Johnson said:

"We expected to have more supporters today, but if you look back at what's happening around, there are a lot of election gatherings. People are saying, 'Hey, let me go to a rally so that I can get Sassa [grant],' so we are also faced with a lot of those competitions.

"Useless coach. He always comes with excuses."
