South Africa goalkeeper Ronwen Williams urged fans across Africa to set aside politics and support Bafana Bafana in their key Group A World Cup match against Czechia on Thursday in Atlanta. After a 2-0 loss to Mexico exposed defensive issues, he denied criticizing other Africans for backing the hosts and stressed football’s power to bring people together amid South Africa’s anti-immigrant violence. Coach Hugo Broos dismissed online critics, vowing internal fixes, while reactions ranged from praise for the solidarity call to demands for direct condemnation of the unrest.
