Marawa and Collins in twitter rant over Mashaba

South Africans are really passionate about their sport, even our soccer anaylsits, journalists and commentators live and breathe it.


So, it’s quite understandable that there will be a lot of debate around the sport. Recently national team Bafana Bafana, came back from Afcon 2015 defeated, and as expected, national team coach Shakes Mashaba was expected to answer about the decisions he made.

He happened to appear on the popular sports show 083 Sports@6  hosted by Robert Marawa, fans were not impressed with the answers he gave, it seemed he was deliberately avoiding all the questions people wanted answered.

This didn’t sit well with the fans and columnist and blogger Neal Collins. Neal expressed his displeasure and what started out as a comment spiralled into a twitter brawl involving Robert Marawa, Neal Collins, Bareng-Batho Kortjaas and what seemed to be the whole sports journalist fraternity!

Things quickly descended to matters of race and appointments to meet each other man to man! What happened to playing nicely?

We guess the studs were up on this one!

Let’s see how the fight escalated:

Robert Marawa has since deleted his tweets to Neal. All we want to know is, how did these respected  men let it get this far?
