Friday, 10 September, 2021

Mamelodi Sundowns co-coach Rhulani Mokwena has admitted to some unrest within the coaching department but insisted that they are focused on clash with Kaizer Chiefs on Sunday.

The former Orlando Pirates and Chippa United coach responded to a pre-match interview question regarding the reported misunderstanding between the Masandawana coaches ahead of their crunch encounter.

"I read the article, it's a difficult one to answer, not to come across as trying not to be honest, but also at the same time to try to protect the club because we have a very big game on the weekend. Our focus and our energies must be on that.

But also in the corner of my being there is also the importance of clarifying some of he things because sometimes some of the thing that come out and you are like oh my goodness how did this come out?" says Mokwena.

"And for me that is the biggest problem, is having a mole and having people that report certain things to the media, we should not have people in our club that go about this sort of behaviour.

In any organisation or in any household and whenever there is any relations, of course there is going to be squabbles and disagreements and those shouldn't be blown out of proportion," added the 34-year-old.

"You know I get disappointed personally when I am on the other side and to be honest with you maybe you this question should be given to coach Manqoba, because what was reported in the media, there is an element of truth to it but to me, the coach apologised and we move on and focus on what is important for Mamelodi Sundowns," concluded Mokwena.

Mamelodi Sundowns host Kaizer Chiefs in a DStv Premiership encounter at Loftus on Sunday, kick-off is at 17:00.
