Luxolo Badi wa le Pirates. I now understand why Miguel Cardoso was also furious last night. South African football is slowly dying because of corruption.

LUXOLO BADI SHOULD NEVER REFEREE PIRATES GAMES
A basic legal principle: no one should be a judge in their own cause. Nemo iudex in causa sua.
A referee is a judge on the football field. Impartiality is therefore essential.
In President of the Republic of South Africa v SARFU 1999 (4) SA 147 (CC), the Constitutional Court recognised the test of reasonable apprehension of bias. Actual bias need not be proved; the question is whether a reasonable, informed person would apprehend a lack of impartiality.
Apply that principle to Luxolo Badi.
Social media posts attributed to an account bearing his name contain Pirates-related messages, including βup da bucksβ.
Yesterday's Soweto Derby added fuel to the controversy. Chiefs questioned Mbuthuma's opening goal, an alleged missed second yellow card for Simphiwe Selepe and other refereeing decisions. Chiefs coach Fernando Da Cruz felt Pirates had effectively played with 12 men.
I am not accusing Badi of cheating. But football cannot ignore the appearance of potential conflicts of interest.
CONCLUSION
Safa needs a transparent disclosure and recusal policy. My position is simple: Luxolo Badi should not referee Orlando Pirates games.
The integrity of football depends not only on impartial decisions, but also on public confidence in those making them.

Dear @SAFA_net
Suspend Luxolo Badi with immediate effect.
He's an Orlando Pirates fan

I don't think we appreciate Mamelodi Sundowns enough as a country. Such beautiful football, without favours from the likes of Luxolo Badi.

Kaizer Chiefs coach Fernando Da Cruz didn't hold back after their 2-1 Soweto Derby defeat, claiming the match officiating heavily favoured Orlando Pirates.

Expecting Kaizer Chiefs to beat Orlando Pirates is like expecting Orlando Pirates to beat Mamelodi Sundowns.

"We have to accept we are the favourites (being the reigning champions), but to be favourites does not mean you are going to win.
"It's up to us to come with a lot of energy."

Mamelodi Sundowns have never knocked Orlando Pirates out of the CAF Champions League, but suddenly, with Sundowns out of the competition, Pirates fans are acting like the trophy is already theirs. ππ
BABA MTHETHWA STRIKES AGAIN
Veteran footballer commentator, Baba Mthethwa has made another bold prediction - Orlando Pirates to win the #BetwayPremiership and the CAF Champions League.

I have a strong feeling weβd still be in the CAF Champions League if Mr Cleansheets had started last Friday. He made some great saves and kept a clean sheet away from home, only for Cardoso to start with our open net in the return leg and leave us exposed.
The rest is history.

His analysis always spot on.
The defence is focused on trying to discredit Detective Sandersβs expertise instead of challenging or trying to prove that it is not their clients seeing in camera.
