Part of the nature of South African football is to give players and coaches nicknames. Some have remained with footballers long past their retirement. Iconic ones include “16V”, given to Doctor Khumalo. You cannot help but include “Mercedes Benz” whenever you say Linda Buthelezi. John Moshoeu was called “Shoes” to the point that you’d even think it was on his birth certificate.How can you forget the “Midnight Express”, Helman Mkhalele and Patrick “Ace” Ntsoelengoe. Edward “Magents” Motale.
If you happened to spend a minute or two on the trend list on Twitter on Saturday evening, you might have come across the hashtag #RickFlair, and the immediate reaction was, ‘did he just pass away?’ Yours truly will be the first to admit that I thought the legendary World Wrestling Entertainment ex-pro had been reunited with his ancestors. I, and many on the Twitter streets, were wrong. Flair is alive and well.
So why was the 72-year-old retired wrestler trending? Well, that’s because his name made its way into South African football. Flair was trending because of the Bafana mentor and this was after the national team displayed a gallant performance at the Bahir Dar Stadium and beat Ethiopia 3-1 in the 2022 Fifa World Cup qualifiers to take the lead of Group G.
Wooo!! So Hugo Broos AKA Rick Flair the Nature Boy is our National Team coach. You gotta love Sauta Tweets and trends. ????????
