MAMELODI SUNDOWNS LOSES TO STELLENBOSCH
Fans of the football club, Mamelodi Sundowns blamed head coach, Manqoba Mngqithi for the team’s defeat against Stellenbosch in the first leg at Lucas Moripe Stadium.

The football club confirmed in June 2023 that Mokwena signed a 4-year contract extension with Mamelodi Sundowns until 2027.
FANS: ‘RULANI WAS THE BEST’
@asandajongi: “I feel for Steve and Manqoba at #Sundowns. I don’t see them doing well at all this season. This will prove that in as much as I hate to say it, #Rulani was the best fit for them. Not taking the credit away from Stellies, brilliant performance.”
@JoeFerg58678029: “Honestly, Sundowns looks very ordinary and beatable since Rulani left.”
@WilliamMosetja: “No lie detected. Sundowns doesn’t have a sting as usual. We must apologise to Rulani.”
@Eli200421511630: “Rulani wasn’t appreciated say it as is. Same way middendorp was fired after topping the log.”
@asandajongi: “I fully agree with you brother, I didn’t like the guy because of what he did at pirates, maybe we didn’t give him enough time but now I fully agree that he’s one of the best.”
@Llekamania_: “We sacked coach Rulani Mokwena because he didn’t win CAF CL. I don’t know if the football I watched today is capable of defending the league title let alone win the CL.”
@JoeFerg58678029: “Manqoba will be demoted again after an MTN8 exit, but this time there’s no Rulani to save him from a permanent exit at Sundowns.”
