The jersey number 27 said his apology goes out to the coaches and the club’s support base…

I would like to sincerely apologise to coach Arthur Zwane, coach Dillon Sheppard, coach Lee Baxter, my teammates, Kaizer Chiefs management and all Amakhosi supporters for not shaking the coach’s hand,” Ngcobo said via the club’s media.

I am not proud of what I did,” adds Ngcobo. “It was a heat of the moment thing because I made some costly mistakes during the match and it’s not nice knowing that you’ve let the team down as a player, but that does not justify any of my actions. I promise to do better in the future,” he added.

It’s not a nice thing when a situation like that arises, and everybody is looking at the incident but not looking at why he made the mistake,” Khan said. Read the full story here.
