THE BEAUTIFUL PICTURE:
The former etv sports reporter, Tshamano "Coach" Makhadi with the sports guru, Sipho "Da Cool Guy" Dzimba and the most prolific journalist and politician, Pule "Portash" Lechesa during their trip to The Mother City of Cape Town early this year in May. Who can forget that fun filled moment? I was really excited when I first heard that we will be going down to the Mother City. It is a norm that when a person goes to the place that they never been to they turn to have their own expectations about the place.I remember telling my parents, siblings, friends and some of the people who are close to me that we will be going to the city that I have never seen in person instead of viewing it on television or Internet. So many messages of best wishes filled my email's, Facebook inbox, Twitter and even my phone's sms.
Even though, the trip to that place takes all most more than 18 hours when you are using a bus, I wasn't bored as I was among the entertainers in the bus.By the way we were there through a vacation for the course that I enjoy doing the most.
Our beloved institution offered us that moment in a life time to go there. Reaching the beautiful city of Cape Town and also going to Robben Island was one of my life time's great experience. It is funny, but I do wish to share this with you.
Me and one of my friend, we didn't even hesitate to go to the sea while the rain was pouring and we even wanted to touch the water as there is a saying that when you touch the sea waters you are getting ride of your bad lucks.
Exactly, there are so many things that happened there that will never slip away from my lifetime memories.
Okay right!!
I think its time to talk about the beautiful game and other relevant staff in the Mother land of South Africa. "So let me blow the whistle"
Here we go!
In fact, what I really witnessed in the city of Cape Town is that the youth there is also passionate about the beautiful game that is soccer. As a person who doesn't like to stay in one place when I am in a particular community. I enjoyed to move around with an intention of knowing that place and also knowing the lifestyle of the people of that region.
There are so many youngsters there and majority of the people that I met in that place are passionate about life and also not forgetting that they are affluent as well. It is true with the love of football, I even gave myself an opportunity to go to Green Point stadium which was not far away from where we were residing.
The progress of the stadium is really astounding contrary to what I thought it would be. Some of the youngsters were playing soccer as well on the side of the construction as there are some open spaces there.
In fact there are so many things I can say, but let me leave it here as I know that I can even spend perhaps more than five hours elaborating more things.
Quite frankly, I wont forget our visit to the parliament and also an encouraging chart that I had with some of the South African top politicians and journalists. The most fanny thing was when we ask questions there as some of us were shy we turned to hide our shying colours by making some unreasonable jokes and even asking some controversial but also inspiring question, its a joke as some of my buddies will kill me after reading this column.
Anyway our dynamic politician Pule Lechesa earned himself a nickname after some off the record events that unfolded there. When I remember it very clear he was nicknamed Portash and since from then we are calling him either by his previous nickname or the one that he was given in Cape.
Last but not least a vote of thanks of encouragement also goes to our Mr Tshamano "Coach" Makhadi for always being with us.
I remember I spoke to him about the progress of the Green Point stadium. He also showed me one of the spot where he was standing when he cover a certain story in parliament the most interesting thing about it is that he was a hidden also a nice place of covering the story of that magnitude.
Hence, I said that I've got to leave it as it is I think there are so many words to say, but anyway...Thank you!
Heitha, Holla!
