Open letter to Fikile Mbalula

Dear Minister

I would firstly like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the interest and support you have given to Orlando Pirates on their quest for a second star.

We however I have a few questions we would like to ask you but because of airtime/ data bundles or rather lack of airtime/ data bundles we will only ask two questions.

1. Who was minister of sports and recreation last year when against all odds Black Leopards went all the way to the knockout stages of the CAF Confederation Cup? And were they also given the same support by the minister of sports and recreation of that time?

2. Minister it is a naked truth that you are a die-hard Orlando Pirates fan and I am sure you were there in 1996 when Bafana Bafana won the World Cup (NB: some of us are young and it was for the first time we heard of this great achievement from Andile Jali on Sportat10TV with Thomas Mlambo).

Minister some of us would like to know that as a Orlando Pirates fan had it been Mamelodi Sundowns or Kaizer Chiefs that were in the finals were we going to hear the same noise from you and were you going to go to such an extend of wearing their jersey like we have seen you yesterday in an Orlando Pirates jersey?

Yours in football
Themba Max - Thizo Nkosi
