Open letter to Minister Fikile Mbalula

An Open Letter has emerged addressed to Fikile Mbalula after Bafana Bafana's exit from the Africa Nations Championship from Matt Hamilton

"Dear Mr Mbalula,
*Please not that the contents of this communique are being forwarded to the South African Human Rights Commission; Deputy Minister of Sport and Recreation, Mr Gert Oosthuizen; Director General Mr Alec Moemi; Chief Operations Officer Ms Sumayya Khan; Every member of Bafana Bafana’s playing & management staff; as well as the Local & International Press.
 Fikile Mbalula
Fikile Mbalula: Opportunistic Parasite.
I would like to comment on your recent comments pertaining to Bafana Bafana‘s exit from the African Nations Championship. I found your labelling of the team as “a useless bunch of losers” who have “disgraced the country” as treacherous, unpatriotic, duplicitous, masochistically opportunistic & wholly unfitting of someone in any kind of official capacity. You are the disgrace – not just to the nation who has mandated you to foster, nurture & develop sport & the spirit of sport in their land but to the legacy of Nelson Mandela.
How in your dimwitted ideology is it acceptable to kick a team, the team who fall under your fucking mandate as a nominally elected official, when they’re down? They lost a football match – to a very capable Giant of Continental football – you lost a lot more than that with your mutterings of a simpleton in the aftermath. One of many, many key differentials between you & Mandela is a core decency – he united a nation where you whore yourself & that of your office for short-run auxiliary glory leveraged from sportsmen who possess talent, athletic ability & professionalism beyond your comprehension.
By any metric (a woman raped every 26 seconds; 99.75% of South African rapists getting away with their crimes & a higher death rate in police custody than many developed nation murder rates; I could go on…) you were a complete & utter failure as Deputy Minister of Police & your recent statements chastising the national soccer team render your resignation from office with immediate effect a matter of urgency.
Your complete lack of tactical acumen renders dabbling in international level football a calamitous & fool-hardy endeavour. To publicly state that “We must forget this generation of players” confirms that you are in fact an imbecile. The trouble with an uneducated, idiot son of the corrupt system such as yourself is you vastly over-estimate your worth as an intellectual contributor & vastly under-estimate how little worth yet conversely how potentially damaging your petty, childish outbursts are to the very organization you are mandated to act in the interests of…
Gordon is not the only problem in the team” – you bud are not helping matters. This is a coach who is the sole avenue the national team possesses to long run success & I’d be very very respectful of the value of a man who too good a coach to have to deal with cretins like you on more than an occasional basis. Every country in the world has to negotiate for the release of key players – that’s how it works, in the real world – not the affirmative action nirvana you think you inhabit. Whining about this after the fact makes you look immature & naive.
Now go & ask someone to translate the above for you & think very seriously about issuing an apology to the players, management & nation you have offended by outing yourself as nothing more than a half-baked, aspiring despot that Africa has little use for in the 21st century.
Yours Sincerely,
Matthew Hamilton
PS: If your office really seeks to be part of the “social media era” I’d suggest updating your website’s news section more than twice per year. "
