The other day their officials were overhead complainin­g that other teams were stealing their juju men, as there was a club that outbid them to pay the special projects team more.

Dezember boss! We’re expectedly high spirited, as we’re entering inyanga enkulu kakhulu. Sisho inyanga yakhisimus­i when families get to consume a month’s grocery in one day. It is December to those who are moneyed. If you are broke, yi- Ngongoni. It has been a very long year and making it this far alone is a privilege following the political instabilit­y on top of a tough economic situation.

Y Ithe dance floor throughout the festive season.

It has been a very crazy week in our football space. The things witnessed in the past week make one feel ashamed to associate themselves with local football. Imagine watching a live game on television and after the match hooligans who claim to be fans chase after the referee in a bid to rearrange his face. This scenario was witnessed at Mavuso Sports Centre last Sunday after a match between Manzini Sea Birds and Mbabane Highlander­s. Referee Mbongeni Shongwe was saved by his Usain Bolt-inspired sprint. Referees do make mistakes, so the attack is not only a mockery to our football, but water down efforts that are being made to profession­alise the game. That is why we have what we call Video Assistant Referee (VAR).

Gazi sisabuke the Mavuso Sports Centre madness, then came another crazy moment this past Wednesday. The game between hosts Nsingizini Hotspurs and Tambuti had to be called off after the latter did not show up. Yes, it’s a Premier League not a fourth division fixture lekubo Mbabane League. Cry the beloveth Eswatini football. One commentato­r even suggested that at this rate, we should forget about football. No amount of explanatio­n can justify this ridiculous moment, so heads must roll.

Gazi the things happening in football make us hot under the collar. Before we get emotional, asivele sicondze endzabeni. Talking about inyanga ya- December reminded us of this story of this football ‘moon’, who is said to have passed on to leave his side in the wilderness. We’re tempted to think that the use of muti in our football is now a ‘policy’ thing based on what we’ve heard the other day. There is this team that is not having the best of results. The other day their officials were overhead complainin­g that other teams were stealing their juju men, as there was a club that outbid them to pay the special projects team more. Satsi sisabambe wangaphans­i, saphindze seva letinkhulu. “Inyanga yetfu ifile sebasimuka nalaba,” one of the officials was overheard saying. By now Gazi you know that on top of having spy cameras, you’ll find us everywhere you go kungasiyo inkampane yabo mahlalekhu­khwini. Gwagwagwag­wa. Phew. Unzima lomthwalo. Sitayicela ivutsiwe!
