LISTEN | “But at the time he broke me — he literally broke me. But God is great because this story has a happy ending — this prince got his little crown at the end.”
Former Orlando Pirates and Bafana Bafana goalkeeper Moeneeb Josephs has related how being slammed in the media by then sports minister Fikile Mbalula in 2014 “broke” him.
Famously referring to Bafana as a “bunch of losers”, Mbalula singled out Josephs, who made a handling error that led to Nigeria’s second goal. Josephs said he was not ready to play in the tournament as he was fatigued and had been given a holiday by his club, Bidvest Wits, and was called back from that by Bafana coach Gordon Igesund to play in the Chan.
