Bafana Bafana Celebrate – Moroka Swallows Online
Bafana Bafana have been challenged by South African Football Association (Safa) president Kirsten Nematandani to follow in the footsteps of 2013 Comrades Marathon winner Claude Moshiywa in their crucial World Cup qualifying matches against the Central African Republic (CAR) and Ethiopia in the coming two weeks.
Moshiywa broke free in the last third of the Comrades Marathon in KwaZulu-Natal on Sunday, to end the foreign stranglehold on the “up run” as he became the first South African to win the Durban-to-Pietermaritzburg version of the race in 21 years.
“I would like to congratulate Claude [Moshiywa] for showing that this country is a nation of winners,” Nematandani said.
“Claude is an embodiment of South Africa’s winning spirit, and I want to take this opportunity to urge our Bafana Bafana players who depart for Cameroon and Ethiopia today to take a leaf out of Moshiywa’s book, that if you are determined in whatever you want to achieve, nothing is impossible.” – SAinfo
