Michael Blackson urges African nations to find peace and stick together after hate watch towards South Africa at World Cup (Video)

Ghanaian-American comedian/actor, Michael Blackson, has called for unity among African nations amid a wave of online mockery directed at South Africa following the country's disappointing start to its 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign. His remarks came after South Africa suffered a 2-0 defeat to Mexico in their opening match, a result that sparked widespread criticism and trolling across social media. The backlash comes against the backdrop of xenophobic attacks in South Africa that targeted migrants from several African countries, including Nigeria and Ghana, forcing many to flee and return to their home nations. Despite the tensions, Blackson urged Africans not to allow divisions to deepen, appealing for peace, solidarity, and mutual support among countries across the continent. Watch the video below..The post Michael Blackson urges African nations to find peace and stick together after hate watch towards South Africa at World Cup (Video) appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
