at times i tend to believe ukuthi these hooligans are rented to taint Bosso’s image. No one in his right may cause his club to suffer (paying fines and having points docked). Real sopporters know the consequencies of such behavior. Thina esithanda i Bosso we will never go that low. Imali iyahlupha – where will the get the money from? Don’t be harsh on the team
