Mpho Makola Reveals Reasons Behind Cape Town City Departure! The midfielder has spoken as to why he was let go by The Cityzens.
Mpho Makola was hastily released by Cape Town City two months ago. He has attempted to provide insight into the reasons which led to his departure.
Bibo was recently scooped up by Polokwane City in the Motsepe Foundation Championship on a sort term contract. This is after he was released by the Cape outfit.
Head coach Eric Tinkler had said that since they were knocked out of the CAF Champions League preliminary stages, there would be no need for yet another midfielder. The side would rather have youngsters in the team.
It was still a peculiar decision as they had to remunerate him for the remainder of his contract either way.
“It caught me by surprise, on the last day of the window period,” the midfielder said to Andile Ncube on Sport Night Amplified.
“I got a call to come to the office, where I found the chairman [John Comitis] and the coach [Eric Tinkler] – and I already knew what was going to happen.
“We had a good relationship, hence, when the news came out that I am leaving the team, the guys, led by captain Thami Mkhize, stopped training and asked for an explanation.
“I think everything changed when I didn’t attend the cricket match. I couldn’t attend because I had a meeting with my lawyer – I think everything switched after that with the coach.
“I won’t say the chairman. Tinkler took me out of the 18-man team, and when I asked why he told me about the cricket match I did not attend.
“I was puzzled by it because I am here to play football, not cricket, and I have been doing my job on the pitch.” He added.
Bibo will be hoping to help Polokwane City gain promotion into the DSTV Premiership. Mpho Makola Reveals Reasons Behind Cape Town City Departure!
