Well Done!!!
Congrats was watching got so excited happy for all of us
Well done
Closing a door when the horse has bolted. The ANC is a joke once again. What "integrity of the ANC"" is Mbulala talking about?
The Gold medal and the Bronze medal were won by South African's and not by "Africa". The Olympic Games is a competition between individual countries, not continents.
Well done fellow South African, we are proud of you. ✝️
Congratulations to all the medal winners. South Africa is very proud of you, as well as those who may not have won a medal but participated in the Olympic Games, it's an incredible achievement.
We also have to congratulate the SA women's hockey team who won Argentina 2-1. Argentina is ranked 2nd in the world and SA is much lower.
Simply the best Tatiana 🎉 You make us all proud

Olympic Medalist 🎖🎉🥳
Congratulations Tatjana
Congratulations Mrs Smith
That pesky South African, white, minority are always such over achievers.
Making the rest of us look very average ….
I never see black South Africans win anything… Is it just me? Besides that lady who was banned for being a man, I can't think of anything…
Congratulations to all the medalists we are proud of you
