South Africans mock potholes at Nairobi’s JKIA
By the AFREEQUE newsroom, based on Tuko
A video of the Bafana Bafana, South Africa’s national team, arriving at Nairobi’s JKIA has prompted mockery from South African internet users over the damaged tarmac. According to Tuko, the users doubt Kenya’s ability to host AFCON 2027, ahead of the return match against the Harambee Stars, Kenya’s national team, on Tuesday 17 November at Nyayo Stadium.
South African internet users mocked the condition of Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport runway after a video showing South Africa’s players arriving on Saturday was circulated. The comments notably questioned Kenya’s ability to host AFCON 2027, according to Tuko.
The reactions focused on visible cracks on the tarmac rather than the arrival of the Bafana Bafana. Several South African users compared the condition of Kenyan infrastructure with that of their own country, while some Kenyan internet users also acknowledged the visible defects in the video, reports Tuko.
The footage circulated after the AFCON 2027 qualifying match between South Africa and Kenya, which ended 2-2 on Friday 13 November in Johannesburg. The return match is scheduled for Tuesday 17 November at Nyayo Stadium in Nairobi. The criticism comes as Kenya prepares to host AFCON 2027 and renovations at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport remain a subject of debate, according to Tuko.
