Komphela believes the youngster can grow in the team.
“How sweet can it ever be when a youngster at 18 [Meyiwa is 17 years plus eight months] plays like this? The only thing I was worried about was that he was going to lose energy as the game progresses,” Komphela told SuperSport TV.

“This is the only game of your life when you’re allowed to make mistakes and nobody will blame you. When you do well, compliments go to you because they don’t know you.”
