Mamelodi Sundowns shocked football lovers in the country after announcing the arrival of Monnapule Saleng from Orlando Pirates.
After falling out with the Sea Robbers’ management, the 27-year-old was sent on loan to the Premier Soccer League newbies Orbit College FC. However, he has not lasted there despite scoring two goals and providing three assists in the 13 games played across all competitions.
Have a look at how Mzansi reacted as sampled by Afrik-Foot.
Watch Saleng win PSL before Pirates
Monnapule Saleng is Yellow! Watch him win the Premier Soccer League before Orlando Pirates – Khethanikesman
I hope we don’t bench him. He needs a lot of game time to regain his confidence and form – Malatjie
Who else is now convinced that Pitso Mosimane is coming back to Masandawana? – Dr Maheya
Orlando Pirates can’t compete! I’m so disappointed with Dr Irvin Khoza – Sgegede Happy Nhlapo
Fitting him in will be the real struggle as Sundowns attack is already stacked. But if anyone can make it work, it is the coaching staff. Wishing Saleng all the best, though, and hope he hits the ground running – Disa Roboro
This is sad for us Pirates
