Good Enough Sithole Biography
While Goodenough Sithole’s biography is not currently accessible on Wikipedia, we have gathered some limited information about him. Goodenough Sithole was a devoted supporter of the Orlando Pirates and was recognized for his famous statement, “I enjoy it for de Pirates.” Recently, there were rumors suggesting his possible switch to rival team Kaizer Chiefs, who emerged victorious in the Soweto Derby on Saturday.
However, Goodenough, a passionate Pirates fan, refuted these claims. In light of a manipulated photo circulating on Twitter this week, depicting him wearing an Amakhosi T-shirt, humorous remarks were made about him betraying the Buccaneers.
Fans Reactions
The tweet accompanying the image stated, “Goodenough has switched sides.” It suggested that he now favors the Kaizer Chiefs. Robert Marawa shared the article and expressed doubt about its accuracy. He extended an invitation to Goodenough to appear on his show and clarify the situation. This is all news to me. Goodenough responded, saying, “I have no knowledge of this.” He emphasized that he has never been a fan of the Chiefs.
Following the Pirates’ defeat at the hands of the Chiefs on two occasions, fans refrained from using the team’s shirt as pajamas or a doormat. Goodenough stated that the Pirates’ victory was inconsequential because they did not win the cup.
When asked about his familiarity with the supposed Kaizer Chiefs fan, Goodenough stated that someone had “created an exact likeness of me.” He suggested reaching out to the artist responsible.
