Mandla Ncikazi Slams Treatment Orlando Pirates Received in Tanzania!

Mandla Ncikazi Slams Treatment Orlando Pirates Received in Tanzania! The Buccaneers lost in Africa last weekend.

Orlando Pirates lost 1-0 away to Simba SC in the CAF Confederations Cup on Sunday night. Co-coach Mandla Ncikazi was infuriated by the treatment they received in the country.

The hosts won courtesy of a penalty awarded to them after Happy Jele was adjudged to have committed a foul in the box.

“I don’t think we deserved to lose,” an angry Ncikazi said post-match.

“As Africans let us change this mentality when teams come to Tanzania you are so hostile to them that you treat them like animals.

“So inhumane, everywhere we go, you are treated so badly, and this is a game of sport that should unite us.

“But what you get here is hostility and abuse. Secondly, the rules said VAR should be in use, but VAR was not used today.

“Go and check, the penalty that Simba got was not a penalty, because our defender got to the ball first.

“Secondly, before Simba were awarded a penalty, we should have been awarded a penalty, but it was not given.

“The referee does not even have the decency to go and check VAR. All of a sudden VAR was switched off.” He spoke.

“But why do Africans do this to other Africans,” a furious Ncikazi added.

“Do you really think the hostility we get here, then when Simba come to South Africa should we treat them that way?

“Is that what you expect?

“All of you here [media] are going to write lies, write the truth that Simba did not deserve to win. The penalty they got was not a penalty. The penalty we should have got was not given.

“VAR was not working, the treatment that we are getting from the stadium, hotel, and airport, why do you do this as Africans to other Africans.

“Are we going to improve the football on our continent if this happens and you are proud that Simba won?

“They did not win, the referee made them win. You should be ashamed of yourself as Africans.

“But listen to this, we are going to treat Simba with decency when they come to South Africa. We are going to show what is being a true African.

“By giving them the best hospitality and treating them like human beings. You do not treat visitors the way we got treated here.

“You should all be ashamed. We did not deserve to lose, the ref cost us to lose.” He complained.

The Bucs have it all to do in the second leg next week. Mandla Ncikazi Slams Treatment Orlando Pirates Received in Tanzania!
