 FIFA Investigates South Africa: Bafana Bafana Face Possible Two-Year Suspension Over Dudula Allegations By Noko Maleka | Insight Jozi News Johannesburg — South Africa’s national football team, Bafana Bafana, could face a devastating two-year suspension from international football following shocking allegations involving the controversial Dudula Movement and its leader, Zandile Dabula. According to reports, FIFA has launched an investigation after allegations surfaced that members of the Dudula Operation planned to demand identity documents from fans attending the upcoming South Africa vs Zimbabwe World Cup qualifier match. The alleged intention was to verify the nationality of supporters entering the stadium — a move that FIFA has condemned as discriminatory and politically motivated. FIFA maintains a strict policy that prohibits political interference in football. The world football governing body’s code is clear: no political, racial, or national discrimination shall be tolerat...

From Operation Dudula to Tribalism: The Dangerous Road We’re Paving for Ourselves By Noko Mabofa Maleka |Insight jozi news  The fear that keeps me awake at night is that after the so-called “success” of Operation Dudula, South Africa will be forced to confront an even uglier demon—tribalism. I am often condemned for my stance against Dudula. Yet, I cannot remain silent when I see a dangerous shift in our society, where some South Africans—particularly black South Africans—are beginning to negotiate in their minds that xenophobic attacks and hate speech against fellow Africans might somehow be justified. That thought alone chills me to the bone. It baffles me that those who share the same skin tone, the same history of struggle, and the same scars of oppression could support movements rooted in hatred and division. We know—better than anyone—the conditions that have driven our brothers and sisters from across the continent to our shores. These Africans have come not to steal o...

Open Letter to Operation Dudula: You Do Not Represent Me By Noko Mabofa Maleka | Insight Jozi News Dear Operation Dudula, Let me say this without fear or hesitation: you do not represent me. You do not represent millions of South Africans who still believe in humanity, African unity, and common sense. Your war is misdirected. You pour your energy and rage onto poor Africans — fellow Black brothers and sisters — who flee from their homelands not because they want to steal from us, but because they are running from hunger, civil wars, corrupt governments, and desperation . Illegal immigrants are not illegal humans. Let that sink in. Crossing borders in search of food, peace, and a better future is not a crime — it is a survival strategy. Illegal immigration is not a criminal activity; it is fear-driven. It is about poverty, trauma, and hope. Only ignorance and stupidity could make anyone believe that victimising the vulnerable is a solution to South Africa’s problems. We are...
