SAFA CEO, Dennis SAFA CEO, Dennis Mumble, says they want use football to unite the people by organising two high-profile friendlies against our neighbouring countries.

“We want to use the two high-profile international friendly matches as an instrument to unite this continent. What has been happening in the past few days have really left most people in a shock and dismayed,” Mumble said in a statement released by SAFA.

“We have decided to take this step (of playing two high-profile international friendly matches) as part of the fight against xenophobia. Madiba spoke of the power of sport in uniting people from different walks of life and we want to use the power of football to unite this continent and kick out this scourge within certain malcontents in our society."

Mumble feels that the recent violence has dented the image of the country.

“Most sporting personalities have had their say in denouncing these barbaric acts but we want to go a step further by playing friendly matches against neighbouring countries. We want to send out a message to those perpetrating these acts to sit back and realise what they are doing is wrong.

“We are one continent, one Africa, we are all Africans and we say no to xenophobia.”

Details for the two international friendlies will be by SAFA in the next few days.

... Heheheheheee my quickest fp thread ever...

No o

You will only be risking the lives of the players.

There is nothing like xenophobia here...xenophobia is discrimination... What we see here is daylight murder and terrorism.

Until you bring the perpetrators to book for all the deaths of our people...you guys will forever never know development

...And won't they "xenophobialize" the opposition teams and their fans

If I were a footballer, I'll prefer hanging my boot at that juncture

God knows best

Nonsense! Is that the solution?

What?

To shed more blood I guess.

I pity d kwantiri that will say yes to that!

shoro niyen?

No country should accept

And how will dis solve d issue on ground

Friendly match kor enemy match ni...mcteww

This South Africans think this is a joke. Smh.

Ok

Rubbish! Instead of them to call their citizens to order

Lets see if any country will accept to be involved .

which friendly una wan organise?God help south Africa and thier people ...if we deploy oshodi boys to SA..una go know say una no sabi violence.. bloody lazy asssholessss..#saynotoxenophobia & #saynotosouthafricans.

Will it be played in south Africa? That would be mass murder. Those guys are high on their xenophobia-inducing drugs. They can go to any length.

Organizing a friendly match is not the solution to this. I think most south Africans need reorientation or even rehabilitation. It's more of a psychological problem.

What have this guys been smoking?


The only fight against xenophobia we want is justice, stop the attack and bring the culprit to book, that's all we need and not one rubbish match.

What if they attack the players?

This is RAW-BISH

Abi Dis Man Dey Craze Ni?

If Nigeria accepts their offer for the friendly then I know we were meant to be fools.

Rubbish....this is making sence at all....we are nt fools.....

If una wan unite anybody, make una arrest those people wey we see for video burning those small kids, and the idiot wey stab that Mozambique man to death.

Den we know say una wan unite Africa.

IDIOTS

Nonsense! They should talk to their dogs. Bring the perpetrators to book and sanction that useless king that started it in the first instance

hmmm, the coco this guy is sniffing or the heroin he is shooting up or the mj he is smoking must be top grade o. friendly match, so that they will kill d visiting team supporters while these useless SAns stand and watch as per usual. May God visit them with his anger and may everything bad in life fall upon their dirty king and the boys doing the killing and all those in support.

Medcine after death

A sinner will not go unpurnish

I jst pray for peace to reign

I piety the idiotic countries that will accept and send their players on the same field with those demons...

To be watched by who?
This our mumu NFF fit decide to offer to play that friendly..

Who is Safa?
