“I took this on the chin like a man and accepted it. I am a soldier and I’ll bounce back.
“And let’s be realistic, my time at Chiefs would have ended at some point and it happened on Tuesday [June 30].
“I would have loved to be there for more years but I respect their decision.
“I’ll to thank them for the messages of support; that’s what pushes me ahead and keeps me strong,” he added.
Molangoane said he was ready for a new challenge after Chiefs exit.
“I will keep training, be ready and wait for a call but people must understand I am 100% okay and healthy – and I am free of Covid-19. The lockdown has helped me a lot in terms of full rehabilitation. I am 100% now,” said Molangoane with confidence.
“I was doing everything with the team [in terms of virtual training]. I am ready for a new chapter in my life.
“Maybe I am strong but I just put in the hard work and follow the doctor’s orders. That’s all. Even now, I am 100% fine – it’s just a matter of getting a new job and doing what I like best, which is playing football.”
