Bongani Wati, one of the co-owners of Kruger United FC, said they are grateful for Masango’s contributions to the club. Under his leadership, the team performed very well as a result of his dedication and good relationship with the players and management. Wati was not prepared to divulge the reason for Masango’s resignation.
