Quotes One thing I have noticed is that the current young generation no longer have the passion. For us, football was probably one of the few ways to kick out poverty. We loved it because we knew our lives would change because of it. So we must be examplary, so that they can look up to us and say we can be like that or more. They want to know what you are doing with your life. These young boys need inspiration because the way they view the world now is different from how we perceived it So far, my journey in talent identification has been smooth but of course with a bit of challenges. But I can assure you that it won’t be long before some of the players I am identifying reach the Betway Premiership Mpho Makola: ‘We have to be examplary….’January 10 2025, FARPost by Terry Madyauta I was fasting during Ramadan for Polokwane City. The only thing I was fasting for was for the team to win the league. Even when we were in camp, I would wake up at 04h00 or 05h00 to eat breakfast before sunrise, just for the team to win the league. That's the only thing I was fasting for. When we won the league, that's when I believed fasting and prayer works. I cry a lot. My wife tells me if I need to cry, I should just let it go out. I know a lot of people and players who are going through mental stuff that they never speak about. So, my advice is if you are not able to speak about it, then pray about it. I didn't know I was this strong, but I realised I'm stronger than I thought I was. The fact that I'm able to speak about it shows me There's no manual, so you've got to navigate your way around these things. When it's time for you to play your role and hold your end of the bargain, then you are not doing it. But I was also like this is God showing me something and I decided to move away from it. It's okay Obviously, I don't want to be exploited because some people tend to do that when you are in a situation like that.
