Mbombela Mayor presenting gifts to the Black Stars team
By AMeenu Shardow
Mayor of Mbombela Catherine Dhlamini visited the Black Stars ahead of the crucial semi-final match against Burkina Faso on Wednesday.
The Mayor offered words of encouragement to the Ghana team after the evening training session on Tuesday at the Iguemanya Sport Resort – where the team has been based since arriving from Port Elizabeth on Monday.
Hon. Dhlamini wished the team good luck even beyound the semi-final match and requested the Black Stars return to Mbombela with the Nations Cup trophy after achieving success in the grand finale before heading back home.
“When you win on Sunday (grand finale), before you go to Ghana, you come here and present the trophy before you go to Ghana,” she told the players after the final training session.
She also adviced the players who are playing outside Africa to return with their foreign earned income to develop the continent.
“Whatever little money that you get there, please come back to Africa and invest,” she added.
“I am not talking about big investment. The house that you build at homes means development in Africa.
“So we are looking upon you, you are our future leaders. Please do remember that Africa needs development and we are depending on you.”
The Mayor later on presented gifts to each member of the Ghana team – a gesture which was well received and appreciated by the Ghana contingent.

the white man is more corrupt than the black man,the only different is,he keeps his corrupt money in his country,2 help build his country,whiles the black man keeps his corrupt money in the white mans country 2 help build the white mans country
so dickhead,u go n give ur money to the white man’s bank,whiles ur people suffer,idiot.
coach KWESI APPIAH should tell the players to be very mindful of game rather than complaining of the pitch.I think the organisers did not do well with this pitch at all and also was pres.K Nyantakyi not aware until today?

@Kweku, I will not blame you.
@Kweku, ur senseless ape, typical inferiority complex Gaynaian sorry Ghanaian. Eric Amoateng, a Ghanaian MP is languishing in USA prison for drug trafficking. 80% Ghana MPs are drug baron including that short baboon Nana Akufu Ado.

Nigeria Don start again oo! just because you played well against ivory coast means you guys should raise mouth on Ghanaians. something you haven’t done for over 10years. Well we are all going to see!
GHANA WILL FALL TODAY BEFORE BURKINA FASO
These criminal nigerians should stop this idiotic behaviour. They think by so doing, they can easily convince us to expode our account numbers. No..Go convince the bokoharam or whateva they call themselve to stop distroying their filty country. The only country in africa where u can hear a name like ‘bomb’. No wonder rich nigerians are running to ghana.
