U-Ria Ledwaba akaneme ‘ngokuhlukana’ kwezingqalabutho zebhola laseNingizimu Afrika futhi useshiye inselela kubadlali abafana noDoctor Khumalo.
U-Ria Ledwaba useneminyaka engaphezu kwamashumi amathathu ezinzile eqenjini likanobhutshuzwayo eNingizimu Afrika lapho azakhela khona igama ngokuphatha ngempumelelo iqembu lakhe eselingasekho, i-Ria Stars ngaphambi kokuba abe yiphini likamengameli weSafa. Iqembu lakhe lizale abadlali abafana noTeko Modise noLucky Lekgwathi, ubezimisele ukukhombisa amakhono akhe okuphatha emazingeni aphezulu ebhola laseMzansi.
ULedwaba wangenela isikhundla sobumengameli beSafa engqungqutheleni yokugcina yokukhetha ubuholi ngo-2022 lapho imizamo yakhe yokuketula uDanny Jordaan ingazange ithole ukwesekwa okukhulu. ULedwaba uthole amavoti angu-27 kwathi lowo osesikhundleni, uJordaan, wathola izithupha ezingu-186. UJordaan usehlandleni lakhe lesithathu kuSafa kanti uLedwaba unxuse abaqavile bebhola ukuthi babumbane baphonsele inselelo izikhundla eziphezulu.
Ukuphatha kweSafa okumanje ngaphansi kobuholi bukaJordaan kungene esimeni esibucayi kwezokuphatha, esihambisana nezinsolo zokukhwabanisa nokweba imali elinganiselwa ku-R1.3 million. “Ngeke ngithule ngizosukuma, angisukumi ngoba nginguRia Ledwaba, ngimele ibhola. nami futhi akufanele balwe impi efanayo nale engiyilwayo,” kusho uLedwaba.
“Emngcwabeni kaSiphiwe Mkhonza, obeyindodana yami ngoba edlalela iRia Stars – ubehlala lapho bengihlala khona futhi edlalela iqembu lami.

“Le nto yokuthi ningabumbani [ayilungile]. [Cabanga] nje, Dokotela, ubizelwa ehhovisi wabuzwa, ‘ngitshele ukuthi ufuna siphi isikhundla, yiliphi iqembu lesizwe ofuna ukuliqeqesha?’,” engeza.
Ingqungquthela yokukhetha ubuholi elandelayo yeSafa ihlelelwe u-2026 kanti njengoba iSafa ihoxisa incwadi yayo engasho lutho, eyavala uLedwaba kuyo yonke imidlalo yebhola engaphansi kwayo, akucaci noma izophinde izame ukwesula uJordaan. Angase afune ukweseka isilomo seBafana, Chiefs neLeeds United uLucas Radebe osanda kumemezela ukuthi useqokelwe kwesobumengameli weSafa.
Uma uRadebe ephumelela emkhankasweni wakhe wokukhethwa, uzoba ngumdlali webhola elikhokhelwayo wokuqala ukuba nesikhundla esiphezulu kule nhlangano.
