Yes, I repeat with conviction and my chest proudly out-in the world.
The long range shot goal by Hlompho- his name meaning ‘respect’ against Cameroon, during the CAF Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Yaounde, has pitted the hard tackling SA star alongside the world’s best Neymar and teammate Messi and Gaspar, just to mention the three.
FIFA whittled the number from thousands of world’s best goals to 10, and voila Kekana’s goal was selected.
Now you have an even tougher challenge – choosing one which you believe is worthy of succeeding Wendell Lira’s remarkable goal that scooped the 2015 award.
And of course, Kekana should be the one, if only his fellow South Africans (entire 50million + population) to vote by visiting the FIFA website and click under Kekana. I did, so did my staff members.
“I’m honoured and this shows the job we’re doing has gone unrecognized,” said the CAF Champ Gold medal winner.
Asked if he anticipated taking that screamer of a goal, the soft speaking but tough in terms of body posture Kekana said, yes, with confidence in response to Robert Marawa during interview on MetroFM sport show.
“The message here is simple take your job very serious and hard work does pay dividends. It doesn’t mean when playing in poor state anywhere in the world, your work is not being recognised or followed. I have learnt from now onwards to keep doing my job because God has offered me this opportunity.”
So, its your turn our brothers and sisters, please…
December 2 2016, will be the date to see if Kekana makes the final three to make it to the finals in January 2017.
Get voting folks. After all the political instability, fees protests, firing and hiring of Ministers, water shortage and all that, we deserve a smile on our faces and this is an opportunity, asseblief tog!
