Mngqithi praises Sundowns staff after 4-0 win

Johannesburg - Following his absence from training, Mamelodi Sundowns’ co-coach Manqoba Mngqithi has lauded his peer Rulani Mokwena after he led the team to a 4-0 Nedbank Cup win over Richards Bay, at the Princes Magogo Stadium, on Friday evening.

After finishing the first half of the season on a high note as they are at the top of the Premiership standings with 44 points, 14 ahead of the second-placed Orlando Pirates, Sundowns kept up their momentum in the cup competiton.

Sundowns progressed to the last 16 of the tournament – thanks to goals from new signing Surprise Ralani, Rushine De Reuck, Pavol Sefranko and Peter Shalulile.

However, late into the hiatus in January, Mngqithi and senior coach Steve Komphela missed their final preparations. The former was the technical director in the Compact Cup, while Komphela had a family bereavement in Free State.
