'You need happiness first': CT City striker Mayo warns Mashego not to sign for Chiefs

Cape Town City attacker Khanyisa Mayo has advised teammate Terrence Mashego not to join the Kaizer Chiefs.

Mashego has been tipped with a move to Amakhosi after his stellar displays in the past few seasons have seen him become a favourite of Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos.

The left-back was instrumental in helping City secure CAF Champions League football for next season with a second-place finish.

Chiefs, who finished fifth on the DStv Premiership standings, did not manage to qualify for CAF's premier tournaments, and Mayo would not understand if Mashego left for a club not playing Champions League football.

"My advice to Mashego would be, he knows what's best for him; look at what happened to players who went to Chiefs last season, and they didn't deliver," Mayo said as quoted by KickOff.

"Putting on that Kaizer Chiefs jersey is pressure on its own.

"For example, you can go to Mamelodi Sundowns and triple your salary, but the big question is, are you going to get game time there?" he asked. "For example, whoever thought a quality player like Teboho Mokoena would sit in the stands?

"As players, we have to understand that you need happiness first. Instead of just chasing after money, a player improves through playing.

"There was a time where Chiefs were relying on this boy, Nkosingiphile Ngcobo, when they couldn't sign players. Look at him now; is he getting game time? No.

"For example, I'm happy with my team; I wouldn't get the recognition of being selected for the national team if I was not playing."
