We should import quality not quantity players

The truth is South African clubs should stop importing mediocrity players who add not value to the growing of football in this Country. Kingston Nkhatha can't even trap the ball neither can he pass well I don't even know how he became professional player and how he get to Chiefs is another question. SAFA must revise the method of importing players from our neighbouring countries. Roger de Sa (RDS) should be commended for the good work he is doing playing only local players. This is how football should be the less said about Pitso Mosimane and Mamelodi Sundowns the better.

The coach (Stuart Baxter) is killing him (Nkhatha)if he wants to build his confidence he should bench him and when Kaizer Chiefs is leading by 2 or more goals he can the play him see how he performs in that way he will be giving him a fair chance to prove his worth. It’s sad that other players are not getting the same chance that Nkhatha is getting and that's why fans are frustrated it’s like the coach is saying: "I will play him and there is nothing that you can do". It would be better if this was a player still developing.

Yeah we should look at facts rather than emotions, Orlando Pirates are at the final of the CAF Champions League using only South African players. Chiefs have failed to beat Pirates this season in an official game - Pirates still using the same local players. My point is we should import quality not quantity and we all know Collins Mbesuma when he played for Chiefs, Knowledge Musona on his first round at Chiefs, Kennedy Mweene at Free State Stars; the list is endless to those guys who got here and gave something to our football, so people must stop this xenophobic issue where it is not needed. We are South Africans, We are Africans and we are the citizens of this world but that does not take away the facts from us.

The same thing should happen to South African football clubs and again RDS thanks to him he is leading the pack like I said before. I will say nothing about Sundows as their coach is the same coach who was saying Premier Soccer League (PSL) should reduce the number of foreign players for Bafana Bafana to perform now that he is not there he is doing the opposite.
