Amakhosi will teach the Clever Boys that the beautiful game is not academic

WITS ARE the latest PSL leaders. We ought to say hooray to celebrate the academics who are merely technical in the football game.

Hey, this is not sour grapes but merely an acknowledgement that academics might have a vibe that we do not understand in football.

True I am a Kaizer Chiefs fan, not an Orlando Pirates’ choker.

Subtly speaking, Kaizer Chiefs are in the top 8 and Pirates are out of the top 8, say the stats.

Chiefs are in the top 8 with the likes of the academic Wits and the sulky Sundowns.

The big point here is that the loud-mouthed team from Orlando are not in our calibre. It is not me who decided that. It is the team by being sluggish and indolent on the soccer pitch! Between you and me, it is advisable not to be indolent when you are a serious football team!

The Sea Robbers do not know that. The team must be taught that a serious soccer side needs to at least occupy a log position in the top 8 of the country.

This is a strategic position that can allow you to play in the top 8 competition – something that can satisfy the supporters. But hey, oops, the Pirates supporter is not as sharp a thinker as a Kaizer Chiefs fan, who has an amazing thinking capability that is sometimes too much for football.

Another team which featured in Soweto’s history was Moroka Swallows. Sadly today, the only team in Soweto with any chance of glamour are the Phefeni boys. Fortunately, they are ready to carry this heavy load on their shoulders with ease. Eish!

A team that was supposed to help the Chiefs with this task was Orlando Pirates. But they do not recognise that. This enormous task was left to the Soweto glamour boys Kaizer Chiefs, alone.

The football title of this country is now carried by the shaky intellectuals from Wits.

I don’t like that! The reason is the placid attitude and tendency of the Pirates. I think it is disgusting, very disgusting.

The problem is the Pirates plus their supporters are arrogant and nasty. Even here in Cape Town their supporters behave as if they are untrained rogues. They lack the glories of Orlando. Magtig!

On the contrary, the grace of Chiefs’ supporters is enormous and beautiful in its plentiful state. It is graceful and charming. It is an amazing charm that surprises the hardest in Soweto and Africa. Let me predict that the next PSL champs will be the Chiefs.

Their tremendous humility and charm are going to help in this regard. Besides charm, it is also useful to say that they have skill. There was a time when the humble minds of the Phefeni glamour boys could serve Kaizer Chiefs, demolishing the crudeness of teams such as Chelsea in an easy combat.

I still want to challenge the arrogance of international teams to take on Kaizer Chiefs. I can predict their destruction. They will be annihilated, especially with the likes of national goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune. We will destroy any team. It is general knowledge that the Chiefs are South Africa’s best exhibition of charm and grace on the football pitch.

Okay, I am not a footballer myself but a poet. Imagine therefore my grace with the pen. It is amazing, at least I think so.

I also know that all the Kaizer Chiefs players and fans will see and recognise the elegance in the poetry in the same way they see the Chiefs play the beautiful game. I can also predict that many Mamelodi Sundowns’ supporters will join the Chiefs. Those who support that other team from Orlando will also resign from it to join the Amakhosi.

With our humility, we will accept them in warm hugs of love. Then we will teach them the sweet sciences of deep charm, the glories of the game as they never knew.

I know that the fans of Orlando Pirates are happy that it is not the Chiefs at the top of the log, but let me quickly point out that we are in the top 8 and they are not.

And we like it there. In other words we are better than them.

Moreover, we always told them that and they refused to listen to us. Ag shame.

Let me be fair and concede the academic qualifications of Wits but also caution that football is not academic. The game demands another genius in the feet of the player.

Football is as tender as a poem written in full moon. Between me and you, that’s a good poem! It is not pretending to be a good poem, it just is!
