It is unbelievab­le that Bloemfonte­in Celtic are up there now, with games in hand and they’re led by Steve Khompela! Well done so far, Steve. You’re proving us wrong at Celtic. Rudi

The Sharks rugby team winning the Currie Cup final, Barcelona thrashing Real Madrid in the El

Clasico, and Orlando Pirates emerging victorious in the thrilling Soweto derby. What a fantastic sporting weekend it has been. Modiri Moroka

Saturday’s derby proved all the doubters wrong. It was both exciting and tactical and congratula­tions to Pirates. Lulama Mofolo

Your rotation system caught up with you, Mr Coach and except For Khama, do you know your other players? Rhulani was right Bheki Sibeko

Unexpected­ly, there was a case of “one moment in time” regarding the Chiefs/Pirates derby on Saturday with some dashes of “spills and thrills” and “oohs and aahs” when Pirates ultimately emerged victorious. Modiri Moroka Pirates outsmarted Chiefs in the thrilling derby. Everything worked well for Bucs. Their derby debutants were impressive. When are Chiefs going to change things by beating Pirates?

Two goals, three points. What character and determinat­ion Pirates displayed, after trailing by a goal to nil, and missing a penalty. Up the Bucs. Frank Pienaar The Soweto Derby has passed and Amakhosi need consistenc­y from the backline and midfield. There is no balance between the two and they break easily to concede silly goals that cost them dearly. Vusi Monyebodi

At least both PSL giants did not play defensive football, as was the case in recent derby games. It was a real humdinger of a match. Bafana Siyabonga Mpontshane fumbled for Chiefs’ goal and he is not so reliable, but he is far better and should be Khuzwayo’s understudy, not Wayne or Jackson. Zeele

I wish Bantwana (SA U-17) all the best as they left these shores for Uruguay to prepare their World Cup quest, starting on November 13. Keep our flag flying high, Bantwana! Buti It is a fact that Orlando Pirates outsmarted my Kaizer Chiefs in every department in the derby. Congratula­tions, Amabhakani­ya. Till we meet again. Khosi, I remain. Godfrey

Crowd-pulling players like Jabu Mahlangu and Steve Lekoelea are a dying breed, as was evidenced this past Saturday. The game did not live up to expectatio­ns. SR
