Mathoho apologises to Chiefs and Bafana fans

Kaizer Chiefs and Bafana Bafana defender Eric Mathoho has apologised for the back-to-back red cards he has received for the club and country.


Mathoho was sent off in his last game for Chiefs against SuperSport United two weeks ago.

The lanky defender also picked up a red card in Bafana’s 2-1 loss to Cape Verde last Friday.

Mathoho posted a message on his Instagram account apologising to Chiefs and Bafana fans for the back-to-back red cards.

“Following the two red cards which I was shown back to back, one on the 23rd August 2017 and another one on the 1st September 2017, which saw me suspended for both club and country, I am deeply disappointed in myself for the errors which led to my sending off on both games, I wish I could reverse the time and do things differently.

“I would like to sincerely apologise to the Chiefs family and South Africa at large, I hope that you will find it in your hearts to forgive me. I promise to do better next time,” wrote Mathoho.
