Mayo Snr blocked Kaizer Chiefs and Sundowns move?

“If you have a father who played the game, you will never make the same mistakes your father did.” Ndlovu told KickOff regarding the Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns linked man.

“It’s clear the advice came from the father even if he was my son, I would have said good move.

“As for the three-year deal. I think it was proposed by Cape Town City, they wanted to be secured.

“The more he plays for Bafana the more Cape Town City stands to sell him at the right price. Next season he will be worth more. Remember football is a business.

“At this stage, it could have been difficult for him to choose between Kaizer Chiefs, Sundowns and Pirates.”

Ditlhokwe opens up on Amakhosi move

“One thing I can tell, I’m a captain of my national team; I’m a player for my national team. I captained my national team at the age of 21. So I don’t think there’s any pressure that can come more than what I’ve already passed through.” the Kaizer Chiefs-bound defender told iDiskiTimes.

“That is one thing you must consider. It’s a normal challenge that every player must face. For you to grow, you must have challenges. There’s no player that can grow without challenges. You need to be tested, so it’s a big test, I know.

“But at the end of the day, the same way I’ve managed [until now] is the same way I have will manage.”
