Tsamaya This week’s soccer buzz

-

● Tsamaya still wonders how on earth someone allowed the talent of Percy Tau to be wasted in a club playing in the second division of Belgium. This week Tau showed why he must leave Royale Union Saint-Gilloise as soon as possible when he starred as his team beat Belgium giants Anderlecht 3-0 away from home in a cup tie on Thursday.

The sooner Brighton & Hove Albion manager Chris Hughton makes another plan for Tau, the better it will be for all concerned. Tau’s silky skills simply belong to a better league than that Mvela wa ko Belgium.

● Everybody knows that the Gqom and Maskandi music spins a lot of people’s heads in Durban, but pumping it to every soul landing in the banana city could be stretching it. This is exactly what the entertaine­rs at the MTN8 final at Moses Mabhida Stadium delivered yesterday, with maskandi artists like Khuzani running the show. A song or two of the other genres would surely keep everyone on their feet.

● In his praise of Cape Town City midfielder Teko Modise’s longevity in the game of football, SuperSport United defender Morgan Gould delivered a classic quote this week.

”And he’s – I don’t like wine‚ so I don’t know what wine tastes like – but Teko has matured like wine,” said Gould.

We suggest Gould meets Tsamaya for wine classes so that he will know exactly what Modise is developing into.
