City keen on Manyama’s return

Cape Town City chairman John Comitis has confirmed they are interested in bringing Lebogang Manyama back to the club.


Manyama captained City before he left South Africa to join Konyaspor in Turkey in September last year.

The Bafana Bafana forward is now a free agent after parting ways with the Turkish club.

“I had a chat with Lebo, and he knows where his home is. At this stage he is not sure [where he wants to go]. We will find out next week what he is thinking. Everyone would love to have a player of his quality, and we are no different,” Comitis told Independent Media.

“I’ve known Lebo since he was 21. I worked with him when he was still young at Ajax. As I said, we had a chat, and I offered him some sort of advice, and we will hear from him in a week,” Comitis added.

City will face some stiff competition for his signature though, with both Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns said to be interested in his services.
