"I think playing in Romania taught me that we’re not here for ourselves — it’s about respecting the people who are going to come after me," Ngezana told FARPost.
"So I hope I’m giving enough inspiration to players in the PSL to look for opportunities in Romania and other European countries. As I said, I hope being here in Romania inspires players in South Africa to come as well.
"There is so much talent in South Africa, and I know the players can make a big impact in this league. So I hope other players will have the courage to come here and express their talent, which will open more doors for many others to play in Europe."
