It is rather unfortunate to see [Dillon] Sheppard injured.

It is rather unfortunate to see [Dillon] Sheppard injured.

Although l am not a Mamelodi Sundowns fan, l like watching him tackle opponents and creating scoring opportunities for his teammates. He is a marvel to watch.

He was becoming a regular in the national team, having caught the watchful eye of the national coach. l know he is strong enough to fight back from injury.

His attitude towards James Matola is very encouraging and exemplary to other soccer players. And to Matola, you showed true sportsmanship by contacting Sheppard after the injury. l know that the Almighty God will find ways of healing both of you in appropriate time.

May He bless both of you and your families as you go through the healing process. The country needs both of you.
