In the last two months, South Africans have seriously taken note of your presence. You hear them proclaiming in slang:

‘Those AmaTuks boys play a beautiful soccer. They will lash you.’
‘Daai AmaTuks laatitjies speel lekker. Hulle sal jou n kishou slaan’
‘Bašemane ba AmaTuks ba bapala / raloka / tshameka bolo e nxa.. Ba tla go betha / shapa / shaya.’

All these people know that AmaTuks never throw in the towel. The team is an inspiration to all of us. You have the full support of many loyal supporters across the nation.

Do what you are renowned for, namely: “Guts, Gusto and a Never-die Spirit”.

Bring the Cup home! Good luck!”
