Ugandan Politician Kicks-Off New Football Season, Hits The Deck In Hilarious Fashion

Ugandan Politician Kicks-Off New Football Season, Hits The Deck In Hilarious Fashion

Fine effort!

Ladies and gentlemen, introducing General Moses Ali.

Who is this LAD? None other than Uganda's Deputy Prime Minister and Deputy Leader of Government Business in Parliament.

That's a mouthful.

Anyway, the 79-year-old was invited by Uganda Premier League officials to kick-off the new season.

What could go wrong, right?!

Well, he stepped up, booted the ball then crumbled to the ground in stages in hilarious fashion. Keep an eye on his shoe which goes flying.

Brilliant.

His security guards exploded in laughter with one of them reenacting his kick, before hastily lifting him of the ground.

Moses saw the funny side, laughing it off as he slowly got back to his feet.

Meanwhile, over in South Africa, someone else hit the floor; meet Sibusiso Mbonani who tasted a chunk of the turf as a result of a filthy, filthy 'shibobo'.

Themba 'Mshishi' Zwane, who inflicted the outrageous piece of skill, even felt the need to apologise.

Zwane was part of the Mamelodi Sundowns side that claimed a 2-0 win over Polokwane City on Tuesday, and has since become a viral sensation courtesy of his jaw-dropping piece of play down the flank.

Fed down the channel but quickly closed down by Mbonani as he looked to advance in the area, the 28-year old produced an unreal 'shibobo' through his legs and left him in a heap on the turf.

Mbonani went sliding across the pitch and ended up with his head on the grass.

Breaking ankles is one thing, but breaking necks with sexy skills is another.

It's just utterly outrageous from Zwane - the man has a family after all and he's just provided the most devastating humiliation.

Only when you see the final close-up angle do you fully appreciate the ridiculous ruining that has taken place.

Zwane, who won man of the match in the game, said he was disappointed with his final ball following the move and that he apologised to his victim.

"I saw that he (Mbonani) was coming with speed and power while the ball was rolling towards my direction," Zwane told the official Sundowns website, via IOL.

"I decided to just put the ball in between his legs and I gave him a shibobo. But I wasn't happy with my final pass to Lebohang Maboe after that move.

"I apologised to Mbonani after the game, but he told me that he would get me in the second round."
