Bobby shocked at Mthembu call-up

Bobby Motaung questions Safa's call-up of Thabani Mthembu

Posted: 10 December 2010 Time: 10:24 am

Kaizer Chiefs football manager Bobby Motaung says he is shocked by the call-up of Thabani Mthembu to the national Under-17 side.

The young striker was selected for the Sascoc Games in Mbabane which starts today, despite Chiefs having suspended the player for suspected age-cheating.

“On October 28 we wrote a letter informing Safa that Boitumelo Xaba and Thabani Maluleki Mthembu have been suspended by the Club because of suspected age cheating,” he told the club’s official website.

“We are surprised to hear from the media that the player has been called up under Kaizer Chiefs name. We never received a letter from Safa and we would like to put it categorically clear that we are distancing ourselves from this call-up.” Discuss this topic on Facebook: www.facebook.com/kickoffmagazine New fans stand the chance to win a KICK OFF hamper!

@ Gerald and Fistos.

You guys are Too infactuated with The Greatest Team in Southern Africa (Orlando Pirates). I mean, If segolela is Cheated what impact will that have on this Country. it is not like he is playing for the u/23 or U/17.

Niyithanda kakubi iPirates.

Bobby, what steps did you take to end up suspending the players in question??? Maybe you should tell all the interested parties so that they too can root out all the age cheaters.
We are sick and tired of bo Tlou Segolela of this world... The guys looks older than my friend (Ditabana's) brother..

Kaizer Chimps suppoters are so dom!!! Suspending and expelling are not synonymous. Masho-dom, which player was expelled at Kaizer Cabbage FC for age cheating? I hate the Jazabels because they have a big mouth. Why dont you give SAFA the chance to react to Bobby's shock? What if SAFA made they homework and found the boy not to have cheated? When is Chiefs going to conclude the investigation on these boys? Why are Chiefs not expelling them? How long will this suspension going to last? Why didnt SAFA inform Chiefs if they found the player innocent of the accussation? Did chiefs really sent that letter to SAFA? proof, Bobby MaTender is not to be trusted. KO call SAFA to respond to all the questions.

pierats failed to do this with vilakazi, but i guess they can redeem themselves and suspend grandpas Modise and Ontogoro, they are the worst age cheats by far.

For all those Kaizer Cheats who claim that OP players are older than their age, I dont blame you, you are just trying to feel good because your team has the entire development cheating on age. Its easy to make counter allegations. SpiderMadala looks way older than the age declared so is Mandla Masango. The young star that you signed from Pirates development was also a cheat and older than he is according to the Jazabels but now that he joined the Jazabels thats his age.

@Bakaniya

The problem with cheats is that they deny our "real youngsters" an opportunity 2 play @ the highest level. If we condone it & say "If Segolela is Cheated what impact will that have on this Country" we r killing our football.

USA came here & beat us with a 17yrs old. 17yrs old MAKOYA. Look @ Gerald Sibeko & Dikgang Mabalane & tell me if they were born b4 1980. This 2 guys use their real age not SOCCER AGE
