SAFA's disciplinary committee has found Golden Arrows' dopey midfielder Philani "Chronic" Shange guilty of using cannabis. The pacy pothead somehow forgot he was a pro footballer and took Snoop Dogg's Smoke Weed Everyday album to heart.

His punishment is a suspended R12000 fine, plus a course on the dangers of drug abuse. Shange joins an elite club of convicted PSL rookers including "Sailor" Tshabalala, OJ Mabizela and Manqoba Ngwenya. Maybe Shange should have consulted Thabo Mngomeni on how he dodged Babylon's urine test throughout his career ...



SOME fat, inebriated and hot-headed Mamelodi Sundowns supporters stormed the club's HQ in Chloorkop last week and threatened to strip if their grievances were not addressed. Can you imagine those plump, pale bums mooning Sundowns billionaire president Patrice Motsepe? What a sight!



WE thought Pirates' Mickey Modisane was a klevah from Soweto - until he was duped by a Zimbabwean con man. The Sea Robbers' spokesbabbler was robbed by the tsotsi, who posed as a buyer for his bakkie canopy. He deposited R14000 into the spin doctor's account, then reversed the transaction as soon as the canopy was on its way to Bulawayo.



IT'S party for Tsamaya whenever Safa's national executive meet. Flamboyant North West representative Lefore Lerefolo wanted to show the Jozi big boys his fashion sense, rocking up looking like a groomsman in his shiny and probably flammable wedding suit. Or maybe he was set to pop into the International Pentecostal Church gathering next door at Nasrec? A good thing for him both venues are no-smoking zones.



CONTROVERSIAL Truman Prince looks like the main pimp at Safa. The former Beaufort West mayor pranced around in a controversial pair of shoes with zips alongside the steel toes, leaving Tsamaya's spies flabbergasted.



EXPENSIVE wheeled suitcases are all the rage at Safa, with most members rolling their bags along like CIA agents. But the ageing uBaba Jeremiah Mdlalose from KwaZulu-Natal needs to get into the swing of things. He was seen lugging a tog bag he must have bought during the 1986 World Cup.



WHAT'S with players and diamond-stud earrings? Even Sfiso Myeni and Reuben Cloete arrived for their first Bafana interviews all blinged up. The rookies are following in the footsteps of glitter merchants Teko Modise, Siboniso Gaxa and Tsepo Masilela.



BIDVEST Wits are super hot these days, as is new defender Derrick Spencer on the accelerator pedal. Jozi cops recently caught Spencer doing 102km/h in a 60 zone in his Merc - and he made a low-key appearance at the Randburg Magistrate's Court, hoping no one would spot him. Sadly for him, he was caught by the prying eyes of the media. If Spencer was as speedy in his central defence position, he could be playing for Bafana!
