OneFootball x CIZA: South Africa can make an impact at this World Cup

OneFootball x CIZA: South Africa can make an impact at this World Cup As part of OneFootball's collaboration series with Shoot Music we're interviewing an artist about their love of football and, over the next few weeks, it will be all about the World Cup. This week it's Afrohouse DJ, producer, recording artist and South Africa fan, CIZA. How excited are you for the World Cup? I’m super excited for the World Cup. It’s going to be a special experience because it’ll be the first time I get to watch it live from the stands. During the last World Cup, I was at home watching on TV, so being there in person this time will be incredible. What’s your favourite World Cup memory as a fan? My favourite World Cup memory has to be Siphiwe Tshabalala’s opening goal for South Africa in the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The atmosphere, the celebration, and what that moment meant for the country made it unforgettable. How do you rate South Africa’s chances this year in what looks like an open group? I think South Africa has a good chance. It’s an open group, and if the team stays focused, works hard, and takes each game as it comes, they can definitely compete and make a strong impact. If South Africa are to go far this year, which one player do you think will be key to that success? Relebohile Mofokeng. He’s an incredibly talented young player, and I’m excited for the world to see what he can do on the World Cup stage. I believe he can play a huge role and be one of the key players for South Africa throughout the tournament. Who do you think will win the World Cup and why? Obviously, I’ll be rooting for my country, South Africa. But if I had to look beyond that, Brazil and Argentina are always among the favourites because of their quality, experience, and the incredible talent they consistently produce. They’re teams that know how to perform on the biggest stage. CIZA’s new single, 'Yivule', is out now.  You can follow him on Instagram here: @ciza.sa
