In other news, former Orlando Pirates star Linda Mntambo looks set to be rewarded with a contract extension at Sekhukhune United.
The midfielder has made just two appearances for United this season. This was due to persistent injury problems.
Despite his injury struggles, Mntambo is viewed as a key member for the club both on and off the field of play!
According to the latest reports, Sekhukhune United view Mntambo as an “ambassador”! He will now be rewarded with a contract extension.
Former Bucs star to be rewarded by United?
“The club is happy with him and the way he has recovered,” an insider told SoccerLaduma regarding the former Orlando Pirates star.
“You know he is the club captain, and they want to keep him as much as they. That’s why it’s the two years for now, as they are also considering his age. He is 34 and in 2027 he will be 36. So it’s not a bad deal at all.
“He markets the team very well. He’s also a player they need even outside the playing field to market and promote the team.
“He has recovered from injury. Now he can play, but even when he was not playing, he was like the face of the club. That’s also why they want to keep him for another two more years,” a source concluded regarding the former Orlando Pirates star.
