I call on Orlando Pirates not to play the friendly match against Israeli team Maccabi Tel Aviv tomorrow during their warm-up camp in Spain.
Pirates, Palestinians are our historic allies. Israel is an apartheid, racist state. You cannot associate with an apartheid state.
Pirates, forsake the millions of rand you are going to rake into your coffers. If you persist and play against Maccabi Tel Aviv, keen admirers like me will no longer be associated with the club. For once, do the right thing and walk away from this match.
Pirates represent SA, and as one of the oldest soccer teams in the country, they must do the right thing and lead by example. Down with apartheid Israel down!
