Thulani Serero, right, with his agent Mike Ntombela, the former Mamelodi Sundowns star |
HERE IS THE FULL TEXT OF THULANI SERERO’S RESPONSE TO BEING
SENT HOME BY SOUTH AFRICA BEFORE BAFANA’S WORLD CUP QUALIFIER AGAINST BOTSWANA
ON SATURDAY:
"I will never turn my back on my country. I’m what I am
today because of the continued support I get from various people in South
Africa.
"I would not have travelled to Durban from Holland if I
did not want to play. The truth of the matter is that I started feeling an excruciating
pain after Wednesday’s training.
“Later in the evening, I went to coach Gordon to explain to
him that I suspected my niggling groin problem was coming back. It was the same
pain I felt when I was out of action for several months last year.
"I love South Africa and will always be available to
play for Bafana Bafana. I also do not choose games.
"I will never do such a thing. I have played for Bafana
in the past ahead of Champions League games. The other thing is: I’m not the
coach, so there is no guarantee I will play."
The question neither Ntombela nor Serero address in this prepared statement is: Will Thulani return home to tell Ajax he felt "excruciating pain" while training in Durban, thus risking his place against Barcelona on September 18?
