I wish to air my views regarding the Vodacom Challenge. When the tournament started it promoted African football by inviting teams from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana and Zimbabwe, to mention just three.

Today, English Premier clubs are a feature and the concept has lost its meaning. The advert they flighted on television used to touch me because of its illustrations of Africa.

Today it is time to discuss business and football is the loser. We thought Egyptian, Tunisian and Moroccan clubs would also be added or maybe Bloemfontein Celtic, who are sponsored by the same company, because their fans can sell any match.
