According to a source close to the former Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns player, Oupa Manyisa doesn't have a choice but to sign with GladAfrica Championship club Platinum City Rovers.
Manyisa is starting to realise that money isn't coming in, so he's been dipping into his savings in recent months to keep his lifestyle and care for his children, says the source, according to The Citizen.

According to the source, the 33-year-old athlete has been unable to find a club due to a recurring ailment and organisations are unwilling to take a risk by signing him.
“Things are starting to be very difficult for him financially, hence he has to make sure that he at least gets a season-long contract with Rovers and figure out how he is going to make money after football," they said.

Former footballer and analyst Junior Khanye believes that Manyisa can still find a club and it could be easier for him than it will be for George Lebese, according to SowetanLIVE.
"Their careers are definitely not over. In SA football when you are over 30 years old, they say you are finished," said Khanye.
Manyisa can fit in with ball-playing clubs like Swallows and Cape Town City, according to Khanye.
“One of the few teams that I think Oupa can go to is Swallows or Cape Town City. I still believe that he can still offer a lot to our game because he is not a bad player and he is highly experienced," he said.
