Ndawurum laughed at the South African team and told the players to "go home and take care of your jobs and women." The post has sparked reactions from fans, with many Nigerians expressing joy over South Africa's exit.
Background of Tensions
The mockery reflects ongoing tensions between Nigerians and South Africans, fueled by South Africa's recent anti-foreigner campaigns that have led to the deportation of over 400 Nigerians. According to reports, the strained relationship has been a point of contention between the two nations.
Ndawurum's comments highlight the lack of love lost between the countries, particularly in sports and social contexts. The video has been widely shared on social media, with some supporting his stance and others criticizing it as unsportsmanlike.
