Kyalami didn’t stand a chance with the problems we have as a country. We have to deal with them 1st.

Honestly I'm not surprised Kyalami isn't here. We can't even keep the lights on https://t.co/naMHQcBRmw

After seeing the 2023 F1 Calendar, I was gonna complain about Kyalami but I'm currently tweeting this in the dark, about to eat cold food💀💀
Imagine Lewis preparing to take on CPI-Tuned Red Bull and then boom, he has to use candles 😭😭.

people need to be realistic. there's no way kyalami would have been greenlighted judging by the current state of our infrastructure and understandably no investors wanted to take that chance.

Is this a joke? @Kyalami_Circuit why are we not on the F1 calendar for 2023? The fans deserve an explanation.
