Bafana Bafana fans who have been struggling to find a way to “fly the flag” after the team’s loss to Uruguay have been given 22 ways in which they can keep the flag proudly in the air.
Via BuaNews, Government has listed the various ways - some of them patriotic, some funny and the rest just common sense.
Government spokesperson Themba Maseko has urged the nation to continue to celebrate the soccer World Cup, which is a historic occasion, regardless of Bafana Bafana’s performance.
“South Africans are also known for their ability to laugh off seemingly depressing moments, which is why we encourage the nation to give unconditional support to the national football team, irrespective of their fate in the tournament,” Maseko said.
Here are 22 ways to fly the flag:
1. Be the best hosts the World Cup has ever seen
