“It’s normal, players finishing contracts, players looking to secure their futures. As we do as coaches, it’s always the same.

“It’s a market, players are coming and going every season, I hope not many, it’s important to give continuity to the things we built already.

“But again probably it’s our obligation. It’s mandatory for us to always have one eye on the market to look at opportunities to improve the squad.”

“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 Orlando Pirates.”
