Dear #RulaniMokoena
I hope this message finds you well๐
As a proud South African football supporter, I felt compelled to write to you after watching @BafanaBafanaโs recent performance.
Firstly, I want to say that I believe South African football lost something special when @Masandawana parted ways with you. Your teams played with structure, bravery, tactical intelligence, and a clear identity which was translated to the national team. Those qualities seem to be fading, not only at club level but also within our national team.
Against Mexico, many of the Sundowns players showed that they operate at a much higher technical and tactical level than the rest of the squad. Their movement, decision-making, and composure on the ball stood out. Apart from Mbokazi, who impressed tremendously, there was a noticeable gap between the Sundowns players and many of their teammates.
I must also admit that I am increasingly concerned about the direction of the national team under Hugo Broos. While he deserves recognition for previous achievements, the football we are producing often lacks imagination, control, and tactical sophistication. As supporters, we want to see a South Africa that can compete with the best, not merely participate.
I sincerely wish you would return to South African football one day. In my view, Sundowns are slowly deteriorating from the standards that once made them the benchmark on the continent. Yesterday, at times, it felt as though we were playing โhelicopter footballโ rather than the intelligent possession-based football that has brought success to both club and country.
Whether it is at Sundowns, Kaizer Chiefs, or even one day with Bafana Bafana, I pray that South African football finds its way back to coaches who prioritize identity, development, and modern football principles.
The next FIFA World Cup is in 2030, and we have a lot of work to do if we are serious about becoming a respected football nation. I remain hopeful that leaders like yourself can still play a role in shaping that future.
Thank you for your contribution to South African football, and I wish you every success wherever your coaching journey takes you but leader please come back home๐
Yours sincerely,
Themba

โThe illegal immigrants must go, the people of South Africa will not eat Pan-Africanism, we canโt eat senseless ideologies. The problem is this education systems that produced so many stupid intellectuals, it has produced so many Thabo Mbekis and very few Jacob Zumas who see themselves as the only thinkers in society.โ - Mcebo Dlamini on @podcastwithmacg

I said this: Julius Malema wants to be President of South Africa, but he doesnโt listen to South Africans, not even once. How can you lead people you ainโt listening to??

To be fair, thatโs where their competition is. In the PSL they compete with just 1 or 2 teams thats it. It only gets exciting when they play Chiefs or Pirates as well. So to see them at their best, you have to attend their CAF games
