Referee Jelly Chavani could be facing suspension from PSL matches, as the SAFA refereeing review committee sit on the offside incident involving the game between Mamelodi Sundowns and Moroka Swallows.
I hope this is my last opinion piece on the senior men’s national team.
Once more, as expected, Bafana Bafana have been knocked out of the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers and the South African Football Association (Safa) is predictably looking for a new coach. It is rumoured that Benni McCarthy may take over. If the rumour is true, it will not be a wise decision for either McCarthy or AmaZulu Football Club.
The main activity of Safa since the days of champion coach Clive Barker has been the hiring and firing of coaches, not the winning of tournaments. This will continue to be the case until we do what is right: putting the interests of the youth and football first. There is no coach that will succeed with the current pool of players who hardly score goals in the Premier Soccer League (PSL). This simple fact is hidden in plain sight for all to see.
