Sources have revealed that Mashaba invited Ndulula to Spurs to have a closer look at him and see if he could be of any help as the former Bafana coach has been tasked with rescuing Siyavutha from relegation in the National First Division.

“Ndulula is not the same player Mashaba thought he was and he couldn’t make it so the trial was cut short as it was clear there was nothing he could offer the coach,” said a source.
