“Andile is a good football player and we are happy with him. Our job is to make sure that he plays more and better,” said Mosimane.

“He is in a good space and good environment at Sundowns, we will make sure that we support him to play football. He is here to play football. If he needs external support, we will do that, it is our job. He is not the first one who we support, we have supported a lot,” Mosimane added.
