According to FARPost, Langerman said his time at one of Mzansi’s richest clubs ended after the arrival of Mashaba.
Langerman said:
“I found out that Mashaba was getting paid more than me. I was getting R75 000, and Mashaba was getting R90 000 coming from Free State Stars. And when Muzi arrived at Sundowns, he came knowing my salary already. So when Muzi came, he already knew that he was going to replace me, and that’s one of the things that made me and Pitso not get along.”
Sundowns confirmed their Nedbank Cup victory on Twitter (X):
Sundowns continue to push for silverware
Following his exit from Sundowns, Langerman had a short stint at Moroka Swallows but has not won a single trophy away from Masandawana.
The defending PSL champions could win multiple titles this season after topping the PSL table and advancing into the Nedbank Cup quarterfinals.
Sundowns are currently nine points clear atop the PSL log but recently suffered their second loss of the league campaign after a 1-0 defeat to TS Galaxy.

Fans remember Langerman
Fans praised Langerman on social media, saying they have fond memories of Langerman at Sundowns and felt the player deserved a higher salary.
Zorrho Magoveni says Langerman’s salary was too low:
“R75 000 but we are told Sundowns pays a lot of money.”
Sva Nkovu is a fan:
“You served us with distinction Langer. #Thank_you.”
Vilakazi Muzi Patrick admires the player:
“This was one of the good players at Downs.”
Prince Genaro Charles says Langerman has a good life:
“His story is so nice, he bought a house worth R3 million.”
Lindelani Manana gave their insight:
“Sundowns has set salary brackets. They pay a lot on performance-based bonuses. That’s where players make lots of money not on monthly salaries.”
