Asked what inspired change and the 2011/12 treble success inside the club, Mbuyane said one of the big factors was Teko Modise’s departure to Mamelodi Sundowns.

“After Teko left, I don’t know what happened. He was just very quiet. He would just train and play matches. With the rest of us, we interacted with each other a lot more.

“We would do things like sit in each other’s hotel rooms for chats and then go to sleep.

“With Teko, he would just train and get into his Aston Martin and leave. Training, starting his car, and going,” the Mamelodi-born former star added.
