I am not sure if Ms Mdoda knows anything about sport but, why aren’t they giving such opportunities to some of the retired Banyana Banyana players? That’s just my 2c opinion bethuna.

It sad that South Africa has students who study sports management, but then media personalities get this sports gigs cause they know who knows who. That time they dont even know a thing about sport.

I love Anele but this recycling situation is not ayoba. There’s unearthed talent out there waiting and deserving of opportunities. https://t.co/8zrNxmdc1u
