‘National braai’: Mmusi Maimane jokes about SA roasting Nigeria
AFCON: Social media is positively buzzing with South Africa vs Nigeria content and politician Mmusi Maimane is loving it.
The day has finally arrived for South Africa’s national football team Bafana Bafana to face off against Nigeria’s Super Eagles in the African Cup of Nations (AFCON.) For weeks leading up to today, SA social media users dedicated copious amounts of time to trolling Nigerians. The West Africans, in turn, have done what they can to get back at SA who they are confident they will beat in tonight’s match.
This hasn’t stopped former Democratic Alliance leader Mmusi Maimane from poking fun at Nigeria’s Super Eagles.
According to the politician, SA will be “feasting on roast eagle” at what he is calling the “national braai.”
