After
a very emotional weekend of football in Africa, especially in South Africa
where the entire nation was worried about the safety of the Pirates players, it
seems as if no further steps will be taken as to protect our players when
playing away from home and also to promote fair play in our African football.
I
would want to ask myself if what our players went through in DRC was just a
DRAMA or TRAUMA, because if it is was a drama then we should all laugh about
it, but again if it was trauma then we should ALL stand up for it.
The
comments made by the Orlando Pirates chairman Dr Irvin Khoza really made me
wonder if he is really looking after the interest of his team or of his
friendship with these wicked bosses from other African teams.
"As
the owner of Orlando Pirates, the writing of a letter has no point. We had a
good reception and a nice hotel," Khoza was quoted on a TV show on Monday
night.
However,
the big question is DID THE PLAYERS HAVE A “NICE TIME” DURING THAT 90 MINUTES??
Let alone the journalists that were sent there to do their job.
Did
Moise Katumbi give the chairman a "BROWN ENVELOPE" to brainwash us
about what happened in DRC? I wouldn't be surprised, because money has proven
to be a priority to the Pirates' chairman. This has destroyed our football in
Africa.
Pirates
players have fought hard for their team and the entire nation and the least the
chairman could do is to fight for justice to prevail.
Lastly,
If the chairman don't get STUCK IN and then let him STAY AWAY during the
celebrations should Pirates get that second star.
