Cape Town City midfielder Mpho ‘Bibo’ Makola says his side is struggling because of his absence.
The 33-year-old player has been handed a six-month ban by the Premier Soccer League (PSL) for shoving referee Abongile Tom during a Telkom Knockout match against Kaizer Chiefs in October.
Makola, who was on the books of Orlando Pirates between 2012 and 2019, admitted that he is not proud of what he did and he regrets his actions.
“That was wrong of me and I regret it. That’s something that I wouldn’t want kids to see because obviously, I am a role model and I know a lot of kids were watching and it was not a good image,” Makola told FarPost.
