Kufuneka sibeke uxinizelelo kwangoko emaqeleni esidlala nawo ngokuphumelela. Asifuni kwenzeke into esingayifuniyo, ngakumbi sinabadlali abasemgangathweni ophezulu njengaba esinabo ngoku,” utshilo uBroos. Uyibethelele into ethi akufuneki adelelwe amaqela abaza kudibana nawo.

Asilindelanga imidlalo elula – kodwa ndiqinisekile ukuba siza kudlala kakuhle ukuba senze umsebenzi osemgangathweni esikuwo ngoku. Ndifuna sibuye sincumile eSouth Sudan kwiveki ezayo ngoLwesibini,” uvale ngaloo mazwi uBroos, obuyisele uMzantsi Afrika emidlalweni yeAfcon emva kwexesha elide ungakwazi ukuya kuyo.
