Mokwena reveals a privilege enjoyed by Sundowns youngsters.


Mamelodi Sundowns head coach, is slowly introducing some talented youngsters in the senior team.

The likes of Ntando Nkosi, Siyabonga Mabena and Jerome Karelse have had a taste of what it is like to play for the Dstv Premiership serial winners.

Mokwena has highlighted how much of a privilege it is for Sundowns youngsters to be training with, and learning from the likes of Themba Zwane and Marcello Allende.

"I try so much to guard my words and don’t misinterpret me. What I am saying is that the privilege of training with Themba Zwane, Marcelo Allende and doing extra training with Denis Onyango and Ronwen Williams is something that as a 16, 17 or 18-year-old teenager I would do anything for that," said Mokwena as quoted by Times Live. https://www.timeslive.co.za/sport/soccer/

"They will grow, they will get to that space and we will coach and help them to become better and better."

According to Mokwena, Siphelele Mkhulise, and former Sundowns forward, Percy Tau, had to go through a more difficult route, with loan spells to continue their football education and gain experience.

"With the young ones you have to accept, unfortunately you are paying school fees. They can only learn by making mistakes and they will get better. If you look at Sphelele Mkhulise, he had to go to Black Leopards to get game time and learn. 

"Let’s look at Percy (Tau), he had to go out on loan to get his minutes and learn. They are very fortunate and privileged and they should never forget this. They are actually learning from some of the best already."
