CHAIRMAN’S REPORT

MARITZBURG UNITED DENOUNCE XENOPHOBIA

The Directors, Management and Players of Maritzburg United wishes to express heartfelt sympathy for all those affected by the recent acts of xenophobia and criminality that are now sweeping through the province of KZN and the country alike.

As a club we condemn xenophobia and urge all stake holders to help to put an end to this evil act.

Sport and notably soccer has brought people together. Internationally, it is a known fact that the players ply their trade in various countries.

What we are witnessing now in our community is a violation of people’s human rights, which is enshrined in our constitution.

This country is preparing to host the 2010 World Cup, where we expecting Africa and the world to grace our shores.

The act of xenophobia will definitely put fear into our African Brothers of coming here in 2010.

I challenge all clubs in the PSL to denounce xenophobia and make your stand.

Lets unite and stop this criminality.
