In my humble home language, IsiZulu, we say iqiniso liyababa (the truth hurts or tastes bitter or sour). And so it was for many South Africans after hearing what Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos had to say about the standard of our football on Tuesday.

Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos during his press conference at Safa House in Nasrec, Johannesburg on June 14 2022.. And so it was for many South Africans after hearing what Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos had to say about the standard of our football on Tuesday.

So I'm glad that a high-profile figure of Broos' stature has added his voice on where we are and what needs to happen in our football. Perhaps it can help shift the powers into realising the extent of the damage they have done and to begin thinking about how they can help rescue the situation. Greed and selfishness, like we see every day when its comes to our politicians, is part of the problem in SA football. That we have a mother body, the SA Football Association that doesn't work in sync with its special member, the Premier Soccer League , is a crucial element.

The non-existence of a viable relationship between Safa and PSL bosses means serious and honest talk on how our football can be improved never takes place. There's also an issue of who has the ultimate word and power between these two organisations — and that doesn't help when certain matters come to a head.

Racism in selection policies

So sad. Football administration and leadership in SA is utterly shambolic.

Even Pitso won't touch bafana. He knows you can play the whole day without scoring a single goal.

What annoys me is the fact that everyone act as if what he said is new Reason some fans dont go to stadium is because of poor performance from the clubs What Broos said its not new but he just said it arrogantly He was hired to work on that not to insult our intelligence

Well written. 👏

As a mother of two kids I have battled alot with my financial state to the point of begging from friends just to survive,until I started Bitcoin trading with the help of Allison_Grillo I made a successful withdrawal of R 200,000 with the help of Allison_Grillo.

When last was a SA striker won the highest goals scored 'golden boot ' in all competitions in PSL

Rubbish his job is to choose only best winning 11 of 600 players in PSL how can that be difficult. True indeed,some leaders are monopolizing the league, we won't see improvements anytime soon. He's not smart enough to change our fortunes.
