The image included a custom “YNWA – WP” license plate, a clever nod to the club’s “You’ll Never Walk Alone” anthem and the Western Cape province. This playful artwork was part of a series of Mzansi-inspired content the club has recently shared on its TikTok channel, demonstrating a keen awareness of its global supporter base.

The post immediately went viral, drawing reactions from fans and local figures alike. Cape Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis joined the conversation, commenting enthusiastically, “LETS GO CAPE TOWN” on the post. The engagement highlighted how the club’s creative nod resonated on an official level.

Fans flooded the comments section with humorous and appreciative responses. One supporter, Mitch Matyana, suggested the social media admin might be South African, simply stating, “Come Home.” Another fan, Alex Michelsen, joked, “They Found Us,” expressing a light-hearted concern that the publicity might cause taxi fares to increase.

Broadcaster SuperSport Bet added to the fun by imagining a scenario where the Quantum was pulled over by police following Liverpool’s recent loss to Manchester United. This interaction showcased how the post became a versatile meme within the South African digital community.

The buzz extended to Twitter, where users shared GIFs, memes, and their own playful interpretations of the artwork. One user expressed initial confusion, tweeting, “That Liverpool x Quantum insta post had me thinking they doing a South African tour man 😭😩”. Another user connected the post to Bafana Bafana’s recent World Cup qualification, celebrating the “pure RSA” flavor Liverpool brought to the Premier League clash.

By incorporating a quintessential element of local life—the minibus taxi—the club fostered a deeper connection with its fans in Mzansi.
