Thina ibhola lifana nempilo kithina. Liyindlela yethu yokuphila. Ukungayi ezinkundleni ngenxa yegciwane ukhuvethe kwenze kwangathi sesiphila kwelinye izwe noma komunye umhlaba. Kuyajabulisa kakhulu ukuthi sizokwazi ukuthamela umdlalo weBafana Bafana ne-Ethiopia. IBafana kuyiphazamisile kakhulu ukudlala ngaphandle kwabalandeli. Ize yagcina ihluleka wukuzibekisela indawo ku-Africa Cup of Nations,” kusho uChauke.
IBafana ihlezi esicongweni eqoqweni layo. Ngemuva kwemidlalo emibili isiqoqe amaphuzu amane. Ishaye iGhana ngeli-1 eqandeni yadlala ngokulingana neZimbabwe.

Cishe sengiyihambele yonke imiqhudelwano emikhulu yamazwe kodwa angikaze ngithole ithuba lokubuka iBafana kweyoMhlaba emazweni engaphandle. Ngowezi-2019, bengihambe neBanyana Banyana kweyeNdebe YoMhlaba yabesifazane. Bengikhona naku-Afcon e-Egypt. Isifiso sami wukuyobuka iBafana bukhoma eQatar ngonyaka ozayo. Ngijabule nje ngokuthi sizoba yingxenye yomdlalo weBafana ne-Ethiopia. Lokhu kusinika inhlasi yethemba yokuthi isimo sesizobuyela kwesijwayelekile. Into esimqoka manje wukuthi abantu bagome,” kuqhuba uChauke.
Imidlalo yeligi ibidlalwa ngaphandle kwabalandeli eMzansi selokhu kwahlasela leli gciwane.
“Akuphazamisekanga nje thina kuphela njengabalandeli bebhola kodwa nosomabhizinisi abasafufusa bathintekile ngoba abakwazi ukudayisa ezinkundleni. Bebenza enhle imali ngokudayisa emidlalweni yebhola ikakhulu ngowabakhaya baseSoweto phakathi kwe-Orlando Pirates neKaizer Chiefs. Uma kudlala imidlalo yebhola nohulumeli ubuhlomula ngoba emagaraji kaphethroli, izitolo zokudla nasemahhotela bekugcwala. Ukubuyela kwabalandeli ezinkundleni kuzowufukula nomnotho. Yingakho nje lezi zindaba zingijabulisa. Abantu abaye kogoma. Mina sengigomile futhi ngizobe ngikhona ngoLwesibili,” kusho uChauke.
