đź’¨ Abstract
EFF leader Julius Malema has urged South Africans to boycott the FIFA World Cup, particularly games in the U.S., citing safety concerns due to the country's immigration policies and political climate. He also called for Bafana Bafana to withdraw from the tournament. Meanwhile, Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture, Gayton McKenzie, encouraged fans to attend, dismissing security concerns and expressing confidence in South Africa's chances of winning the World Cup.
