ICYMI: ' There is something fundamentally wrong, and quite honestly tragic, with this whole Pitso Mosimane saga,' says SABC News Senior Producer Sipho Kekana regarding Mosimane’s snub at the Best FIFA Football Awards 2021.

But the Hegelian view is not the tragedy here. The true tragedy here is, when we as Africans adopt the Hegelian view of ourselves. The true tragedy is the day we keep quiet when Europe seeks to tell us Pitso Mosimane is not good enough, not even for a mere nomination and we are not offended.

Despite his achievements, Pitso Mosimane is not good enough and yet, African football federations and club bosses are happy to bring any European to their national teams and clubs as long as they can just say they can coach, without any credible coaching track record. We have adopted the Hegelian view of ourselves and that is the tragedy!

In fact, is it the evolution of football or the Europeanisation of football when Africa has lost its flair and Brazil has lost its Samba all under the guise of this pseudo-evolution? Is it evolution or Europeanisation when right in front of our eyes Europe has the most slots in the World Cup? Is it evolution or Europeanisation when the World Cup in its latter stages resembles the Euros because all other continents have been knocked out, having failed to beat Europe playing the European way?...

“We ignore our coaches, and bring these palookas from Europe, instead of giving our own brothers and sisters a chance, to achieve. How many African coaches are there in Cameroon, out of 24 nations? How many of the European coaches there have even been selected for any FIFA Awards? So, where are we rating ourselves? Here is Europe that says an African with two Champions League trophies is not good enough.

“The absence of that unitary coaching philosophy for specific football federations in Africa will always hold back the progress of African football. We are so obsessed with copying everything that is European and we forget that the success of those European is founded in those countries having national playing philosophies, long-term technical vision and so on – all of which a missing in African football and we try to do the same we try to import their own traditions and cultures.

I always hated Bitcoin and thought it was a scam,till I met AMBREYMARCUS1 I made my withdrawal of R250,000 in 2 weeks thanks to AMBREYMARCUS1 Now am financially stable .

Mara Ladies and Gentlemen we as South Africa, who are we in front of fifa. We are not Ghana and we are not Senegal. We made a BIG mistake by hosting World Cup in 2010.

There's nothing tragic here. You were quite all along until white people in America said something,now you want to act as if you're also concerned. Stick to talking about diski challenge and those matters. Leave Pitso and his fight alone.

FIFA is racist ...and kudala...they will not change anytime soon.
