PSL capture is white monopoly capital in action

-

JOSE Ferreira let loose a tirade upon Bidvest Wits winning their first-ever title. His verbal bombs were directed at Pitso Mosimane, the verbose coach of Mamelodi Sundowns, the defending champions Wits deposed. “This is a victory of humility over arrogance, of respect over disrespect. People must respect us.“Wits were touched on their studio when Mosimane likened their style of play to that of rigid Stoke City. Tsamaya says no way Jose, you’ve got it wrong. This was a victory of Wits boss Brian Joffe’s white monopoly capital over Sundowns billionair­e supremo Patrice Motsepe’s BEE capital. Seemingly, you can't keep White Monopoly Capital from any sphere of South African society.

DAINE Klate has to be the next best thing since sliced bread. Since he made his profession­al debut in the 2004/05 season, he's won as many league titles as an individual (six) as Orlando Pirates (two) and Kaizer Chiefs (four) have won in the same time. The former, who are in danger of finishing outside of the top eight for the first time in the PSL era, would seemingly give an arm and a leg for Klate’s sangoma. After all, Klate was part of Pirates’ double treble winning sides. You know what they say of not knowing what you have until it’s gone. POOR Carol Tshabalala’s cheeks must have needed a massage after being besieged by an avalanche of smooches amid Wits’ celebratio­ns of PSL capture on Wednesday night. First it was Big Daddy Joffe who showed his joy at his maiden title triumph by placing a wet one on blushing Carol. Then Jose joined when it was his turn for the post-match interview. All that was missing was George Benson’s Kisses in the Moonlight as the background score of the cheeky kissing games.

WHILE Tsamaya was busy shooting the breeze, a missive from the Safa clowns dropped in the mailbox. Members of the media are invited to the announceme­nt of the Bafana Bafana squad to face Nigeria in the opening match of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. This will be newly appointed Bafana Bafana head coach Stuart Baxter’s first squad announceme­nt. Tsamaya mused whether to bring along wheelchair­s and walking sticks, what with Baxter’s penchant for long in the tooth players approachin­g pension age!

FORMER Tsamaya chief sleuth-hound Kgomotso Mokoena was spotted poking the streets of London with his match-stick legs in a morning jog. The run around Kensington Palace left P.I. Tso’s tank so empty he could not wait to replenish his body with some nourishmen­t. He headed for Nando’s and ordered a quarter chicken meal. He got a shock of his life when instead of the potato wedges he ordered, he was greeted by the sight of sweet-potato wedges. Yellow ones at that. Yuck! “I only eat sweet potato made by my mother, not this yellow thing. Let’s go Tso,“bellowed BBK.
