Four Seasons Before Lunch Gauteng (Pretoria)

 I have lived in Pretoria for half my life, but even at almost 50, l still am not ready for mornings like this . I step out of  home in the morning at 7 a.m., greeted by a warm, gentle breeze and sunshine so golden it felt like summer had arrived overnight. The sky was clear; the jacaranda trees glowed purple; the air smelled of warmth and possibility. “Perfect day,” l muttered, locking his door. By the time l drive out—five minutes later—the sky starts to be darkened. A cold wind came crawling in from nowhere, sweeping dust across the pavement. The temperature dropped so suddenly that  l have  to switch the heater for warmth. Laughing. “Ah, Pretoria… you never disappoint.” Halfway to the office, the heavens opened. Not soft rain— a storm . Sheets of water hammered the road, street gutters overflowed instantly, and distant thunder rolled like a grumpy giant waking up too early. People scattered, hiding under bus shelters already too full.  “Ten minutes ago...

South African National team dilemma

Coach Pitso Musimane you have cost us the glory of going to African Cup of Nations. First you give the players an impression to relax and settle for a draw game banking on another country’s game. Why don’t you prepare your charges for their own victory regardless of the other games outcome? Score your own goals and seal your qualification automatically.
Secondly your team selection.  The team was full of derby players not players who have the character to  handle  the  game of this magnitude. This was a must win game, final qualifier, you needed depth even the likes of Benny McCarthy, Siyabonga Nomvete etc  could have  been involved in this kind of a games because of experience and understanding of the importance of the level.
You filded these derby players like Andile Jali, Oupa Manyisa and not involve  the likes of Thulane Serero who are rubbing shoulders with the likes of Christiana Ronaldo. Look at Orlando Pirates its loosing weekend in weekend out and these some players who shines during the derby are the once who will be playing.
Coming to your personality as a coach! to show a lack of tactical discipline, lack of confidence, too much anxiety, l can mention more and to some extend your weaknesses.  You were jumping, running from one end to another on your area, kicking in the air, shouting and pointing fingers. I even remember a situation whereby you were sitting and kicking with both legs as if you were going to fall from your set or chair. Diego Maradona  had that same behavior but where did go, with a team which was fully stared-ed with cream players,even the world’s best, they were thumped like armatures.
Concerning this matter I think they is a lot to be done, you took a machine which was oiled by someone. Now that lubricant is finish we want to see your servicing of the machine. That’s where your personality comes in. Character, tactics, knowledge of the game and that which you have learned from the predecessor comes in practical use. Then we can all say you are a star. Team performance and results will tell for themselves.  Thank you .
