Simba SC Condemns Mandla Ncikazi and The Comments He Made! This follows the events of the past weekend.
Mandla Ncikazi claimed that Tanzania and Simba SC treated them as “animals”. The club has rebuked these comments and the Orlando Pirates coach.
After their 1-0 defeat to the Tanzanian outfit in the CAF Confederations Cup on Sunday, Mandla Ncikazi claimed that Simba SC treated the Orlando Pirates camp like animals.
He also went on to complain about the refereeing exhibited on the night.
“We condemn the unprofessionalism and unethical behaviour by coach Ncikazi through his remarks. As the host team, we will not tolerate slander of that kind against our country and club. As Tanzanians, we pride ourselves on providing a safe and secure environment for all activities and ensure a high standard of service is provided to all our guests.
“As their opponents we were deeply puzzled by the strange behaviour of Pirates since their arrival in Tanzania. All friendly gestures accorded to them were openly denied, starting with the vehicles provided for their logistics, and the suggested hotels near the stadium.
“In addition, Pirates arrived more than an hour late to the official training session set by CAF, yet stadium officials were kind to accommodate them, despite their deliberate choice to stay a far distance from the stadium (out of town). Most strangely, the peculiar decision to use the unofficial entry to the stadium dressing rooms via the media room. This is not how mega-clubs conduct themselves and for that they must accept all responsibility for their own actions that resulted in poor choices made since their arrival into Tanzania, despite receiving prior friendly advice from Simba.” The statement went on to read.
