Mamelodi Sundowns coach Steve Komphela, speaking at the funeral of his brother, former Free State police, roads and transport MEC Butana Komphela, powerfully slammed leadership of self-interest in the country.
Komphela said later in life Butana — also a former chairperson of parliament’s portfolio committee on sport — was abandoned by many of his comrades in the ANC, to whom the family had handed his brother packaged with the message, “Handle with care”.
“Instead of serving the people they would demand that the people serve them. No. That's not servant leadership,” Komphela said. “We never had our brother. You had him for the rest of your lives, and this is what we get, but we forgive you. “In the absence of the enemy, brothers and sisters get to arms. In the absence of the enemy they are up in arms against each other.
"... The pain cuts so deep, not because of death but how comrades treated our brother. A brother we left in their care.
