“I think he is a good young player and he has shown what he can give to the club and to the country also,” Mthethwa said as quoted by KickOff.

“I think there is a lot more that is still coming from him but the only thing I can say is he should just be humble and continue respect.” He will go [abroad], for me, he is an abroad player.
