“Coming back to Sundowns marks an important moment in my career,” Ntsabeleng told Sundowns Magazine.
“Representing one of Africa’s top clubs is an honour, and I’m eager for what lies ahead. The professionalism here — from the coaching staff to my teammates — is truly motivating.
“Being back feels like home, and it pushes me to give my best every day, continue learning, and make meaningful contributions to the team’s success both on and off the field.”
Tsiki's comments about joining Mamelodi Sundowns gathered different thoughts from PSL fans on social media.
Sipho Buyeye shared:
"I know i dont have qualities but i can coach Mamelodi Sundowns better than Cardoso😢💔, see how he is wasting talented players at the club. If he doesn't want him then why did he sign the player on loan from his club."
Court Mctylor mentioned:
"He will play, as long as Miguel Cardoso is leaving. Pitso Mosimane will use dis boy. Cardoso must take his Portuguese players and join Kaizer Chiefs."
Lesson ST Bronze wrote:
"A failed move, He should have opted for a move to either Stellenbosch or Sekhukhune United, My team Sundowns prefer South American."
Sthembiso Trevor Mkhasibe said:
"The guy is good. Just give him a chance I beg of you Miguel Cardoso."
Patrick Magagula reacted:
"The biggest clubs in the continent are not throwing the name "the biggest club" around. Can results prove our clubs as one or the biggest clubs in the continent. We can't obtain that status by PR."
Mdalla ka Maswanganye commented:
"Tsiki is happy to return from USA and others are heading to USA... Please someone tell us about the standard of football in America."
Serameng_ added:
"Is there a player called Katlego “Tsiki” Ntsabeleng at Sundowns 🤔 they take SA players abroad and destroy them. Now they want van Wyk 😂"
