DSTV GLITCH
South Africans took to social media on Wednesday evening to lambast DStv for having a technical glitch during the Bafana and Nigeria penalties.
“We apologise for the break in transmission. Our technicians are working to resolve the issue,” read the error message.
@UTDEzra_ said: “DSTV stopped working during AFCON penalty shootouts!!? Bafana Bafana they have failed you.”
Gogo Maweni also trended after Bafana’s loss as one fan @Brian_8743 posted: “That muthi from Gogo Maweni today never worked.”
@OnwabeV20386 said: “If Bafana Bafana loses, we are blocking Gogo Maweni as a country.”

BAFANA BAFANA FANS REACT: ‘SABOTAGE’
@tshxgoww: “We come back to find out SA has missed a penalty mxa what kinda witchcraft is this?”
@NativeDiscourse: “If we didn’t see that Teboho Mokoena penalty miss because DStv stopped working, did he even kick it?
@cricinfo55: “It’s baffling when innovation fizzles during significant minutes like punishment shootouts! Ideally, the issue gets settled soon so everybody can appreciate watching the remainder of the match.”
@sheraaz_hassan: “Really? I was watching on SABC+. No matter how much money I have or make, refuse to support them.”
@_the_logical: “It’s not DStv, I think it’s where some part tap broadcast. I was streaming and also have difficulty on SA first penalty.”
@periper13927951: “Looks hacked lol l kept refreshing. They wasted our adrenaline rush smh.”
