    The 'Booooers' are back

    It seems the 'Booooers' are back

    After Bafana Bafana lost 5-0 to Brazil, the president was booed by the crowd as he walked on the pitch to hand over the hosting of the next World Cup.


    And I don't think it had anything to do with the football loss.

    People express their disapproval through votes but this one will certainly paint a negative image for us as South Africans in the world

        imagine if this would happen in SOUTH AFRICA because our leaders are too sensitive?

          If they get used to it then one day they will do it to international figures like Obama and someone will regret for not addressing it while still manageable.

            But who says obama have no flaws?

            Maybe the booing will do him good

              Our image matters Kristi, everyone has her/his flaws, so would it mean in future international figures will hardly come to our nation because of booing, this is no adult behavior

                Since when, people have been booing others since kingdom come. Adult behaviour, are you joking, there is no better way for adults to show their disdain than booing...would you rather have them throw stones, march, chant and loot (I mean, that is the ADULT African way)

                  if our "political" image really mattered that much there would never have been corruption in the government...

                  ....there would never have been UNLAWFUL taxing of the people they rule over....it is all a joke...wake up!!!

                    he is implying the ADULT way is to SIT BACK AND JUST ACCEPT everything like the masses....

                    come to think of it I THINK it is a good way of not letting it disturb your peace....

                    so he might have a point there.

                      And here I thought Bob Marley was making a good point when he sang:

                      "Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!"

                      Ok, I get it, so you should just smoke up and let it all wash over you...because...uh...it'll all be fine when we get to the big weed patch in the sky! - because that is the ADULT way!

                        in case you have not noticed,

                        it is against the CONSTITUTION to stand up for your rights....
