@StefanMaree1 shared:

"And then The Jackal, Gayton McKenzie, wants to send 21 lucky fans? Thats equal to about R7 million? That is ridiculous."

@AmerikanerB said:

"The “lucky fans” will no doubt have questionable “kill the Boer” histories on social media. Visa to USA denied. I’m no football fan, but I think FIFA will be entertaining nonetheless."

@Slim_Sizzle reacted:

"Which is 6cents per taxpayer. R330K / 5.5MIL taxpayers = 0.06 Pretty negligible to me."

@AmerikanerB repled:

"I’d rather pay 6c toward feeding a child, but call me petty."

@Berni_0725 asked:

"I thought @GaytonMcK would not allow this over his dead body?!? What changed??? Why on earth are we paying for her now??"

@MaccabeesRising reacted:

"South Africa has never reached the knockout rounds in any FIFA World Cup. This will hopefully be a short trip."
