TAKING RESPONSIBILITY It is all too easy to accept positions of power and then abrogate the responsibility that comes with it. This is all too often the characteristic of leadership in South African football. Kirsten Nematandani, facing a hefty fine and ban from football from FIFA, insists he is innocent of the accusations of match-fixing prior to the 2010 World Cup. But that is not what he stands accused of. He is being prosecuted because he was at the head of a rotten organisation and his minions felt emboldened enough, under his watch, to make deals with dubious dealing agents to organise matches for Bafana Bafana that ultimately turned out to have been fixed. Nematandani might not have known of the fiddle, but as leader he carries the can. South Africa, indeed world football, was embarrassed under his leadership. Sitting in an ivory tower and not being on top of the workings of your own organisation is negligent, foolhardy and dangerous, as the former SAFA president, is likely to soon find out when he is banished to the soccer wilderness. Shakes Mashaba is another who shifts the blame. Bafana cannot score, but it is not his fault, he says, even though he is picking the team. Rather, he believes his side is suffering from the same affliction that has befallen all other South African sides in front of goal. What can I do in just a few days, he all too frequently laments. Fix it, I say! Mashaba collects a good salary and sits in a position of prestige. He is our national coach, after all. He should not be telling us that to score is impossible he should be going about finding a solution to the problem of Bafana putting the ball in the net. To take the post is to accept the responsibility that comes with it and all those in powerful positions in the domestic game would do well to remind themselves of this every so often. Mark Gleeson, Acting Editor Zola Doda left our office after 17 years of service last month. He was a KICK OFF fan before he worked at the magazine and kept up the enthusiasm of a loyal reader throughout his lengthy spell at the title. He served as editor in his final months only the third this magazine has ever had in 22 years and produced some sterling editions. Now he has gone on to new challenges, for which we wish him all the best. It will feel strange for him to read this magazine, a rare one he did not work on. But we hope he enjoys it, just as he did all the others. PICTURES BY LEE WARREN / GALLO IMAGES(1) COMPETITION AND GIVEAWAY RULES 1.
