Monnapule Saleng’s Parents Open Up About His Struggles at Pirates
Orlando Pirates winger Monnapule Saleng has been making headlines across South Africa. His parents spoke with Sunday World about his challenges at the club.
Mother’s Thoughts:
“Luckily, he arrived before his team did, and he had the chance to play in the MTN 8 final even though he didn’t train for it. He performed well and scored a goal. He just wants the team to compensate him fairly.”
Father’s Perspective:
“I’m heartbroken. He’s the one who looks after us, and seeing him go through this professionally pains me. I wish he would open up to me about what’s really troubling him before it’s too late. The main issue is his contract, and we want him to stay with Pirates, one of the biggest clubs in the country.”
While Saleng’s situation remains unresolved, he’s currently with Bafana Bafana, preparing for the second leg of the CHAN qualifier against Egypt in Ismailia on Sunday.
