Love it or hate it, South African football banter is here to stay. While Orlando Pirates fans are confused about Lesedi Kapinga’s situation at Mayfair, Mamelodi Sundowns are not holding back on the banter.
Kapinga joined the Buccaneers at the beginning of the season with the hope of earning much needed game-time.
The skillful midfielder endured a difficult time at the star-studded Mamelodi Sundowns however his release from ‘prison’, as many fans claimed, isn’t going according to plan.

In total he’s made just four appearances under Jose Riveiro. Take a look at what some Mamelodi Sundowns fans had to say below.
