Phala revealed that he still loved SuperSport and was sorry for the hurt he caused prior to leaving the club.
“They changed my life and I still watch their matches and celebrate when they win and score goals,” he said.
“To those, I’ve hurt, please accept my heartfelt apology. I regret my actions.”
Phala joined SuperSport from Platinum Stars in 2013 and clinched the Nedbank Cup (twice), MTN8 and Telkom Knockout Cup with Matsatsantsa.
