UMakgalwa uveza isinqumo sokwenqaba ukuya ku-Chiefs

Umdlali ohlaselayo weSimba SC, uKeletso Makgalwa, uveze izizathu zakhe zokukhetha iqembu lakhe lamanje kuneqembu le-Kaizer Chiefs, ethi ubedinga ukuqala kabusha ngaphandle kweNingizimu Afrika, aphinde abeke phambili izidingo zomndeni wakhe.

UMakgalwa, oneminyaka engu-29, uthuthele kuleli qembu elikhulu laseTanzania ngoJulayi nonyaka ngemuva kwesikhathi esihle semizini emibili eqenjini lakhe lakudala iSekhukhune United kwiBetway Premiership.

Lo mdlali owayeyibambe ku-Mamelodi Sundowns njengodlala ohlangothini (winger) usevele wadlala imidlalo emihlanu eqenjini likaSteve Barker; emine kwiligi kanti owodwa kwimijikelezo yokuhlungela i-CAF Champions League lapho eseshaye khona igoli.

“Benginazo iziphakamiso, ngicabanga ukuthi ezimbili noma ezintathu ezivela ku-AmaZulu nakuKaizer Chiefs, futhi bekuyiziphakamiso ezinhle,” kusho uMakgalwa

“Kodwa ngizwe sengathi ngidinga ukuqala kabusha kwelinye izwe futhi ngibone ukuthi izinto zihamba kanjani. Ngicabanga ukuthi ngenze isinqumo esifanele sokujoyina iSimba, futhi lokhu kungenxa yomndeni wami, uyazi, ngokwezimali, ukuze ngisize umndeni wami.”

UMakgalwa uvumile ukuthi isinqumo sokwenqaba i-Amakhosi besingelula ngoba ubelokhu enesifiso sokugqoka ihembe elimnyama negolide.

Uphinde wathi izingxoxo nabadlali asebedlala nabo kanye nabantu bakubo, uNeo Maema noRushine De Reuck, zibe usizo olukhulu, kanye nezinhloso zeSimba njengeqembu.

“Bekunzima ekuqaleni ukwenza leso sinqumo, ukushiya iKaizer Chiefs ngiye eTanzania,” kwengeza uMakgalwa. “Ngakhuluma noNeo noRushine, ngababuza ukuthi izinto zinjani ngale, futhi bakhuluma iqiniso. Ikakhulukazi uNeo wakhuluma iqiniso wangitshela ngesimo sendawo kanye nezinkundla, ukuthi akuzona ezisezingeni eliphezulu kakhulu, kodwa ungakwazi ukwenza okuhle ngazo.

“Ngakho-ke, ngaqunga isibindi sokuya khona. Thina eNingizimu Afrika, njengoba sikhula, iphupho lethu bekungukudlalela iKaizer Chiefs, iSundowns noma i-Orlando Pirates. Mina bengiphupha ngokudlalela iKaizer Chiefs, kodwa lokho akwenzekanga. Ngagcina ngijoyine iMamelodi Sundowns, futhi ngayithanda kakhulu iSundowns; ngase ngikhohlwa ngamanye amaqembu.

“Yingakho ngakhetha ukuya eSimba. Kungenye yezizathu lezo, futhi akukubi. Iligi yakhona ayimbi; kunabadlali abahle, futhi kukhona nemidlalo yeChampions League.

“Sinabadlali abahle kakhulu abafana no-Anicet Oura — owayedlalela iStellenbosch — kanye noGueye Libasse; sinabadlali abaningi abahle eTanzania.”
