FORMER KAIZER CHIEFS WINGER MANDLA MASANGO KEEPS HIS PRINCIPLES

Having last played from Renders in Denmark in 2018, the 33-year-old winger from Mpumalanga’s Kwaggafontein is yet to find a new football club, and the reason is financial.

““It’s not a matter of being who and who, it’s a matter of principles,” Masango said via Sowetan LIVE.

“When you are a person you must have your own principles, so I have my own. If my principles and expectations are not met, I’d rather stay at home.

“Last time I had an offer, but I won’t mention the team, was a Premiership team. That person offered me an amount that I can make even when I am at home without waking up. When you speak to people, you must respect their craft.

“I feel some of the clubs don’t respect the craft of the players, which is not right. In rugby and cricket, you won’t find broke players because their craft is being taken seriously.

“I will continue with my things and if something comes and meets my expectations, I will return. Life is a matter of negotiations,  but don’t come to me and disrespect me. As much as I say this, I won’t close any doors,” the former Chiefs attacker concluded.
