Will Chiefs Benefit Again?

-
By Malose Wa Ga Lamola

 The narration of Kaizer Chiefs benefitting from referee blunders, has been one of the dominating lines all season long.

With the current campaign suspended due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus, will The Glamour Boys benefit should the season not resume? It is becoming an international trend to ask for leagues to declare teams at the top as champions, with Chiefs currently in the driving seat locally.

Can the PSL board of governors give Chiefs the 'big ears' with seven games to go? Declaring the season null and void will also hit many in the pockets. Supporters have spent their hard-earned pennies on tickets and taxi fares to stadiums. Sponsors have coughed out millions to keep the league running.

The only beneficiaries in this scenario will be Mamelodi Sundowns. Downs will retain the Absa Premiership title if the season is declared null and void.

With all these uncertainties at play, the only certain thing in life is death. We can be stronger together but against a formidable opponent like the Coronavirus, we need to be scattered.

Apart we will live. Stay at home. Alone Togeyher.

Baxter leads Bafana to the land of Pharaoh

By Malose Wa Ga Lamola After a performance that goes beyond industrious- Bafana Bafana- has qualified for the Afcon finals set to be staged in Egypt this winter. Congratulations on your commendable victory against Libya. Percy Tau has led the team from the front. Tau's brace was adequate for Stuart Baxter's men to claim a 2-1 victory over a stubborn Libyan side at Tunis. The Royale Union Saint Gilloise star player continues to be in a fine form- as he emerged through the pack to seal the deal for Bafana. Baxter has qualified for two Afcon finals in his two stints with Bafana. The Brit first qualified for the 2006 Afcon finals coincidentally held in Egypt. Baxter has now led Bafana to yet another Afcon finals. South Africa has celebrated the class of 1996 for too long- the current generation has to emulate their big brothets and conquer Africa again. With the type of football Bafana is ditching out- winning the Afcon won't be too much to ask for. Bafana is capable

Haraba: It Is Not Only About The Money

By Malose Wa Ga Lamola Hollywoodbets Super League has set up a theatre for women's football in South Africa. An action galore series, more of a horror film than a comedy flick. Though, football is less fictional than most of Hollywood films, but it offers the same dramatic content if not more. Heroes and villains, the building blocks of classic tales. Directing a television production bears some similarities to football management. Trying to coax the best out of role players. Coaches are more concerned with numbers on the log standings, so are directors' obsession with viewership.  A one team dominated league is often referred to as a farmer's league. The dominance of Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies in the Hollywoodbets Super League puts the women's league in category one of farmers' leagues. Royal AM Ladies mentor, Thato Haraba, argues the notion that Hollywoodbets Super League is a farmers league and is of a view that assumptions lack as much in t

By Malose Wa Ga Lamola Banyana Banyana celebrates Africa Women's Cup Of Nations victory after beating Morocco 2-1 in the final. Photo cred: Backpagepix Milpark Stadium remains a sacred space for South African women in football. Like an angel offering redemption to a sinner, in 1992, FIFA readmitted South Africa back into the international football fold. A year later Banyana Banyana was born. The real world finally intruded into South African women's football in the winter of 1993. A new era was opening. Banyana took on neighbours eSwatini, the then Swaziland. The main architects of South African women's football history. Former Banyana Banyana star midfielder, Anna Monate, took ShakingInk down memory lane as she reminisces on the historic day when she took to the field donning national team colours. Though, the stakes were real, and high. Playing football was an art they were learning to master. Monate laid bare the incidents of the 30th of May 1993. “For my
