Former Mamelodi Sundowns captain Hlompho Kekana has said that a ring of steel must be erected around emerging attacker Cassius Mailula to protect him from the trappings of fame.

The 21-year-old Mailula has impressed during seven appearances for the Brazilians in all competitions this season where he has scored three goals and Kekana believes he can establish himself as a key member of the team if he stays on the straight and narrow.

“The hyping part is up to the media on how you hype him up, we are talking about an 18-year-old who needs to be guided properly because one big article can destroy the poor kid. “He’s got an eye for goal, as you may have seen in the last matches that he played, he is exciting and you can tell the kid enjoys playing football. The hyping part, I cannot control that, it is up to him how he accepts and takes it but without a doubt he is a good player.”

“The structure is good, you must remember that they are fortunate to play in the Champions League and if you play in that space continuously you stand a chance of developing as a player because of the different game modes that are applied at that tournament.

Ethics committee wants Pinky Kekana reprimanded for R170k she got from Edwin SodiDeputy minister in the presidency Pinky Kekana faces a reprimand from the National Assembly for not declaring R170,000 she received from corruption-accused businessman Edwin Sodi. Why a reprimand, why not 20 years in jail? Reprimand sounds so not like punishment. Just another feather light slap on the wrist. Should Sodi be found guilty of corruption, will Kekana have to return the 'gift' to the state? Surely she can't benefit from the proceeds of crime Elsewhere she would have resigned in shame.. not even fired.. resigned 🤷🏾‍♂️
