Sundowns take big decision on Bafana Bafana star

Mamelodi Sundowns have moved to secure star defender Mothobi Mvala’s future at Chloorkop.

The towering Bafana Bafana defender joined the club in 2020 from Highlands Park, giving the Brazilians some much needed force in defence.

The hard-tackling defender has already made 112 appearances for the club, scoring seven goals and assisting four more.

And now, new reports suggest he’s set to conclude a new long-term contract extension at Mamelodi Sundowns!

Manqoba heaps praise on Kaizer Chiefs youngsters

in other news, Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Manqoba Mngqithi has heaped praise on three Kaizer Chiefs rising stars.

“Shabalala is a big factor in the game. He also got some very good moments today. Duba played exceptionally well. This is the feeling I have when I looked at these boys,” Sundowns coach Manqoba Mngqithi said as quoted by IDiski Times.

“Vilakazi, when he’s given a chance, they are all very good football players. But the biggest mistake that you can make with those young players is to put the load of a team as big as Kaizer Chiefs on their shoulders.

“But honestly speaking, those are exceptionally gifted players, I would love to have them in my team, I don’t want to lie to you.”
