Pitso Mosimane, former Mamelodi Sundowns and Bafana Bafana coach, discounted the African Football League’s significance. Jingles criticized it as a trivial tournament unworthy of comparison with the Confederation of African Football League. South Africans chastised him for his remarks and chastised him for his words.
During a press conference, journalists queried Pitso Mosimane about the AFL, according to TimesLIVE. When Mamelodi Sundowns defeated Wydad Casablanca, they won the AFL.
Mosimane stated that he only cares about how much money clubs make from the event, citing Mamelodi Sundowns’ R125 million profit from the elimination stages to the finals. Mosimane went on to say that he didn’t understand how clubs were chosen for the competition.
Netizens on Facebook strongly disagreed with Mosimane.
Jabulani Wase Voti said.
“A tournament that invites teams that won leagues in their respective countries is big, and you should not downplay its importance.”
Modikoe Elias Ramongana exclaimed:
“The same people who think and support what Pitso is saying about the AFL were insulting him when he said the same thing about the Carling Black Label Cup.”
Nopopo Popola bashed him.
“It was not organized to make him understand it. Sundowns understand R76 million very well. Haters are bus with their journey of jealousy, and CAF knows exactly what they’re doing. That tournament is known and endorsed by FIFA.”
Lusa Mnkandla exclaimed:
“Pitso is now showing serious signs of jealousy against Rhulani. What hes he mean that it’s not CAF when CAF organises it? Pitso loves attention. He left Sundowns and thought we would miss him and beg him to return.”
