FROM disinterest days before, Afcon kick off to a huge surge in ticket sales? Me thinks that government has gone on a buying spree!

ONE word to describe Bafana’s performance in their opening game, woeful.

SABC seems obsessed with the word "only”. We are more at home with Supersport quality coverage and commentary. Be more realistic with Afcon matters please.

GIVING away free tickets can’t fill stadium. What a flop.

WILL someone please show Bafana where the goal posts are, and how a goal is scored?

I BET a side made up of youngsters from the Cape Flats will run rings around pathetic Bafana Bafana.

JUST let soccer players get a good rugby tackle, they will then have reason to roll around on the ground!

AFCON, what a joke, tried to buy 30 tickets for my staff, given the run around looking for 5 IDs.

PRESIDENT Jacob Zuma, you say looking after your is dog is white culture. Why then the interest in soccer? Surely that comes from white culture?

HATS off to EP Cricket president. Good on you to thank the cricket supporters for both recent international matches in PE.

SABC and Cricket SA, please do not inflict Makhaya Ntini on us as a commentator. Those we have are bad enough, but Ntini is the pits! What did he mean by "there is no heavy score to go and chase for them”?

LISTENING to Mike Haysman and Kepler Wessels, you hear no real commentary, just their "EXPERT” opinions.

AB de Villiers suspension – do our coaching staff not keep track of timekeeping by Proteas or do they spend time sleeping?

NEW ZEALAND’S Jeetan Patel is not just a tight bowler, but his fielding – every throw is pinpoint, right over the stumps!

HORRIFYING. She deserved a chance to live through adoption.

WHAT’S the point? Rhino poachers out on R5000 bail, murderers get bail. Big failure!

MARK Wiggett, you made my day! I loved your sketch on Eastern Cape Health Department.

FLOYD’S Call – best spot-on column in years!

BATTERED woman withdraws charges: it just doesn’t make sense. Makes one wonder if she has not been threatened and now afraid of retaliation.

BRENT Cunningham’s jealousy is going to kill Shireen Ballan and to think that she should know better, due to the age gap between the two of them.

THE courts should charge and jail him.

WE so called "human beings” have destroyed the earth by plundering and enriching ourselves, hence the climate change. The wrath of God!
