Sihlangu’s ‘yellow bone’ tendencies
Zup my boots Goin’ back to my roots Yeah
To the place of my birth
Back down to earth.
I’ve been standing in the rain Drenched and soaked with pain Tired of short time benefits
And being exposed to the elements.
I’m homeward bound
Got my head turned around. Zippin’ up my boots
Goin’ back to my roots
Yeah
To the place of my birth
Back down to earth.
Ain’t talkin’ ‘bout no roots in the land
Talkin’ ‘bout the roots in the man. I feel my spirit gettin’ old
It’s time to recharge my soul
I’m zippin’ up my boots
Goin’ back to my roots
Yeah
To the place of my birth
Back down to earth.
Zippin’ up my boots
Goin’ back to my roots.
To the place of my birth
Back down to earth.
Gazi there is no need to crack your skull on why we have opted for this old classic by Odyssey titled ‘Going back to my roots’. Following the continued hike in commodity prices, going back to your roots or visiting your past seems to be the obvious option.

Awatching Sihlangu against Senegal on our 60-inch plasma screen ekasi, a friend likened the team to a yellow bone, saying they were disappointing when it mattered the most. Following an impressive showing in the group stages,
Sihlangu met Africa’s best in Senegal in the quarterfinals of the ongoing Hollywoodbets COSAFA Cup 2022 this past Wednesday. They stood their ground after a 1-all draw in regulation time before losing it on penalties again. Just when it looked like firing straight at the goalkeeper was the obvious option during the penalty shootout,
FTER
then came the disastrous moment when Mzwandile Mabelesa’s ball strayed to the stands.
Moments after the final whistle, one of the visibly disappointed Shwashwaza crew members, whose ears look like he would fly at any moment, was overheard grumbling and likening Sihlangu to a yellow bone.
“Eish … Sihlangu are like a yellow bone. Just when you prepare for the wedding, they terminate the relationship,” he bellowed. Gazi, we’ve also noted that Sihlangu have predominantly played with their white jersey in the COSAFA tournament and we feel there is nothing wrong as long as it is their lucky charm ... hehehehe.
