Joy for Mzansi, pain for Morocco as South Africa's young guns crowned kings of Africa – you tell us on social media what is exciting

South Africans woke up to the news yesterday that the country was continuing to shine on the sports stage after Amajita had won their first U20 Afcon title on Sunday. Deliriously happy and proud fans took to X:

@RoryPetzerCHAMPIONS! What a beautiful morning to wake up as a SOUTH AFRICAN! Congratulations AMAJITA!

@Hybreed_SA NO DNA, JUST RSA!!!

@khayakoko88 It’s taken 28 years, but we’re finally back where we belong... At the top Africa. Well done to coach Raymond Mdaka and his Amajita team. Champions.

@LedwabaRonald History has rewritten itself. The Lighting has struck twice at the same place. Thank you Amajita. We own Morocco.

@XoliswaZondo Every Amajita player will receive a cellphone from Honor when they land in South Africa on Tuesday The technical team will also be gifted! To the value of R230 000.00.

@ThabisoMosia Thank you, Mbazo, for also acknowledging assistant Coach Karabo Mogudi. The man has paid his dues. Our future is also bright when it comes to coaching....

@amakhosi4live PUT IT IN THE LOUVRE! We’re CHAMPIONS OF AFRICA!

@bakzy_sa I promise you nobody has frustrated Morocco like South Africa has recently. ■ 2022 – Banyana Banyana win Wafcon beating Morocco ■ 2024 – Bafana Bafana eliminates Morocco from Afcon ■ 2025 – Amajita wins the Afcon beating Morocco
