Minnie Dlamini’s Old Thierry Henry Tweet Resurfaces After Soweto Derby

South African television personality Minnie Dlamini has found herself trending again after an old tweet about French football legend Thierry Henry resurfaced following his appearance at the Soweto Derby.

What happened almost nine years ago has suddenly become a talking point, with social media users digging up Dlamini’s 2017 post and sharing their opinions about it.

Back in 2017, shortly after tying the knot with her then-husband, Quinton Jones, Dlamini took to X (formerly Twitter) to comment on Henry’s visit to Johannesburg.

The media personality jokingly described the football legend’s arrival as her “devastation”, a comment that has now resurfaced and attracted fresh attention.

At the time, it was just another social media post. However, Henry’s recent appearance at FNB Stadium has brought the old tweet back into the conversation.

As the post circulated online, South Africans were divided over Dlamini’s throwback comment.

Some users criticised her original tweet, while others felt people were making too much of something she posted nearly a decade ago.

Others defended the presenter, suggesting that the comment should be viewed in the context of the humour and social media culture at the time.

The discussion also highlighted how easily old celebrity posts can resurface and become trending topics years after they were originally shared.

Henry’s appearance at the Soweto Derby attracted attention from football supporters, with many excited to see an international football icon at one of South Africa’s biggest sporting events.

However, his visit also unexpectedly reopened a chapter from Dlamini’s social media history.

While Henry was the centre of attention at FNB Stadium, his Johannesburg appearance gave social media users a reason to revisit Minnie’s old tweet.

What was once a playful comment has now become another trending celebrity conversation, leaving South Africans debating whether the post deserves all the attention it is receiving.
