Singer Makhadzi is facing backlash for a grammatical error she made in her remark about the Bafana Bafana's game against the Super Eagles.
The South African soccer team lost in a penalty shoot-out in the AFCON semifinal, with the Nigerian players emerging as the winners of the match on Wednesday night.
While many South Africans expressed their pain and also applauded the Bafana boys for their good play, Makhadzi's comment triggered frustration among fans.
In her post, she said, "But they plaid shem. They fought."
This grammatical blunder did not sit well with her followers, who quickly took to social media to criticize her.
One user sarcastically commented, "You're also getting deported tomorrow," highlighting the mistake she made in using "plaid" instead of "played."
Another user sarcastically remarked, "It's not a must to post in English," suggesting that Makhadzi should stick to posting in her native language to avoid such errors.
Some fans went as far as attributing the team's loss to Makhadzi's grammatical error.
One user commented, "This is why we are missing penalties," implying that the blunder had affected the team's performance.
Others advised Makhadzi to focus on her music career and leave sports commentary to the experts.
One user said, "Focus on music sisi, this is not for you," expressing their disappointment in her comment.
