Open letter to ZIFA

By Mkhululi Mthunzi

As a nation we are going through terrible times and we cannot continue this way especially on the football front where we expect football to bring us together.

What is happening now we are seeing a new culture in our football where people are continuously suspending each other and continuously fighting each other and this obviously impacts negatively in our football.

My message to those guys in power or the guys that are holding offices is simple, gentlemen let us embrace each other, let us agree to disagree I issues that are personal. But when we look at issues on national scale we have to move forward and embrace each other on national issues.

When it comes to the national team issues our flag is at stake, when it comes to the progress or the success that we enjoy as a nation it's through or national team. So if we continue on this way where we keep on fighting there will be no development. Without development there's no reason why one is at a particular office in the first place.

Let's listen to advices and comments of others even though they are outside the Zifa offices. Where they pinpoint on grey areas, it's to our advantage especially to those who are in office.

No one would ever want to take over a collapsed Zifa, we need to support the guys who are on the steering wheel now so that in future when people decide to give another person a chance to run Zifa, the person runs an office that is moving forward.
