Buthelezi warns new SAFA bossFormer Bafana Bafana midfielder Linda Buthelezi has warned new SAFA president Kirsten Nematandani against being a 'puppet' in the position, like his predecessor Molefi Oliphant.
The outgoing SAFA boss was viewed by many in football circles as nothing more than a figurehead compared to the man he replaced, the late Stix Morewa.
Buthelezi told The Star: "My biggest fear is that he'll be just like Molefi Oliphant. He will be remote-controlled. He could be there just for window-dressing. He has to come up with immediate changes and not be just another puppet."
'Mercedes-Benz' , who was part of Bafana Bafana's winning African Cup of Nations wining squad in 1996, advised Nematandani to follow in the footsteps of Morewa.
"If you go to all the SAFA regions, you won't find ex-players there, yet we are crying about the lack of development. Nematandani needs to take the vision from the late Stix Morewa who always cared about the game's main stakeholders - the players.
"There has to be a role for us as ex-professionals to help fix our game," he said.

crazy horse is Linda Buthelezi, he got a chance in life and got paid for it and his time is up. What ever his giving back is a thank you to those who supported him and act as a role model. Who said if you ever played socccer you will be salaried for life, that sounds like a broke ex player. You made all the money that even very educated people will never make. You blew your savings away and now you are disguising as development. We thank you and many like you who give back to the community for all those tickets and taxi fares we paid to watch you play and sorry we do not pay pension fund. Where does this money suposed to be coming from. People like to make up things in their heads and think will fall for it. You did not call President Oliphant when you were making a fat check and now your streams are dead dry you have a nerve to call grown people mickey mouses. From "mercedesbenz" to "wheelbarrow".
Get the hell out of here crack head.
