"I still forget that he plays for my Orlando Pirates now. Congratulations my captain."

Chauke Solly:

"I never thought the day is coming were Itu will be a bench warmer both for national and club. He knows very well that he's there because of history, not current form."

"I thought he was going to retire then others taking the baton to carry on.. It's kinda sad, he was so unbelievable."

Karabo Phakane:

"Captain to my captain you deserved what we fans of Bucs vote for you a player of Bucs ungalahli indaboko yakho nalana ubambe khona"

Earlier, Briefly.co.za reported that soccer fans have been left out in the cold by SABC after the broadcaster confirmed that the much-anticipated clash between Bafana Bafana and Sao Tome and Principe would no be broadcast.

They were due to face the team in the fourth AFCON Qualifier today but fans were unable to watch the match played at the Nelson Mandela Bay stadium in Port Elizabeth.

SABC is out of pocket and cannot afford to broadcast the game under the previous agreement with CAF and have been unsuccessful in negotiating a contract they can afford.

Fans had to accept that fact that the national broadcaster had failed them.
