Aaron Mokoena is just not cut out for Bafana, period!

I’m not usually the one to have a go at players, but this one player is just begging me to do it. Of course that’s none other than Bafana captain, Aaron ‘Mbazo’ Mokoena. With 2010 around the corner, I think I have the right to be concerned. This guy is always found suspect when Bafana Bafana [...]
