The South African media and fans were upset with the lack of representation from their continent at the 2019 awards
The social media post which got most South Africans talking was the video of Cameroon legend Samuel Eto'o at the Best Fifa Football Awards 2019.
The former Barcelona and Inter Milan star was asked who he thought was the best player of the year. Eto'o was clearly upset and made his point that both Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah were not in the running, and believing they were 'the best'.
You can watch the video below thanks to South African journalist Mazola Molefe who has called Eto'o the 'Goat' on Twitter.
