Makola has started both of City’s first two games in the Premiership and despite a disjointed pre-season after being frozen out at Pirates before his eventual release‚ McCarthy says he has already looked superb. “I know first-hand the joys of having a player like Mpho behind you. I was still a player at Pirates when he was brought in from Free State Stars and myself‚ Ndumiso Mabena and Thulasizwe Mbuyane‚ we just had to make a move and the ball was laid on a platter for you.“It is a shame what happened‚ but someone else’s loss is our gain … Pirates let him go and we have taken him. We see how calm he is. He does not panic‚ he makes us play.

“Two games and he has slotted in very well‚” the coach said. “As he is playing he is getting his fitness up to scratch and when we get all our players back and fit‚ then we can give him a bit of a rest as well.

Mpho Makola arrival at Cape Town City is Orlando Pirates’ loss‚ says Benni McCarthy'I was still a player at Pirates when he was brought in from Free State Stars and myself‚ Mabena and Mbuyane‚ we just had to make a move and the ball was laid on a platter for you.' Benni, Makola is a good player i agree, however, he's one dimensional, modern football requires players who can both attack & defend at the same time, he can't give you that, he's marvelous on the ball but atrocious off it & that's his Achilles heels🙏
