'Mhlongo retirement breaks my heart' - Sangweni on ex-Orlando Pirates keeper's agony

The Lamontville Golden Arrows legend has offered some support for his former teammate, who recently received some devastating news

Ex-Orlando Pirates defender Siyabonga Sangweni has urged Brighton Mhlongo to be upbeat after the Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila goalkeeper sustained a career-ending eye injury.

The 30-year-old sustained the injury after the ball knocked him flush in the face during a training session according to Tshakhuma head coach Dylan Kerr.

The former Pirates player has been deemed partially blind after visiting a number of specialist eye doctors and he was advised that he should retire from professional football.
