Happy Throwback Thursday to everyone except Mr. Visagie.
Let me take you on a journey back in time…
The year was 2010, and South Africa was gearing up to host the Football World Cup, which would help unite the country for a few glorious months.
Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging (AWB) secretary-general André Visagie, however, wasn’t feeling the Ubuntu in the months leading up to the tournament.
During an appearance on Africa 360, a current affairs show on eNews, Visagie had something of a run-in with political commentator Lebohang Pheko.
Also in the mix was host Chris Maroleng, who then became involved in a back and forth that has become legendary in South Africa.
Fun drinking game – every time someone asks that somebody refrains from making physical contact with them whilst on set, have a sip.
We’ll see you on the other side:
Iconic.
This incident also received a number of remixes (as South Africans love to do), including the obvious MC Hammer connection:
As you would imagine, this exchange cracked that A to Z list of South African memes.
Rightly so.
