Behind every glory there's a story...

Hi

 Beautiful weekend filled with amazing talent showcase. Rugby World Cup has got us on a threshold, the intense competition amongst the teams is phenomenal. Must say the Springbok's did us proud against Wales although the game was very close. There's high expectations for the Springboks and the amazing performance of the All Blacks certainly got Sabc (South African broadcasting corporation) scared of broadcasting the game (All Blacks vs France). Maybe a good move to divert panic amongst the Springbok die hearts but those who got access to Supersport can admit that the All Blacks humiliated France. From my observation of the match, it was more like a message being sent to the teams who dare to stand in front of the All Blacks.

It's a bitter sweet time to be a South African right now with on going protests against rising tertiary fees but we truly want the Springboks to remain focused and remember the patriotism the sport of rugby has inflicted on the people of South Africa. I personally hope they see and honour the courage the South African youth posses and on that they can gather up strength and "gees" to once again inflict pain on the All Blacks. 

#Feesmustfall campaign

There's a story being written by the South African youth and it will grow globally and liberate others. Youth protests are growing all over the country, Rhodes University in Grahamstown, the Tshwane University of Technology and Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University in Port Elizabeth are involved in the #Feesmustfall campaign fighting the rise of tuition fees. All three campuses at the University of Free State (UFS) were shut down on Wednesday in light of the protests.The Revolution is being televised and we the South African youth are tired of exploitation. Some of us compare 2015 student protests to the June 16, 1976 movement. Students feel they not disposable resources and that they need to be taken into consideration and their standards of living.

To conclude this post I want to say that these are things that matter to me, I want to see the Springboks conquer they biggest rivals but as the youth of South Africa I take pride in my fellow peers and their struggle is my struggle. We don't afford the rising tuition fees of our institutions and we feel compromised as youth. Education is a necessity and without it we realize that we are nothing so the Blade Nzimandes & the Habib's must hear our cry and attend to these issues with great importance.

Fifa allegations view to be true…

Hi once again to my football followers.

Not so long ago the Minister of Sports and Recreation, Mr Fikile Mbalula came to the rescue of SAFA's (South African Football Association) integrity stating "we do not bribe". Well this afternoon South Africa was hit with the information that former SAFA head of national teams is suspended for six years from all footballing activities for the next six years for his role in alleged match fixing scandal relating to international matches Bafana Bafana played prior to the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

As a proud South African football follower and overall supporter of the sports fraternity I'm happy the IEC (Independent Ethics Commitee) could get to the bottom of this saga and stamp their authority to no tolerance of dirty tactics trying to pollute the beautiful game.

No money is big enough to buy the beautiful game of football and any other sports code matter fact. We need to continue supporting federations like SAFA, FIFA etc. to get rid of these officials corrupted by money & deceitful ways. Let's respect the game, the fans who pay lot's of money to watch the games and lastly the sports players that invest ridiculous amounts of blood and sweat.

Brings me great pleasure to see the end of this saga and It's true what they say: "Where there's smoke there is fire". Let this be a warning to those corrupt officials, you shall be "smoked" out! South African Football Association will grow from this disturbing incident and it's inevitable only good things will come from Mr D Jordaan leadership team.
