Moegoe CAF competition violence
The CAF competition violence – Sundowns vs Esperance, Stellenbosch vs Zamalek – isn’t just hooliganism; it’s a reflection of a deeper, uglier truth.
North African fan bases, particularly Tunisia, Egypt and Morocco, have long weaponised racial disdain under the guise of rivalry.
Their conduct – pelting players with debris, hurling slurs and storming pitches –isn’t passion. It’s a colonial hangover; a belief that their teams (and by extension, their identities) are inherently superior to sub-Saharan opponents.
Football cannot thrive while bigotry festers.
Until CAF confronts this head-on, African football remains a fractured arena – not a united continent’s pride.
