According
to Chabangu: “Mbalula is old enough not to call his son like that, so he is
also ‘a bunch of a loser’ because he cannot say that to us. He is a loser too
and must call himself that too.”
Mbalula
expressed veracious condemnations towards Bafana unimpressive performance, but
I didn’t concur with his scathing attack directed towards specific player
Moeneeb Josephs. Mbalula used distasteful, unmindful, unprofessional,
disparaging and belittling language towards Bafana goalkeeper but now it is
unnecessary for Chabangu to attack the Minister by calling him a loser.
The
war of words won’t improve our regressing football but we need to start
planning ahead to revitalised our backsliding performance. We still have a lot
of work to do for Bafana to be a force to be reckoned with in the African
football. We need to initiate aggressive youth development programs at the
grassroots level.
We
need to revive the school football to produce quality youngsters for the
future. We need to start building distinctive style of play that will be
adopted by all national teams from Junior International level to senior level.
We need to start nurturing talent at teen age. We must produce more Benni
McCarthy, Delron Buckley, Quinton Fortune and Aaron Mokoena.
This
war of words will never bring any success but pain to the nation and am not
anticipating Mbalula to respond to Chabangu utterances. Let’s focus on
improving our football than using media platform to tear apart each other’s.
Together
we can do more to revitalised Bafana performance.
