Memories of village football
Isdore Guvamombe Reflections
Back in the village in the land of milk, honey and dust or Guruve elders with cotton tuft heads say a bird does not sing because it has an answer, but because it has a song. This villager likes the game of football. And, so do others, who despite, their inability even to kick a stationary ball, talk and write football more than the players themselves. Talking football and playing football are far too different domains.
The village soothsayer, the ageless autochthon of wisdom and knowledge, says many soccer supporters can hardly kick a stationary ball and yet, the irony of it, is that they play the ball better in their minds.
That is the beauty of human imagination and aspirations. Do elders not say men trip and fall on molehills than on mountains? Who has ever been tripped by a mountain?
This villager, grew up deep in the then Sipolilo Tribal Trust Lands where there was only one sporting discipline that mattered — football.
