LOVE is in the air for Mzansi soccer fans . . .
It appears the habit of couples kissing whenever the cameras at matches found them in the cheering crowds is contagious!
And now the kiss-kiss trend has become so popular that even opposing teams’ fans and total strangers are seen locking lips!
The trend has been growing at Mzansi stadiums over the past two weeks, and people say it’s all about celebrating the beautiful game and spreading love.
Social media was abuzz with circulating videos of soccer matches where kiss-kiss has been shown.
Some social media users gave it the thumbs-up.
- Mbekezeli Zulu wrote on Facebook: “The country needs this. Whoever came up with this idea needs to be applauded.”
- Elizabeth Mogolane seconded Mbekezeni. She wrote: “Maybe there will be less violence at stadiums.”
But not everyone was happy about the smooching that’s been going on at stadiums.
- Asso Kantu’s comment on Facebook read: “So . . . this finally confirms that Africans are sloppy kissers!”
- Sbeva Montra said: “I don’t know whether more people are going to go to the stadium with their partners or not?”
- Avela Mkhwanazi said: “South Africans can’t kiss to save their lives!”
Despite all the thumbs-up and dislikes, it appears Mzansi soccer fans will be kiss-kissing for some time to come.
Amakhosi supporter Menzi Mlangeni said there was nothing wrong with kissing at stadiums.
“It’s nice to see people kissing rather than fighting. It’s been done oversees and no one ever complained about it.
“But now, because it’s trending in Mzansi, people are starting politics.
“Let’s just all be happy and enjoy the beautiful game – and kiss well!” said Menzi.
