The dismissal of Joel Santana as Bafana Bafana Coach on monday the 19th of October 2009 came as a vindication for Walter Mokoena who almost lost his job for his comments about Santana just over 3 months ago.
It was after a game with Iran, Bafana Bafana has just managed a goalless draw, SABC TV Sport host Walter Mokoena called for the removal of Joel Santana and his captain Aaron Mokoena. He repeated his comments through the editorial of his soccer publication called Football and at that point SABC decided to suspend him. Bafana Bafana went on to loose 6 games after Mokoena's comments before managing a win against Madagascar which was followed by the recent 2 game loss against Norway and Iceland.
It took 6 Bafana Bafana losses for South Africans to finally feel the panic at Santana's charges something Walter Mokoena identified earlier.
Although there are still questions of whether we have capable players to compete with the best of the world, the removal of Santana clearly indicates dicontent with his coaching abilities.

I konw I haven't written quiet a while, its a long story which I'll write about in future.
Looking forward hearing your views.

Walter's job was not to make analysis it was to ask questions. He should have saved his outbursts and opinions to the "experts" and his publication.

That is the point. Most people saw that Santa needed to leave, so there was nothing special that Walter said. he just chose the wrong time to say it. Qha

We have discussed this i think

@ nice I started preparing myself for this after hearing gore Santana was fired/resigned. It was very obvious that SAFA was gonna put him back. I hope is for the good because if he doesnt deliver he will be eaten alive by Sasafricans.

(I think this was a dialogue between Perrera and Santana)

Perrera: dude stop sitting around and starving in Brazil, there's a place in Africa with plenty of moola and the football association is a bunch of retards who will pay you whatever you want and believe whatever you say.
Santana: how much are we talking about?
Pererra: around R1.5 mil a month....
Santana: You lie....get out of here! I thought Africa was a third world continent?
Parerra: Yep thats what I thought too, but hey these guys are nut case, they are so gullible its not funny, and they think they are rich..
Santana: you getting me excited now, but how will I get my hands on those riches?
Parerra: mmmmmhhh..... how well do you know soccer cousin? because i was thinkin you can come take my place as a coach of their national team, i miss home now and I've had my share already..
Santana: I watch it every now and then.
Parrera: Ahhhh, thats enough.. we can even say you've coached a small local team before and I will recommend you cousin...
Santana: man we talking about a national team here, not just any local team!!
Parrera: Dont worry cousin leave all that to me, I told you thats a banana republic.
Santana: But dont you have a contract with them already?
Parrera: So what? I can always say my wife is sick and needs my support..
Santana: oh one last thing.... I just met this woman I really like her, I cant just cant leave here..
Parrera: Can she speak English?
Santana: She watches Santa Babra and she said to me this morning "happy morning"
Parrera: Great!!! she can go to SA with you.. we'll say she's your interpreter, she can also earn some money from SAFA.
Santana: you kidding me... it this country soo bad?
Parrera: a circus I tell you...
Santana: what if I want to come back home before my contract expires?
Parrera: dont worry you will not stay there for long, no one ever does, the team loses all the time and the public blames the coach...
Santana: so these guys cant even play?
Perrera: come watch this video... you see this weakest link? "Aron Mokeona the gate way" he is the captain. should I say more?
Santana: hahahahaha... let me go do my visa and passport right away.
