BaGhana BaGhana

Seriously?

Ghana played with heart and passion and made it to the Quarter-Finals of the Soccer World Cup,and some idiot   journalist decided to taint the glow of their achievement by coining the phrase BaGhana BaGhana.

Yes we should be extremely proud of what Ghana has achieved
Yes we should stand behind the sole African country still in contention in the World Cup.
But seriously people, can we not be proud of them and let them have their moment without trying to attach Bafana's dismal legacy to The Black Stars?

We're proud of our team and we wish they had gone further than the first round, but they didn't and we'll live with that.
This is Ghana's moment.
Bafana had theirs.

Go Ghana!
Go The Black Stars!

  1. Absolutely agree. I think it's pretty shameful that so many Saffans are using this almost as if Bafana Bafana had something to do with Ghana's success. I find it quite insulting.

    I love that they are so proudly supporting Ghana but it's just a little to patronizing.

  2. They played well.
    Really really well.
    I've never seen so much emotion after a soccer match.
    Now if only we can translate all that passion into our own Ubuntu, this would be Utopia :)
