According to FARPost, Nabi wants to stamp his own style of play at the Soweto giants, who continue to show interest in Polokwane City star Oswin Appollis.

Nabi said:

"For me, I want to provide quality; sometimes, in South Africa, there's too much showboating and not efficiency. Do you remember Bafana's game against Uganda? After 1-0 or 2-0, the team started showboating; you need to score four of five [goals], not score one goal, and you start to showboat, come on guys."

Fans disagree with Nabi

On social media, local football fans disagreed with Nabi and Mngqithi, saying showboating is part of Mzansi's DNA while praising Orlando Pirates coach Jose Riveiro.

Boitshoko Apolosi says Pirates encourages flair:

"We are Orlando Pirates. If you can ask Jose Riviero, he will say, 'I let my players express themselves when they are on the pitch'. You will never hear him talking about other players."
