\u201cI was a bit emotional when I saw the placards outside and after stepping out of the bus had people swearing me and at my mother,\u201c Mosimane said after the game against his former club.<\/p>\n

\u201cI asked myself what more could I have done to get respect. I understand that it is football but I know the person who did this and who is behind this. I had to move on with my life and there is more but I won\u2019t discuss it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThese individuals have not only humiliated coach Pitso Mosimane, they have brought the name of the country into disrepute and as Safa we will leave no stone unturned in identifying these individuals and hand out harshest of penalty to the perpetrators,\u2019\u2019 CEO Tebogo Motlanthe said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have requested for an urgent report from the security and police at the stadium and we will also await report from the club. We are treating this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. We cannot tolerate this; Mosimane is our proud ambassador and what these people did needs to be condemned by all civilised society,\u2019\u2019 concluded Motlanthe.<\/p>\n
