A shocking exposé by the ‘Secret Footballer’ has unveiled a disturbing practice of bribery and corruption within South African football. According to the former player, a coach at Maritzburg United was allegedly paid a hefty sum to sign a striker from Free State Stars who had a dismal record of only three goals in 20 games. The player’s agent reportedly promised the coach a share of the signing fee, highlighting the deep-rooted corruption that has infiltrated the sport. The source claims that such practices are widespread, leading to the signing of players based on connections rather than talent, and contributing to the decline in the standard of South African football.
