Replace Bafana with The Scarabs

We heard Robert Marawa interviewing President Thabo Mbeki on Metro FM about changing Bafana Bafana's name.

We heard Robert Marawa interviewing President Thabo Mbeki on Metro FM about changing Bafana Bafana's name.

We thought of an indigenous insect to represent our soccer boys. We suggest The Scarabs - dung beetles. This insect breaks up the dung of horses, donkeys, cattle and even dogs and cats, forms it into a ball and rolls it away. The ball is then buried and the female lays her eggs in it.

These insects are similar to players taking the ball from their opponents and burying it ball behind the net.

Louis, Rose and Napogadi,
