"I don't feel I have something to prove this season even though people said last season, I took over a team that was already winning. It's the same in SA cos people said there were others coaching Sundowns when I was there" - Pitso Mosimane on #SAFMSportOn#PitsoOnSAFM
"Look at Chiefs, Baxter took over in the final even though Zwane took them from semis to the final , but there was no guarantee he would win it. He didn't win it. Now I have won 5 trophies here and bronze at FIFA Club World Cup"
"Chiefs said there was a suprise and we had to find the surprise.I called Home Affairs to find out if Baxter had a work permit.I knew he was on the bench.I knew Billiat would play. When we saw the pics in training on social media.We knew those with bibs would start and they did"
"The main difference between Egyptian League and PSL is technical and discipline. At my previous club I had to have breathalyzer.I'm not saying here they don't drink, but they're disciplined.There is no going to shisanyamas here and night clubs. They know they play for a big club
"I'd like a South African player to come here, but I don't want to ruffle feathers. I want to do it the right way. You know what happened with Sirino. They said I'm stripping my former team, even though Ahly wanted him before I came here"
"I accept the apology from Sundowns fans cos I know it wasn't them. They were sent to attack me by people inside the club.. It's a sad story between me and Sundowns. I speak proudly of them. I thought they would do the same thing. It hurts me. I can't even go have tea there now"

Someone asked for a thread of some of the testimonies I played on air this week from the TRC of SA Cricket - #SJNHearings
"At the Proteas, we were discriminated against on the basis of colour. If you look at the bench, it was always black players sitting out"-Spinner Eddie Leie
"When I was on tour in India I didn't play, I thought I would get a chance at the WC and I didn't. I really thought there was something wrong with me. They also wouldn't play me and Phangiso (two black spinners) at the same time, even in Durban where conditions are favourable"
"Even my mama asks me...My son, is it because we are poor that they didn't give you chances to play. She asked because these days, she sees that Bavuma, Ngidi, Rabada who went to private schools are at least getting chances"
Former Chairman of Wits University for 25 years, Raymond Hack on the sale: "Probably the saddest day I've ever experienced in football. I still can't get over it, the manner in which it was done. There was no thought . Wits was turning 100. There's no club in SA with that history
"When I think of players the club has produced, yesteryear/current players, its heartbreaking.When we established Wits as a professional club,we did it in a way that the University would never lose control.We made it into a Section 21 company.Only a portion was sold to sponsors.
"At the time they had 49 percent and the University always had 51 percent. I don't know how it happened because now Bidvest ended up with 60 percent and the University with 40 percent. Bidvest now controlled the budget, controlled everything"
