Coach Steve Komphela had his say after parting ways with Moroka Swallows on Monday.
The club confirmed his exit through a statement and added; “there remains a mutual respect between both parties”.
For his part, Komphela, who’s been around the block in South Africa’s Premier Soccer League, has broken his silence by sending a compelling message.
“May I kindly take the opportunity, to thank you for your amazing perseverance and professionalism,” he wrote to the players and staff.
“You portrayed selfless resilience, irrespective (of the) circumstances. There were moments, where none of us would know what more to say to you but you always carried yourselves with poise, pride, dignity and amazing respect. Thank you for respecting the Game, respecting the League and The Supporters. I shall always respect and remember you. Finally, at least, at the least, the suspense, the sad painful uncertainty comes to a decisive end, May you forever be blessed henceforth and forever. Notwithstanding the circumstances, you have already collected 19 points to build from.
“May I kindly request you to give the same support to Coaches Musa Nyatama, Ditheko Mototo and Thela Ngobeni. Good luck my brothers with the delicate task lying ahead. Give it your best. It’s illegal to enter an exit. Thank you all with your amazing support. With Love, Steve Komphela.
The ‘Dube Birds’ currently occupy 13th spot on the log, after 17 matches.
