The mass emigration of South African professionals to the UK and other countries abroad in the early 2000s has presented a welcome gift for local football

At the turn of the millennium, a large number of South Africans moved to the UK due to a shortage of professionals such as doctors, nurses and teachers in that country.With a generation of young footballers whose skills were developed in the junior ranks of clubs in the UK, a handful of players now have the opportunity to become future Bafana Bafana stars.

Leshabela made his eagerly awaited debut in the English elite league when he was brought on for the last 10 minutes of the Foxes’ 5-0 win over Sheffield United last Sunday. “It’s good for the country because they are naturalised South Africans. We are keeping an eye on these players, just like we keep tabs on talented players here at home,” said the Majimbos boss.The last South African player to feature in the English league was Tokelo Rantie in 2015, who played for Bournemouth. He left after a season.

its all down to assuming that they will struggle integrating in singing/clapping in a boys choir before a match. what does speaking local languages have to do with playing football. this are professionals, once they cross the white line, its all system go...

Those ones are just being hyped up while we've got our local-based Lantshene Phalanes and most of Richards Bay youngsters in favour of those good-for-nothing overseas-based prima donnas e.g. Lebo Mothiba,that tall striker who missed sitters etc

A lot of soccer players come inside South Africa through the refugee and migratory route, from the Continent. If France integrates them quickly and give them opportunities to play as Nationals, would South Africa be wrong if we adopt this policy? To shine our own brand of soccer
