"I am @KaizerChiefs fan, but Rooi Mahamutsa is one of the prolific defenders at @orlandopirates and one of the club's legends. To mock him while playing in the dust pitches where he encourages young players to follow their dreams, it's wrong and shameful."

"We love Rooi, he played for @orlandopirates with heart and soul. The gentleman love the game I hope he gets to be given a role to younger players. Keep protecting our brand."

There is 'shooting your shot' and then there is SuperSport United striker Thamsanqa Gabuza.

Gabuza was spotted directing kisses in the direction of Royal AM's businesswoman and celebrity owner Shauwn 'MamKhize' Mkhize, during a DStv Premiership encounter on Tuesday evening, Sports Brief reported.

Gabuza had just equalised for the home side at the Lucas 'Masterpieces' Moripe Stadium in Atteridgeville in the 58th minute, when the moment occurred.

A tweet by one @Boromo_M showed photographs of Gabuza running towards a Royal AM contingent in the stands, with 'MaMamkhize' finding the funny side of things.
