FROM TOP DEFENDER TO TRAIN CONDUCTOR IN JOZI

Sitimela... sihamba ngamalahle... sitimela... sihamba ngamalahle... Deep down in the belly of the earth there is a shiny elusive stone... From Zimbabwe, Botswana, Lesotho, Swaziland... from all the hinterlands of Africa..,” sings our favourite Afro-Jazz artist, the legendary Hugh Masekela in one of his albums and Gazi singena ngalengoma nje phela we got a juicy story of this former top defender who played for two teams letake tavana but nyalo sekwaba ma-arch-rivals.

Sitatiteka leto mnetfu. Phela Gazi, to say we are dismayed, shocked and embarrassed by the decision letsetfwe yi-DC in ordering a replay kule-derby would be an understatement of the year. Even some of the crew members lesibati kahle kutsi bayatifela nge-Nkunzi are not happy with the decision. We asked Sisi Gertrude lesimati kakhulu kutsi her heart is black and white wavele wasitjela kutsi asesimcolele ngalomdlalo webhola yesintfu utibukelela i-Cricket yena these days and “besides, the ABSA Premiership is back.”

Wuwi bani ke ngeke phela umtsintse ngale-Pie-rats yakhe!!! Gwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwa...
Gazi, it’s been a very challenging week for ibhola in the country, especially after the pronouncement of the derby replay and knowing kutsi even our teams layodlala kuma-CAF games are only honouring lama-games for formality sekute labatawubuya nako. Gazi sibuya kuma-games e-SwaziBank nje which lifted our spirits because of the competitive nature yawo and nje bese sesidvumatwa ngulama announcements lanjena. It kills the excitement but obviously Gazi those who support ‘Inkunzi’ are jumping up and down in pure joy. We are watching everything with keen interest kutsi ingabe lomdlalo lona utawufikaphi. Kona Gazi iyafa lebhola sibuka.

Gazi, we were also touched phela nasibona lama-legends la-under i-TZD ya-Zakhele travelling to Siteki where they made a donation to former Eleven Men In Flight and Sihlangu goalkeeper Nkomishi Simelane. That was a good thing to do and blessed is the hand that gives than the one that takes. We hope our teams will one day look at how they can assist the players even when their playing careers are over.

Talking of players going through hard times phela reminded us of the sad story of this former defender who played for three big teams in the country including two Manzini sides. He used to date a Toyota Corolla driving beautiful lady and they were inseparable like Jay Zee and Beyonce.
