Retired South African players deserve VIP tickets ahead of soapie stars - Mohlala

Former Mamelodi Sundowns and South Africa defender Lovers Mohlala has complained about the way retired South African footballers are not given the same respect as their counterparts in Europe.

Mohlala who also played for Bidvest Wits, Amazulu and Black Leopards feels former football players are not taken seriously by current football administrators.

“Retired South African players have to beg for match tickets. We are being treated like we did not contribute and play a role... I am not happy,” Mohlala told SunSport.
