Two weeks ago South African supporter Botha Msila set out to hitchhike from Cape Town to Cairo, Egypt to watch the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon).
Msila was determined to follow Bafana Bafana in Cairo, and after travelling from South Africa to Kenya his plans seemed to be in tatters at the border.
He faced unexpected Visa problems for entering Ethiopia, so after taking advice on his Twitter account, Msila decided to turn back to Nairobi.
This is where he was eventually helped by Be Sure Travel (who paid for his flight) and DIRCO, according to television presenter Robert Marawa on Twitter.
