It's okay UK, here in SA we are used to this.

Disgusting people, you will never see behavior like this in SA.

Wtf aren't they in school like the other kids?

Football tour of the UK. One of the stops was OT for the match.

Just because because Benni is there doesn't mean all the masses can descend on Old Trafford.

Bullschit. They should be in school. Not gallivanting off to watch grown men kick a ball around.

Pretty common occurrence at football matches in the UK when you go to an away match on a supporters bus. I've been on a few that have had windows smashed in.

I'm not. I've never experienced it, nor know anyone who did. Only ever read about it

All I saw was some samaritans throwing bottles of water at african kids. They knew africa has no water & food. And this is the thanks they get.

smh.

He must not include us in his. The post should have read "This is common where I live, and maybe in KZN ( ). I'm used to it".

Yet take those "hardcore" football fans and drop them into Durban central. Wouldn't last 10 minutes without crying for help and wetting themselves. South Africa is not for pansies.

The places I used to travel to work and back everyday, trains, walking through Warwick Junction, right down along Anton Lembede. Then back again every day. These "hard men" would **** themselves. But we Saffers do this every day without blinking.

Edit: There gangsters are everywhere right there in Town, all around you. Hard assed mofo's and itching for a robbery. You see all the school kids walking around after coming off of the trains. Some small kids like 8 years old walking through this. No fear. It's what we do on this tough continent.

Bullschit

Back to school for you!

Agreed. We have moved beyond this sort of behaviour.

The UK are decades behind us and falling further behind each day.

At this rate they won't evolve to the "burning tyres in the street" level of development we're living through for at least another 50 years.

Well, you haven't experienced it nor know anyone who did in the UK either. You only read about it.

This was mild. The bus got pelted with water bottles etc. In SA it would have been torched. Nothing those SA kids couldn't handle.

Unlike the gentleman I was responding to, I did not make a general statement about this being common in South Africa. It's not.
