Kodwa ngithe kuyena nawe awukaphumi (embangweni), umehluko ngamaphuzu amathathu kuphela. Ngakho nabo basekhona. Yimidlalo eyisishiyagalolunye esazodlalwa, maningi kakhulu amaphuzu asazodlalelwa.

Ngasohlanguthini lwethu ukuwina kuzonyusa ukuzethemba kuphinde kukhombise ukuthi singathanda ukuyiwina indebe. Kodwa ngeke ize kalula njengoba sicabanga, kusafanele silwe, siyijulukele.” UKomphela usebhekane nazo zonke izimo kwiChiefs kusukela eqale ukuyiqeqesha ngo-2015.

“Kunoma yimuphi umqeqeshi kwiChiefs akufanele kube ngaye kodwa ngokwenziwa eqenjini. Kunesikhathi lapho eGermany iBorussia Dortmund yayingenzi kahle khona kodwa yayibukwa abalandeli abaningi. Lokho kwenza kube nombuzo wokuthi wukudlala kahle kweqembu okwenza abalandeli beze enkundlen.
