South African captain Ronwen Williams has urged Africans to rally behind South Africa during this tournament, stressing that politics should be left to politicians.
He revealed that the lack of support from across the continent has affected the team mentally, saying it is painful to go online and see fellow Africans rooting against them rather than standing in solidarity
.
Williams emphasized that Africa is one and called for greater unity, love, and support among Africans.
However, many are asking an important question: while calling for continental unity, has he also spoken out about the actions and attitudes within his own country that have contributed to the divisions he now hopes to bridge?
