Owayengumdlali wamaBhokobhoko UBryan Habana unxuse abasubathi abasezingeni eliphezulu kuwo wonke amakhodi ukuthi bacabangele ikusasa labo ngemuva kokuphela kwemisebenzi yabo, bakhuthaze imfundo kanye nokuqwashisa ngezimali isikhathi eside emzamweni wokuqeda ubumpofu bezihlabani zezemidlalo zendawo.
Habana, inganekwane ka Umbhoxo waseNingizimu Afrika oshaye ama-try angu-67 kuma-Test angu-124 kumaBoks, unxuse abasubathi abakhokhelwayo ukuthi bacabangele ukuthi ikusasa labo likuphi uma sebethatha umhlalaphansi emiqhudelwaneni emikhulu.
Ngokwezibalo, abasubathi kumakhodi amaningi bathatha umhlalaphansi besebancane kakhulu kunabantu abakwezinye izimboni.
‘Ngaphansi kwengcindezi yezimali’
Umdlali ojwayelekile wePremier Soccer League uphothulwe eneminyaka engu-28, futhi ngokusho kuka Ezemidlalo IllustratedU-78% wabadlali be-NFL gridiron “baphelelwe imali noma bangaphansi kwengcindezi yezezimali” phakathi neminyaka emibili yokuthatha umhlalaphansi:
Ngokuvumelana ne I-Rugby Pass: “Uma kwenzeka umdlali engadlali ezweni lakhe kodwa akwazi ukonga ingxenye yomholo wakhe eminyakeni eyisishiyagalombili (R800 000 ngonyaka), uzophelelwa yimali ngaphambi kokuba ahlanganise iminyaka engu-40”.
Emzamweni wokulwa naleli zinga lobubha kwababeyisihlabani sezemidlalo, inkampani kaHabana (MatchKit) isimemezele ubudlelwano bayo obunqamula imingcele neGlobal Institute of Sport (GIS) ukuze kuhlonyiswe abasubathi ngamathuba emfundo ukuze bazithuthukise ngamakhono.
“Imfundo ibiyisisekelo somsebenzi wami webhola lombhoxo okhokhelwayo,” kusho uHabana ngoLwesithathu.
“Inamandla okwandisa ulwazi lomsubathi ngempilo yakhe ngemuva kwemidlalo ekhokhelwayo, futhi siyajabula ukukwazi ukuhlinzeka ngala mathuba ayingqayizivele kubasubathi bethu ngokubambisana kwethu kwe-GIS.”
FUNDA FUTHI: U-Eben Etzebeth ushaye ama-Test angu-100, kodwa obani amanye ama-Boks ayisithupha ohlwini?
USharona Friedman, umongameli weGIS, uthe bakujabulele ukuhlanganyela neMatchKit emzamweni oqhubekayo wokubhekana nale nkinga esabalele.
“Siyajabula ukukwazi ukweseka i-MatchKit emsebenzini wabo wokuhlinzeka ngamathuba angcono kubasubathi ngaphandle kwenkundla,” kusho uFriedman.
“Abasubathi abakhetha ukufunda ne-GIS bazojoyina umphakathi wethu onabafundi abayizi-6,000 kanye nabafundi besikhathi esidlule okuhlanganisa nabaningi abaqeqeshiwe bezemidlalo abavela emazweni ahlukahlukene.
“Inhloso yethu wukubanikeza amathuluzi okuhola imisebenzi egculisayo nephumelelayo kwezemidlalo ukwedlula izinsuku zabo zokudlala.”
Ngalobu budlelwano obusha, abasubathi be-MatchKit bazothola ukufinyelela kokuqukethwe kobuholi obukhethekile kanye nezindlela eziya emfundweni yezemidlalo ehlelekile ne-GIS.
