Former Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Bongani Zungu says he was saddened by the news of Rhulani Mokwena's demotion at Orlando Pirates.
The duo worked together at Masandawana where Mokwena served as the assistant coach to Pitso Mosimane as the Tshwane giants dominated local football.
Mokwena replaced Milutin 'Micho' Sredojevic as an interim coach in August 2019, but the Buccaneers struggled under his guidance.

The 34-year-old mentor was demoted back to assistant coach following the arrival of German tactician Josef Zinnbauer last week.
“You know personally I was very sad when I heard the news that he’s no longer the interim coach at Orlando Pirates," Zungu told FarPost.
