Last week, Mosimame encouraged SA football coaches to draw inspiration from himself‚ comedian Trevor Noah and DJ Black Coffee, saying they should not settle for less.
“I come from humble beginnings. I come from the township. I want to say to a township boy that it is possible. That’s what Trevor Noah is doing‚ that’s what Black Coffee is doing‚ and that’s what a lot of guys are showing,” he said.
“[It’s about] black excellence and that we can come from humble beginnings. Let’s not settle only for‚ you’ve [SA media] got a term that you use, ‘amabinneplaas’ [locally based]. Let’s look beyond the borders.”
