Safa clarifies ultimatum on Pitso Modisane

Safa want consistent top 3 Africa rating

Posted: 2012-02-03 19:30

The South African Football Association (Safa) wishes to clarify the position of the reported ultimatum to Bafana Bafana coach Pitso Mosimane.  

The reported ultimatum – CLICK HERE
 
• Safa has set a long term goal to be a top 3 African football Nation on a consistent basis
 
• The journey to achieve this goal will require the implementation of the technical plan, the development of which was discussed at the media Conference on Thursday, 2 February
 
• One of the key dimensions of the technical plan will be an emphasis on performance across all disciplines within the game
 
• Over and above the long term goal, South African football also has two short-term objectives: the first is to perform with excellence as the host team at the 2013 AFCON in South Africa next year; the second is to ensure that we progress through the qualifying process to participate in Brazil 2014
 
• The definition of ‘perform with excellence' has cast a shadow of uncertainty regarding the future of the Senior Men's National Team Head Coach, Pitso Mosimane. This was never the intention and Safa wishes to place on record that it fully supports, and has full confidence in the coach's and the players' ability to deliver
 
• We do believe that it is minimum expectation that Bafana Bafana progress beyond the Group stages of the 2013 Afcon and ideally we would wish to participate, in front of the Nation, in the Final at Soccer City
 
• Football is all about winning – Safa is in the business of winning. We fully understand the impact of the National Football Team's performance on the spirit of the Nation. We do not take this responsibility lightly and neither does the Senior Men's National Team Head Coach
 
• The Nation wants the team to win and progress far into the AFCON tournament. As custodians of the National team we set a minimum expectation, as stated by Safa vice-president Chief Mwelo Nonkonyana. This would be a good performance but not a great one. Accordingly, to inspire greatness we also set a high level goal. We want to win!
 
• It would, however, be wrong to pre-judge what ‘perform with excellence' means at this stage .We know what we need to achieve and we will need to carefully evaluate our performance and the implications after the tournament, not before!
 
• At this stage we would ask that the Nation gets behind the team, gets behind the coach and begin to focus on reigniting the spirit of 1996 and the emotional momentum of 2010.

Oh no. we a now suffering b'cos of suffer

Pablo: 2012-02-03 19:48

Whateva SAFA...whateva! who cares what U think if u can anyway! u have held the whole nation @ ransom...

The Ghost: 2012-02-03 20:06

Some things are easier said than done. But I agree with one thing, we CANNOT afford NOT to perform well at next year's AFCON, anything less than a finals appearance will be a failure, and IF (big IF mind you) we reach the final we MUST win it.

tebotouch : 2012-02-03 20:30

suffer is taking south africans 4 granted... Diz pipo earn hundrends of thousand bt yet fail with distinction 2 read n understand the rules of the game.!!!
I washed my hands in buny buny. Az long as thrz still pitso n hiz favouritism along with da current suffer administration i'l neva watch buny-buny play ...never mind attending thya matches.
...
Enough is enough...bai dankie suffer !!!

msp : 2012-02-03 22:03

Dear Safa,we will not archive any thing with Pitso,fire him and get Gordon Igusend the job,we have tried all black local coaches in sa,all failed excluding jomo,now I understand that bafana job is for white foreign guy or black south african guy,please give gordon a break and you will see service delivery

Jackie : 2012-02-03 22:44

I'm amused by da level of hatred displayed by da media, which has ripples effect 2 da entire society. Pitso is jst a scape-goat as de real problm here is da rift between SAFA nd PSL. Da power sruggle in SA futbal has a gr8 influence in da performnc of our playas @ national level. Da lig is on recession 4 da past 2 mnths,yet Pitso played da friendlies with 2012 participants with a make-shift tim.

One there4 wonders wher exactly do we take dis team 2. Dis ws a Gr8 platform offered 2 da nation 2 gauge our readiness 4 2012 qualifiers nd 2013 AFCON, which will b staged here @home. Really hw a nation with playas lyk ntsumayelo, doutie, masango, jali, serero etc fail 2 qualify 4 da olympics. Remember hw shakes struggled 2 assemble da tim. Instead of sympathising with Pitso da nation paints him with da same color as his employers. Its jst easy 2 insult nd pull down a black brother, apart 4rom da shame of nt undstng da rules of AFCON Bfn had a gud run 2wards qualifying 4 2012 tournmt. Call me names if u lyk, bt da gud thing 2 do is 2 give Pitso nd da boys a break. Let dem prepare well 4 da forth-coming tournmts. Let's support de tim SA nd leave da negativty bhind.

Who r they realy foolin here,just wondering cos nna i dnt sell tht cheap.

Nxa!!they can all go to the nearest HELL for all i care.

brazilitto : 2012-02-03 23:33

Pitso is not well and I repeat he is not made into some scapegoat. He is digging his own grave by his tactics. He will pick up wing players and turn them into central attackers.

Nxa fuseg man!! Dis thing iyanginyanyisa man! I will luv my team and continue supporting them. Dis thing of dis politician raping our football just make me sick.

BrianG: 2012-02-04 00:38

all South african soccer lovers lets support the coach and the whole team

Owen : 2012-02-04 05:59

Editor, you're tarnishing the brand of kick off by writting about Pitso...I don't wanna read about him. Nxa!!!!!

Zakumi.com : 2012-02-04 06:22

Pitso "GINGLES" Mosimane can i trust u and yo boys, after what you did in Afcon qaulify games?

KidKudu7: 2012-02-04 06:51

Looking @ the past performance by Bafana Bafana, I doubt even we will progress to the next round in next year's Nations Cup tournament.

Pitso is arrogant & dont like to accept a failure even if its caused by himself. The only thing he should do, is to resign & let an experienced overseas coach to take over for Bafana Bafana.

KidKudu7: 2012-02-04 06:55

Also SAFA are to be blamed here, they always come with incosistent decisions for who should be in the technical team for Bafana Bafana.

I mean we have failed to qualify for AFCON 2012, but no reshuffling has been done, meaning all is perfect in the technical team.

niza : 2012-02-04 07:44

South Africans let's face the fact we don't have a board if this so called board can do us a favor and step aside carry on collecting your fat cheques as that is what u clouded for and then put a panel of our football legends from 60s to 40s consisting of between 10 to 20 members paid by our tax money and report to the minister of sports directly and forget about these safa fatcats looting our money ,look what were they doing in afcon with no technical team nor couches of national teams? Wake up South Africans we are sitting on a time bomb.

khosi4ever! : 2012-02-04 07:53

Pitso and the Boys won't disappoint us. In home soil we r only bad travellers we topped our group during qualifiers stupid laws from CAF ruled us out of AFCON not all is bad abt Pitso and the Boys I won't be fooled by the media that has a vendetta against our coach we have a strong Bafana squad let us rally behind the team as fans we only have Bafana as a national team.

S : 2012-02-04 08:09

Stupid pitso not laws. Be hopeful but don't crack your heart.

S : 2012-02-04 08:18

Oh! I saw "khosi4life" that's enough hell to deal with nowadays. Using that name in this day and age u are really strong. Interesting how money changes football this days. Poor former cup kings.

Did SAFA and Pitso pay this editor to worship them this much?

Winkys : 2012-02-04 09:20

I think its high time that the pllayers also come to the party and stop behaving like pre-madonnas look how down to earth are highly ranked players in the world behave the likes of messi, kaka, ronaldo them

marcus  : 2012-02-04 10:21

bribing is da only option

brazilitto : 2012-02-04 10:36

when he was hired, it was a case of continuity. So perreira failed at the world cup and pitso was suppose to continue from that. As stupid as he is he did so with the same crop of players that failed the nation. Sboniso Gaxa, Simphiwe Tshabalala, KG, Gonondo should not be playing for bafana. Y is the current coach still selecting them.
But the truth is dis players are gud players if used in the right way. Like Pinnar who is used as a holding and attacking midfielder. Then Teko Modise will be used on the left. Gaxa should not be used as a left back while the really left back is sitting on the bench. Pitso is confusing players and we as the public look at dis players as bad players. That a case with Mphela. His morale and spirit is down bcos of banana.

brazilitto : 2012-02-04 12:35

My sources have told me someone has been robbed jewelry and a cellphone. Mr editor send 1 of your dummyporter to find out where was Jali and Mabena last nyt. And the baby was found in a bin near naturena. It is your job kickoff to find out if the reported pregnant players are still carrying theirs.
Khenyeza is reported to be wanted by police. Kickoff dig out any info plz.
The Kay Motsepe School tournament is soon to start. Tell the nation how the schools can register for the richest soccer school tournament in the World. I said in the world. Pls kickoff we love u, stop sleeping

------------------------------------

I'm not one to come on this site and insult people, but with you I'm afraid I have to. Before I even begin, let me clearly state that i DON'T GIVE A HOOTS A.S.S. WHO YOU ARE OR WHERE YOU'RE FROM. Now, to begin. All the bullcrap u just wrote is utter nonsense at its best! Pitso is an employee of SAFA and possibly the hottest seat than the President himself in the job he took. And if you any sensible knowledge in yourself, you would know that being an employee or even CEO or COO for that matter, you are tasked to perform at the duties you have been deployed to. As with every job MANDATE (Task) u are required to be given tasks and complete them 100% Now if you can't perfom to your duties, then clearly you are not fit enough for the job or task at hand. Hey wena, even CEOs can be fired in case you didn't know!!!

In the business world (that includes coaches and street sweepers) there is no room for error and no excuses tolerated. No finger pointing or shifting of blames or even such a word as scapegoat are accepted! Get that right. Not only are we talking about Pitso's job as him being a failure, but we also talking about national pride here. Now if that can't even facet in your mind, then frankly my short-sighted dimwit, you ARE an idiot!!!

Sweyts : 2012-02-04 13:14

Lehlohonolo, you ca'nt claim to be one not to insult others when you go on and do just that on your very comment.

What Jackie points out is important if you consider the faact that there is animosity between Irvin's PSL and Nematandani at Safa for obvious reasons(Nematandani screwed the Drug Duke for the top seat remember?).

Khoza is hellbent on ensuring that the "F.T.F" regime fails, and in the process costing the nation, the truth shall set you free boet!

As for Pitso, he was gonna fail anyway 'cause he's blaady incompetent and a moegoe! nx!

mhlonitjhwa : 2012-02-04 13:52

If we fire Pitso then who will take over from him?
I dont see a reason why Pitso mst be fired coz even that next coach 2 succeed him will dismally fail with flying colours.
So for me i will say lets stick with our own young and ambitious blackman until he finds his feed.

So phambili ngoPitso phambili...!

mhlonitjhwa : 2012-02-04 14:09

@Jackie : 2012-02-03
22:44

i fully agree with u mfana 'asekhaya.....most of our fellow black men are driven or ruled by jeolousy and hatred especially when they see another black man escalating to greater heights of this world.
U can only see that by the comments that people are making everyday. Maybe some of them are still bitter for Pitso by overlooking their sisters back in the days......or something like that im not sure....mh....mmh...m'ntu omnyama!

Sweyts : 2012-02-04 14:12

Mhlonitjhwa, our fellow black brother wamasimba!

This is not politics but football, if he's white and he fails he goes and on the same breath, if he's black and let's us down, we must kick his black strech-marked butt too!
The arrogant yet ignorant Pitso must just choke in his own puke, I've had it with that stupor!

To answer your question we have Shakes Mashaba, Kenny Ndlanzi, Gordon Igesund, Gavin Hunt even Walter Rautmann (If he returns like Mgqumeni) can do better. nx.

brazilitto : 2012-02-04 14:30

@sweyts holla dawane
@lehlohonolo... Ndodemnyama can u tell us the solution to dis. I am talking about the steps that we as public should take. De situation is not getting any better and I am tired of reading and writing messages. What need to be done is what I want to read.

@mhliniltjhwa. Forward with the coach who hav no compass or direction map. Phambili with our diffensive approach. Phambili with playing not to loose. Phambili with first division football at national level phambili.

mhlonitjhwa : 2012-02-04 14:30

please know your job, ukuba ngumlandeli!

If uPitso wak'shaya ngestina or any of ur brothers, jst accept mfana and stop your jeolousy towards the man!

brazilitto : 2012-02-04 15:09

Does black give u a right and power to fail. Politics and sport akuhlangani. Fcuk lento yo black, white brown coach. It sport, not some political masimba dust. Palmer, Hunt, Kompela and Ngubane are better coaches than pitso. For me Pitso is a worse thing that ever happen into our football. Even the Fifa ban was much better than this era. We are fcuked and its not funny

Sweyts : 2012-02-04 15:12

Halla Brazillito's!

Mhlonitjhwa, for your info.

As a fan, I happen to be a major role player my outie so should you be. Supporting blindly is for iy'wengu, I ca'nt walk around proudly shouting Pitso when I'm watching another Afcon on t.v. Infact, I'm not gonna argue this issue nomlandeli, because we will never understand each other.

To summarize and conclude: I'm not a follower but an assertive supporter......wena you can continue nobuwengu, shaya i-vuvuzela yakho as much as ufuna Bhakaniya it's a free country.......maar ungang'tsheli ngo-Pitso ngoba uyang'nyanyisa!

Sweyts : 2012-02-04 15:20

Ekse Brazilitto's, why the hell must we protect and shield a brother that is costing us so much?
Eintlek, what black brother? Hhe man Black brother wok'nuka!

Pitso is not MY black brother because he would've done like a brother would and sacrifice himself for the good of the whole family, He's nothing but a black brother wey'duphunga k'phela! lol.

Matt/ Tremble4DaTrebleChamps: 2012-02-04 16:04

Sadly, even if we engage matters concerning the natioanl team, we still want to drag club politics into everything.

@Swetys, why are you blaming Khoza for all this? Wasn't this team given almost 5 months to prepare for the world cup in 2010 when our league finished Feb 2010? And although Pitso was still not head coach, but he was there. Hence that's why some people say keeping Pitso was a continuation of failure. Let's face it, the guy just doesn't have the expertise to deal with the job at hand. Even during the qualifiers, ALL the players were made available for this bloke to select, yet he failed dismally. Only time players were not available was due to injury.

And to justify the accusation you have on Khoza, the man even went out and held a press conferrence to bring to light that no proper communication whatsoever was made by Safa to the PSL regarding the release of players for the U-23 and senior national team for those non-FIFA calendar matches. Bear in mind, any fixture or practice match played out a FIFA calendar warrants every club to reject allowing their players to go. Now how did Khoza influence KC, Sundowns and the rest of the PSL clubs not to release players for bafoony? How??? Coz when I look at it, not only was it PSL clubs that said no, and they were well within their right to do so, overseas clubs did the same too. We have over 100 players playing outside Africa and you guys mean to tell me Pitso could not pick 23 men from over 100 players playing outside Africa that are South Africans? That alone exposes Pitso of how short-sighted he is in his own right. If I were in his position, I would request for SAFA to hire scouts to go all over Europe and scout for players with dual SA citizenship and lure them to come play for the National team. When's the last time that happened; during Clive Barker's time. Has it happened since then? No!!!!!

And this bull about this being a Black man and we're trying to pull him down? Man cut the chicken s.h.i.t. coz that's about as good as that as far as I can see it. I mentioned in the previous article about this dude that guys like Trott and Carlos Queiroz achieved more than this bozzo but they were given the boot. Worst of all Trott was Black. So if there's any Black person to feel sorry for it's Trott; not this a.s.s. wipe named pitso!

As for these mandates that safa is now putting into place, I'm afraid it's too litle, too late. We should've preserved the leagcy that was built in '96 instead we are left having to reminisce about that year. We've become a one-h.i.t-wonder nation of football in the African continent and guys like Pitso have no clue on how to get us back on song.

@swyts lol lol brother yoknuka. Dis is frustrating dawane.

Can't wait for psl to resume. I miss the interviews. Steve Kompela talking big b4 matches, Julio Leal taking 4ever to finish 1 sentence. VV saying it as it is, u know calling a spade a spade. Sir Neeskens getting angry for squandering chances.

brazilitto : 2012-02-05 14:36

I look at mark hughes and martin O'Neal. I said mark hughes is like pitso. Lots of noise, lots of signings, lots of money spend, less action and positive results. Martin o'neal on the other side is proving his leadership capabilities. The same team that was coached by steve bruce is giving him positive results. Now that a coach. Gordon igesund is doing it with swallows. Roberto Mancini is getting the best out of Mario Ballotelli which the best coach in the world failed to do. When Guus Hiddink took charge of S korea and Australia he took those countries into the next level. Up until today they play gud football.

Ladies and Gentlemen it Sunday and pitso is still our coach. Question is beside dropping Mbazo as our captain what has dis man done for our football. Where is he taking our game

I agree we should be in Top 3 of Africa...We have talented players. People must chillax, Bafana havn't had a fully fit and available squad in a while and that has impacted our results...we need to start getting some consistentcy in selection now. I just worry about Pitso...when he sees things going wrong he doesn't make changes and sits and hopes his plan work out...a lot about being a good coach is being flexible and to think on ur feet...i don't think Pitso does that well. He plans and just hopes it works on the day...he needs to be flexible.
