To
all those that always disagree when we say Orlando Pirates when playing in the CAF
Champions League are representing South Africa its either they get emotional
about the issue or they just hate the fact it’s Orlando Pirates.
Reasons
why we say Orlando Pirates is representing South Africa:
1.
By reaching the semifinal, Orlando Pirates has got enough points for the Premier
Soccer League to be represented by 2 teams starting from the 2015 CAF Champions
League season.
2.Orlando
Pirates has brought back a bit of South African soccer pride by going this far
and destroying some of the Giants of African football along the way e.g. TP
Mazembe (Congo), Al Ahly and Zamalek both (Egypt), and Zanaco (Zambia).
You
can deny it, be ignorant or whatever fact remains when Orlando Pirates just
like Kaizer Chiefs when they play in the CAF Champions League they are representing
South Africa and that's why you get ministers wish Pirates was Bafana Bafana I
mean who can blame them.
Tunisia
here we come!
