SPORTS TEACHER FINGERED IN AGE-CHEATING SCANDAL

Sekunjalo ... Sangena Gazi singena on the last weekend of November sihalakashela ku-Dezemba boss ... our favourite month of the year. 

Who doesn’t like Dezemba Gazi? Dezemba has ‘that thing’ ... ngisho umoya wakhona uyashintja. 

It’s the only month Gazi where kushisa ekuseni emini liyana ntsambama lishise futsi. 

Tsine ke who went to school in Cape Town (yebo phela natsi saya esikolweni) are used to such conditions. 

Nga-Dezemba funa uhlale une-jacket and a spare pair of shoes. Phela nga-Dezemba utsi uya esitolo uyotsenga sinkhwa ubuye after lunch sodzakiwe because people baba-loose nje nanga 9am bayabutjubha nje strong. Gazi talking of kubutjubha ... kantsi nentani leka-Manzini yebekunene? 

Phela the shocking videos involving tidla mlilo and a socialite, which were trending on social media, really shocked us. Besicabanga kutsi ngulemaveni or to be precise le-Mzansi kubo Yeoville nabo-Hillbrow where kwenteka noma yini kantsi ngukhona la-Swatini. Lafa lelihle kakhulu. 

Gazi sisakhuluma ngekufa nje we are still shocked how our national Under-17 squad was disqualified leka-COSAFA Youth Championships for allegedly fielding an over-aged player.

 We then sent our ‘scorpions’ to investigate or lukhozi lwetfu lolunemaphiko and what we gathered was shocking. Phela even school teachers, for years, have been party to the altering of ages of the young boys to enable them to play kulama age-category school ball games and subsequently in the national teams. After phela the Eswatini Football Association (EFA) discovered kutsi most of the players ladlala in the mainstream Premier League of Eswatini (PLE) Under-17 league are over-aged (a scandal in itself kwasona leso) it then became wathela wayeka nje. 

Parents and school teachers were called day and night to bring their own children to the national team fold. Besekubutsitswa nje. Kwashayelwa some of the smallernyana academies lakhona in an act of panic as the tournament drew nearer. 

One of the teachers ke surprisingly has turned into a ‘whistle blower’ and is one of those who is now being fingered for altering one of the boys’ age. Before the sports teacher leaked the information to the media, he was unaware that the boy he was talking about had actually failed the MRI test and was among the nine players who were dropped. 

When he called the boy nasekuphume le-story washo lomfana kutsi yena he didn’t travel to Port Elizabeth because he was the one who had fiddled with his birth certificate, yena vela he is above 17 years. Washa khekhe!

The football authorities ke Gazi are reportedly livid with the sports teacher and bafuna kumfundzisa sifundvo for airing their dirty laundry about age-cheating yet he was also party to it. We are watching this one with keen interest. 

Asinandzaba kutsi CAF utsini, sifuna kuva kutsi ingabe lena yalo-sports teacher nebaphatsi bebhola itawugcina kanjani. Tsine all we know kutsi ngatsi IT WILL END IN TEARS!
