South African broadcaster Sizwe Dhlomo has sparked conversation on social media after reacting to a viral post showcasing an aerial view of Port Harcourt, Nigeria.

On Thursday, 23 July 2026, Dhlomo quoted an X post by user @Szymansk_ii, who had shared a photograph of Port Harcourt featuring an elevated highway cutting through the city. The post, shared on Wednesday, 22 July 2026, was captioned:

"This is not South Africa. This is Port Harcourt, Nigeria"

The wording suggested that the city could easily be mistaken for a South African city.

South Africans did not hold back, with many pointing out that the photo, rather than being impressive, drew comparisons to some of the country's smaller and less developed towns.

@BuntuNdesi joked:

"😂 Welkom must take up this fight"

@KrizzieT7 suggested the comparisons needed a rethink:

"I think it’s time they engage with North West province only at this rate, no need to waste energy la"

@marvistro zeroed in on the sky in the image:

"The air always seems hazy la…I'm yet to see blue skies, njalo kumthuqasi"

@nceba_p echoed that sentiment:

"That time we can tell at one glance, just by the colour of the sky."
