Amazingly, four hours later Schillo deleted the tweet. we contacted Kickoff Magazine to get their side of the story.

It unfolded that the Bafana captain just got it all wrong as he thought Kickoff.com was SundayWorld newspaper. 

Apparently the captain is furious about the whole articles Sunday World wrote about him. 

“He thought is us who reported that he was involved in a brawl with a son of minister and he since deleted the tweet. Even though, we have not yet received a formal apology from him” Kickoff editor, Ryan Cooper said.

Sunday newspaper reported that Pienaar was involved in a fight with a son of a minister last sunday.
