Side Entry: It wasn’t long ago that Kolisi and Mtawarira were branded as sell-outs on social media this year. This World Cup victory shows just how fickle we can be, writes simxabanisa

It seems like everyone has forgotten, now that they are world champions , but it wasn’t long ago that both were branded as sell-outs on social media this year.

Black Twitter labelled Kolisi weak, possessing zero political acumen, an Uncle Tom and a sell-out for pointing out something so obvious, which is that quotas – to quote the kids – never loved black people. When they got married, there were a lot of angry white people, mostly middle-aged men, who objected. Now that they are married, young black women seem to take umbrage at “yet another successful” black man marrying a white woman, when poor Rachel was there as far back as when Siya was a broke teenager just out of initiation school.

ANALYSIS: Time is not on South Africa’s sideDespite being indecisive, directionless and rudderless, South Africa has so far managed to somehow avoid the critical juncture that dooms or saves the nation. That point is now hurtling towards us – and only swift action will stave off disaster. What is more worrying is that the required corrective action is known. So “drift” is not a fair reflection of the situation, it is actually willful refusal to take it.

What's in City Press Voices: Boks win: Unity or farce?; Time for the DA to end this hypocrisy; The ugly side of politicsIf I smile at u, then u say it's fake , they won't be unity , u don't want unity at all Whatever, majority of us South Africans are happy with Boks win and if we are united temporarily so be it. Reconciliation project is not a decade thing or whatever. America is more than 50 years in it but they are not fully there. We must racists whether they are black or white Books win is not unity at all. It's a great performance from a diverse group of player/countrymen. It has nothing to do with the day-to-day South African issues and realities. We salute and appreciate this crop of players.
