Hoo-hoo

This is a story about Billy Joe and Bobbie Sue

Two young lovers with nothin’ better to do

Than sit around the house, get high, and watch the tube

And here is what happened when they decided to cut loose

They headed down to, ooh, old El Paso

That’s where they ran into a great big hassle

Billy Joe shot a man while robbing his castle

Bobbie Sue took the money and run

Hoo-hoo-hoo, go on, take the money and run

Go on, take the money and run Hoo-hoo-hoo, go on, take the money and run

Go on, take the money and run Hoo-hoo-hoo, Billy Mack is a detective down in Texas

You know he knows just exactly what the facts is

He ain’t gonna let those two escape justice

He makes his livin’ off of the people’s taxes

Bobbie Sue, whoa, whoa, she slipped away

Billy Joe caught up to her the very next day

They got the money, hey, you know they got away

They headed down south and they’re still running today

Singin’ go on take the money and run

Go on, take the money and run Hoo-hoo-hoo, go on, take the money and run

Oh lord, go on, take the money and run

Hoo-hoo-hoo

Hey, yeah, go on, take the money and run, yeah (yeah)

Hoo-hoo-hoo, go on, take the money and run

Oh lord, go on, take the money and run, yeah (yeah)

Hoo-hoo-hoo, go on, take the money and run, oh Lord

Gazi it is another lovely Saturday for a date with the elusive Shwashwaza team. Asisabambe­ki as we continue with a countdown to the festive season.

It is unbelievab­le that Christmas is in 50 days’ time.

It has been a long and crazy year considerin­g the price hike and political instabilit­y. Sit back and relax, as we bring you another dose of hot sport gossip.

Before you get confused Gazi singena with a 1976 classic from Steve Miller Band’s Fly Like an Eagle album titled, ‘Take the money and run’. Yes, we are that old Gazi but still hit dance floors to rub shoulders with the 2000s. Hehehehe... Siyiwishiw­ishi, so we’re unpredicta­ble like that. The title of the song Gazi reminded us of a very unfortunat­e incident that befell visiting football officials, who were in the country for an internatio­nal assignment.

The officials, we were told, were fully loaded with foreign currency, sisho US Dollar hhayi lomdlalo wase Zimbabwe. Like it is the case with most internatio­nal assignment­s, there are always members of the ‘welcoming committee’ who are always ready to entertain visiting players and officials in football as well.

On this particular day, the officials and little nyoninyoni­s partied hard and as expected the last stop was at the officials’ hotel rooms.

The ladies, we were told left the following day. It was after they had left that the officials made a shocking discovery. All their Dollars were gone.

The sad part was that the officials had failed to exchange numbers with their ‘guests’ and were not only left with empty pockets but eggs splashed across their faces. The difficult part was reporting to their superiors, who needed an explanatio­n before bailing them out. We are still following the matter with keen interest and we will leave no stone unturned to connect more dots, as the matter continues to be discussed in hushed tones. Phew. Yabona unzima lomthwalo kuta bafana be-mapiano the little nyoninyoni­s banje. Hhayi no sitayicela ivutsiwe.

“The country needs a new stadium. We’ve said this countless times. It is no use to keep talking about it without taking action. We’re exploring options for a partner to build the stadium on our behalf and be given naming rights. We can pay the partner in instalment­s but that cannot be done at ministry level, as it needs approval from the central government,” Minister of Sports, Culture and Youth Affairs Harries ‘Madze’ Bulunga told Members of Parliament (MPs) during the debate of the ministry’s second quarter performanc­e report.

“I believe that VAR can help us in such games because they did not deserve that goal. I’m not happy with the result but I give credit to my players for a good effort,” said Royal Leopard Coach Edwin Matsebula after his troops conceded a questionab­le goal in the 2-all draw against visiting Mali’s Bamako in the CAF Confederat­ion Cup.
