Orlando Pirates striker Mhango understands why Zinnbauer benched him for Hotto

In all competitions the Malawian registered 32 games, six goals and two assists while the Namibian played 45 matches with seven goals and 10 assists

Orlando Pirates striker Gabadinho Mhango claims to have no issue with coach Josef Zinnbauer having regularly given preference to Deon Hotto last season.

Last season was a stop-start one for Mhango, who had in the previous campaign been the joint top scorer in the league with 16 goals for the Sea Robbers.

Despite Mhango being a natural striker, Zinnbauer at times left the former Bloemfontein Celtic, Golden Arrows and Bidvest Wits man on the bench and used players such as Hotto, Vincent Pule and Thembinkosi Lorch (all of them attacking/ wide midfielders) upfront.
