Kasi people are known for their love for soccer to the extent that they normally play street soccer and that drew the attention of Mosiapoa to want to mentor them more about the sporting code.
“I really love soccer more than what I have studied. Through soccer I can really get to showcase my talent and to be honest it completes me,” said Mosiapoa.
In 2010 the football lover decided not to look for a job because he believed football was his career. Bash Bash said during his College days he used to travel from Mahikeng to Gauteng every weekend to play and coach soccer and would go back to school on Monday morning.
“Soccer is my passion and it is what I love. If someone would ask me to choose between soccer and my qualification I would definitely choose my first love which is football,” said Mosiapoa.
Even though the Diski fanatic knew that it was near impossible to get sponsors because they were marginalized, he would travel endlessly to coach the local residents for their street soccer.
COVID-19 had a huge impact on the world at large and this includes the sporting realm. During level 5 of the pandemic, every kind of sport was banned and players could not take part in what they love the most.
“It affected me because I could not keep fit by training and playing.COVID-19 also affected me financially because soccer was my stream of income and because we could not play it meant no salary and in that way, I was forced to alter my spending and lifestyle,” said Mosiapoa
He said it is still difficult to this day because players are still hesitant to go out and do what they love most.
Mosiapoa says that this pandemic has affected the sporting domain but believes that everything will gradually go back to normal as there are signs of hope with the players returning to playing soccer.
