Shakes Mashaba Speaks Isizulu To Protest Treatment Of SA Journalists by KLEINBASS: 1:39pm On Jan 21, 2015
There was drama
at Bafana
Bafana’s pre-
match conference
in Equatorial
Guinea when coach Shakes
Mashaba refused
to answer
questions in
English. Instead Mashaba
answered questions in isiZulu as he protested
against the treatment meted out to
South African journalists earlier on
during Algeria’s press conference. “This is the Africa Cup of Nations and I
speak the language I understand,” he
said yesterday. This sparked a mini demonstration from
other journalists as the proceedings got
out of hand, but Mashaba stuck to his
guns and only answered questions in
isiZulu. Mashaba did this in solidarity with South
African journalists who were left
stranded during Algeria’s conference,
which was conducted in French and
Arabic earlier in the day. CAF officials who were conducting the
conference blamed this chaos on the
local organising committee for failing to
organise translators. They promised to have translators ready
for the opening matches tonight. Ghana take on Senegal in the first match
while Bafana and Algeria will contest the
second at 9pm South African time.
