SA Tourism 1-0 Manchester City: Tottenham score, ‘Now tourists will be flocking to South Africa’

Premier League

Brighton

Manchester City

Tottenham

Arsenal

Harry Kane’s opening goal was celebrated…albeit with tongues in cheeks…in some quarters.“SA Tourism scores against ManCity,” joked @David Mogashoa. “It’s SA Tourism 1-0 City.”

SA Tourism take the lead

“SA Tourism should definitely make that Tottenham deal,” wrote @shude_zolile, who appears to have been convinced—based on Spurs’ performance—that the partnership might be a good one for South Africa.

Settle the deal

“South Africa’s team Tottenham,” wrote @MphoMoreki. “Doing the Lord’s work.“Bona, SA Tourism saw something in this team.”Maybe the SA Tourism board should consider a change of career!

South Africa backed the right horse?

Supporters believe that Lindiwe Sisulu, the Tourism Minister, will be enjoying Spurs’ performance against Pep Guardiola’s side.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">Lindiwe Sisulu watching Tottenham playing good football against City <a href="https://t.co/C2l1G53Z1Z">pic.twitter.com/C2l1G53Z1Z</a>— Lesilo Rula (@kay_mahapa) <a href="https://twitter.com/kay_mahapa/status/1622280083074334720?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 5, 2023</a></blockquote>

Laughter for Lindiwe

"Guys you see Lindiwe Sisulu was right," wrote @BennittoLindani. "Tottenham deserve our department of touring millions."Do you agree with this assessment?

Sisulu was right

Khumalo, the boss of South Africa’s Tourism Board, is another who, supporters reckon, will have enjoyed Tottenham’s showing.“Tottenham just scored and Themba Khumalo is on some: ‘I told them, these will bring tourists to SA’,” wrote @Themba_TT.

Themba will be enjoying this

Will Spurs’ performance change South Africa’s tourism rates?Kutlwano Masote certainly believes so…“Spurs making South Africa great,” they wrote. “Now tourists will be flocking to our shores.”

Spurs make South Africa great
