According to FARPost, Mokwena, who played centre-back, will spend the off-season evaluating himself.
Mokwena said:
"Before even going to find reasons, you have to humble yourself and apologise to the football club because it is not a game we should have lost. So it's my responsibility to apologise to Mamelodi Sundowns Football Club, the supporters, the board and the club in its entirety for letting them down because we shouldn't have lost the match."
Fans are divided about Mokwena
Masandawana fans took to social media to express their divided opinions about Mokwena. Some praised the coach, while others said it was time for him to leave.
Kgaugelo Ephraim Sekhu backs Mokwena:
"Your apology is accepted, and we still believe in you."
Alpheus Makgethe identified Downs’s problem:
"Sundowns need to fix their defence. They make too many mistakes and get punished at the end."
Trinity Mpho criticised Mokwena:
"I have strong views about Rhulani, his lack of tactical acumen, and his favouritism. The sad reality is that we don't have a coach, shem."
Siyabonga Nhlapo says fans have to be realistic:
"Rhulani is still the best coach. Yesterday's loss was beyond him as a coach, and as supporters, we should support him. We can't win every game."
Tumelo Abram Tumi blamed Mokwena for the loss.
"Rhulan must go; clearly, he doesn't have a plan for this guy. He's fortunate to have many good players, but he can't use them."
Rhulani Mokwena said Thembinkosi Lorch apologised
