yezo_m reacted:
"This guy has such a presence, the manner he commands his defence has forwards doubting themselves. With an organized defence, a keeper can face fewer threats and/or shots. It's a good signing by Usuthu, uSbali ngadaar uyatekateka😣"
QRoger_03 implied:
"This guy was a good Goal minder when playing for Maritzburg United, eversince he joined that other FC 😭😭 he changed drastically 🚮 and its safe to safe Orlando Pirates are destroying players careers one by one."
ThapeloBosiu shared:
"Goodbye to Veli Mothwa. A good addition to their side but a very bad telling for our national team Goalie. Richard Ofori's leadership is unquestionable. His biggest mistake at Orlando Pirates was wanting to extort us."
