There's no substitute for education. For as long as our soccer players
shun education, they'll continue to live below poverty live the moment
they retire. Their lack of education also leads them into thinking that
they are celebrities and end up living reckless lives that celebrities
are known for. Working for defunct Vista University I admired former
professional footballers in Ntsie Maphike, Chris Molebatsi and Bernard
'Shoes' Lushozi who came to the library to study and do their
assignments. In one incident, Kaizer Chiefs were playing against Michau
Warriors in PE mid-week and they only came back early the following
morning. Ntsie came to the library to study and slept on the table the
whole day as he was in no condition to study, but he came all the same.
We nearly locked him in the library when we knocked off but for hawk
eyed colleague we saw just in time. I am happy to report that all 3
gentlemen finished their studies and graduated accordingly.
