GettySlowly our coach is getting it right, we just need to fix our CB but future looks good. If Mofokeng never gets to wear the no.10 jersey then Dr Khoza and Jomo Sono should just permanently retire that number and let new players create their own legacy with new numbers going forward. - Khulu Khumalo
