According to iDiski Times, Mokoena is happy at Sundowns, despite former coach Pitso Mosimane saying the player made a mistake.

Mokoena said:

"We still have [FIFA] Club World Cup, so we'll see again next year. For me, I'm happy to be at the club. I signed a contract [extension] because I know the club's project and wanted to be part of the project."

"If so, signing such a lengthy binding contract was not intelligent. You don't sign a lengthy binding contract while harbouring hope of going abroad. Sundowns has tied him down for good."

Sbusiso Baggio Mbali says Mokoena will stay:

"Those dreams and ambitions will remain like that."

Tefo Douglas said Mokoena made the wrong choice:

"They just locked him up; he must look at Kekana, Onyango, and Zwane. They got old wearing a Sundowns jersey."

Job Molatudi suggested a possible destination:

"At 27, he might sign for those Eastern Europe teams."

Tshilidzi Van Tonder Mankhili said Mokoena made a mistake:

"He is crazy; Sundowns doesn't believe in selling players; after five years, he will be old and useless."
