My 🧵 on the immigrant South African identity, as my lived reality:

I think it’s important for us to have this conversation. The below is applicable in many cases. It’s true. Many people chicken out. But this also oversimplifies reality, in many cases, incl mine. I think of my National identity like I do my language skill: Until 19 I couldn’t speak English properly, now I use it every day of my life
Could I imagine a life where I mostly speak Afrikaans again, in future?
Yes
Do I want to do so now?No
Do I know for a fact that I will?No

The 2021 @LionsSeries
A THREAD:

Many consider this Lions tour to have been weakened by the circumstances. Less impressive, not as meaningful. A hollow spectacle. One that tarnished the image of the sport, even. Tell this to a South African generation who already lost out on 15 opportunities to play for the Springboks. If the average Springbok gets about 30 caps, that’s half a test career worth of tests cancelled. Tell them.
