This is becoming an annual occurrence. Every so often, a bit of "kasi flava" in South Africa goes viral and people go off with the power of a thousand Roy Keanes — "IT'S A DISGRACE!" "IT'S NOT PROPER FOOTBALL!" "I'D BREAK THEIR LEGS!"
The Orlando Pirates Reserves beat Sekhukhune United Reserves 3-0 in Johannesburg, and the players entertained the home crowd with some showboating that's frequently seen on the kasi fields of Soweto (where many of the Orlando Pirates players are originally from).
