“This is now Siya’s new number,” said Nomvethe as he handed Sithebe a jersey with the No.10 at the back. “I am leaving it for him. He deserves it. He has worked hard over the past two seasons. He collected more Man-of-the-Match awards than anyone else in the team last season,” said Nomvethe.
In his response, the shy Sithebe said he felt amazing that the veteran striker chose him for the famous number.
“It is amazing to me. I don’t know what to say. I don’t have words to explain how it feels. Nomvethe has achieved so much and for him to make this gesture is amazing. I didn’t expect it at all,” he said.
