He must be reprimanded. Unbelievable. Don\u2019t use our jersey to promote EFF. Do it at your leisure time,\u201d Mbalula stated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a subsequent message, Mbalula referred to the occurrence as \u201ca calculated move\u201d that was \u201cdeliberate and intentional,\u201d pointing out that there was no similar support shown during Sundowns&#8217; victory in the CAF Champions League. He reiterated that while players are entitled to support any political entity privately, they should not \u201cabuse the national team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These remarks have ignited a vigorous political dialogue, with the EFF responding robustly. EFF spokesperson Sinawo Thambo came to Mokoena&#8217;s defense, labeling Mbalula&#8217;s comments as \u201cgenerational jealousy\u201d and political interference, insisting that the player \u201cmust not be intimidated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sports Minister Gayton McKenzie has also intervened, supporting the notion that political loyalties should not intersect with national team responsibilities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of now, there has been no official response from SAFA regarding Mbalula\u2019s request for disciplinary measures. This incident underscores the ongoing conflicts concerning the relationship between sports, politics, and national identity in South Africa.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"wedod-434707075\"
