Robert Marawa Celebrates Bafana Bafana’s Historic World Cup Win Against South Korea

Veteran sports broadcaster Robert Marawa has joined the celebration after Bafana Bafana secured an historic victory over South Korea at the ongoing 2026 FIFA World Cup on Thursday, June 25, 2026.

On-loan Mamelodi Sundowns forward Thapelo Maseko scored the only goal in Bafana Bafana's 1-0 win over South Korea at the Estadio Monterrey in the early hours of Thursday morning.

The crucial win saw the 1996 Africa Cup of Nations champions secure second place in Group A, finishing with four points from three matches to reach the FIFA World Cup knockout rounds for the first time.

South Africa’s reward is a high-profile Round of 32 clash against tournament co-hosts Canada, who also progressed as runners-up in their group after collecting four points from their three outings.

Hugo Broos deserves our apology as a Nation.

What a time to be a South African

Back to the drawing board: substituting Mofokeng allowed us to attack less and also brought Rayner's; for Maseko, it was a wasteful transition; he could have brought in Sebelebele instead. Otherwise, heads-up who's next.

So, this team is now the best ever Bafana Bafana team ...they made their own history, and they will be real legends! No legend should ever be superior to this team! #BafanaPride

Well done to our boys. We're very proud of them and what they've done so far. Hoping to go to the next round (last 16). It's doable
