Orlando Pirates Legend Jerry Sikhosana Slams Excessive 'Kasi Flava'

• Former Orlando Pirates man Jerry Sikhosana has slammed what he calls excessive kasi flava
• The legendary striker was speaking during the ongoing 2022 Philly's Games in Johannesburg
• One instance of this dazzling form of showboating went over the line, dividing many opinions

Orlando Pirates legend Jerry Sikhosana has expressed his frustration at excessive showboating at amateur football levels.

He was speaking in the wake of the ridiculous levels of kasi flava that have been on display, during the entertaining 2022 Philly's Games in Tembisa, northeast of Johannesburg.

Speaking to SuperSport, Sikhosana said he believes it comes down to the coaches.

"The seriousness of themselves leading a team and leading these young boys. If you stand there and allow what these boys are doing... earlier on today I came to watch Isithembiso playing against another team... I think they were leading by an aggregate of 6-1."

Sikhosana described a player getting the ball then emulating sleep, followed by all his teammates, which the Buccaneers legend felt disrespected the game itself.

"We can have jokes, but what was happening in the morning is something I cannot tolerate. I think it comes down to the coaches leading those teams and that's what does not sit well with me."

Sikhosana said what was important was unearthing the next Helman Mkhalele, Pollen Ndlanya or Jerry Sikhosana.

"So let's respect the game, and make sure that anybody who is seated out there with the opportunity to be broadcast live, is being watched and looked at. If they see what they see here, then they'll tell you 'we don't want to waste our time'."

Several township outfits are vying for the title of being the best in the Transvaal region. This reached a whole new level of ridiculousness during a last 16 second-leg encounter between Isithembiso and Phanda.

Leading 3-0 and ahead 6-1 on aggregate, the former team started a bizarre kasi flava sequence to concede a goal.
