• Sundowns challenged the fans to share their memories and many in the Yellow family believe Kekana deserves a testimonial match
• Kekana’s future remains a subject of speculation as he is yet to taste competitive football this season and many still miss him

Mamelodi Sundowns fans are sharing their fond memories of skipper Hlompho Kekana following a call by the club to do so. Many Masandawana supporters feel the legendary skipper should be handed a role after hanging up his boots because he served the Yellow Nation with distinction.

Kekana’s future has been a subject of speculation at Chloorkop with many local media reporting that ‘KK’ might leave the club and continue with his football career elsewhere.

Masandawana announced on Thursday that the club and Kekana parted ways and he will look for a new club. Just last week, coach Rulani Mokwena mentioned that the club will release a statement to address the veteran midfielder’s future.
