TWEEPS NOT HAPPY WITH NEW SQUAD However, Twitter users were not happy with the decision to have Anele and Ayanda join the sports channel.
I love Anele but this recycling situation is not ayoba. There's unearthed talent out there waiting and deserving of opportunities, one tweep said.
Another tweep asked: Why can't sport be presided over by people in sport and not slay queens?
