The sweet revenge for Amakhosi

By: Wilson Mmako

Yesterday in Polokwane, Peter Mokaba Stadium fans came in numbers between Chiefs and Platinum stars.

The Naturena boys made a dramatic come back winning 1-0 against the Dikwena,in an ABSA premier league. Amakhosi started like a house in fire attacking Dikwena from the first whistle, with Bernad parker sending a thunderous shot but denied by the cross bar.Amakhosi kept on pushing from their right and left wings, they squandered many chances with Lehlogonolo Majoro missing a free header.

Dikwena was under pressure as they failed to unsettle their opponents for the entire first half. Joseph Malongoane nearly scored.they were caught off guard by chiefs when Lucky Baloyi headed home a nice from corner kick at additional time of the first half.

In the second half the sparks were lacking which allowed the stars to come back to the game,possession wise only,stars midfielder Thabo Malongoane almost punished Amakhosi with a well taken free kick.It was one of those for stars  supporters who were  frustrated not knowing who to blame for the poor perfomance.The win will give Naturena boys a boast ahead of their premiership clash with Maritzburg on Tuesday at 19h30 at Nelson Mandela bay stadium.

THE SON OF AFRICA GREATEST MAN, KHAMIS GADDAFI

Khamis al-Gaddafi 27 May 1983 is the seventh and youngest son of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, and the military commander in charge of the Khamis Brigade which was regarded as one of the well trained and armed divisions of Libyan Army. He is part of his father's inner circle.

Childhood experiences

At the age of three, Khamis Gaddafi was injured in the 15 April 1986 United States bombing of Libya, suffering head injuries when the Bab al-Azizia military compound was attacked in retaliation for the 1986 Berlin discotheque bombing^.

EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND

He graduated from the military academy in Tripoli, receiving a bachelor’s degree in military arts and science, further graduating from the Frunze Military Academy in Moscow and the Academy of the General Staff Academy of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

In April 2010, he began a masters degree at the IE Business School formerly known as Instituto de Empresa, in Madrid. However, he was expelled by the institution in March 2011 for "his links to the attacks against the Libyan population".
In early 2011, Gaddafi worked as an intern at AECOM Technology Corporation. According to Paul Gennaro, AECOM's Senior Vice President for Global Communications, Gaddafi was touring the United States in February 2011 as part of his internship, including visiting military sites and landmarks. This trip was cut short on 17 February after the Libyan uprising began, and Gaddafi returned to Libya. U.S. government officials later denied any role in planning, advising or paying for the trip.
The rebels claimed to have killed him several times but that seemed to be untrue and up to this day no one knows where he is?

THE MTN8 THE TREASURE OF SA SOCCER

The stage was set and it was up to players to showcase their talent, with FNB Stadium almost packed to full capacity the two Soweto giants did live up to the fans expectations. Those who were saying the derby has lost its spark are wrong after what I’ve seen on Sartuday.

Amakhosi started like a house on firewith playeres like Reneilwe Letsholonyane and middle field king pin Tinashe “washington” Nengomasha tormenting Pirates donones, Oupa manyisa and Andile Jali. they were making brilliant passes towards Bucs  goal posts in the first fifteen  minutes of the game  but again failed to unsettle Moeneeb Joseph as they were firing blanks. The Pirates duo of Manyisa and Jali never gave up they had resilience mentality while Zebra was galloping all over the field, the first half failed to produce results for both teams.

While pirates was under pressure,Segolela managed to take a shot at thirty three minutes but it was not even dangerous to Khune,that kind of shot was necessary for Morne steyn and crew in Newzealand. After second half Bucs came up blazing, with BONGANI Ndulula as a substitute for Ndumiso Mabena who looked harmless through the game. Ndulula did live up to his big nick name of “Drogba” scoring a goal at first minute of additional time.

He was denied an opportunity to celebrate his goal as refree claimed that he pushed Erwin Isaacs,that did not deter the defending champions to push forward for another goal in the extra time.It was none other than the giant killer Manyisa who volleyed home a solitary goal which made the Bucs family happy people again on the day. The buccaneers finished the game on a high note, also their coach Jairo Leal was over the moon than his rival Vladimir Vermozovic who was sad for losing again. The chairman of the Pirates must have been happy after his boys started where they left  last season with their collection of treasures .the question is will the ghost they take another cups this season?.    

WESTERN POWERS BOMBARD LIBYA

Western powers had overstepped their line of protecting civilians in Libya.The imperialists are busy bombing Tripoli day and night in support of the rebels in Benghazi.These countries Britain,USA and France are believing that peace can be brought by force, not knowing that when they apply the force they will be reaction from people in the continent and around the world.These countries under NATO mission have gone too far beyond the resolution act of 1973.They imposed no fly zone which was successful but they are now bombing Tripoli.

In the beginning they said they were not targeting Gaddafi but there were recent explosions weeks back that killed,one of his sons and three grandchildren in their home.The sitiuation is bad but western powers make it worse and African Union is not barking enough to find a speedy solution, concerning one of its long time members.Libya helped many governments in the continent in a fight agaist colonialism and also paid for membership of other African countries which did not have money to pay in AU. If AU is unable to act quickly some Africans will percieve it as "African cowardice Union".They should not fear to stand agaist these rich and arrogant countries.It has been three months rebels and forces loyal to gaddafi fighting but its never to late for AU to act,Libya should not be forsaken. African leaders should not be myopic to act agaist the transgression of the west in the continent.
