Mamelodi Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane says the criticism they get when they buy players from other teams makes it look like they are not promoting their own products from their youth ranks.
After signing Sammy Seabi from Polokwane City and Mauricio Affonso from Peruvian side Club Alianza Lima at the beginning of the season, Mosimane also brought in goalkeeper Abram Ngcobo and midfielder Promise Mkhuma from their reserve side.
This was after the coach had gone on a shopping spree the previous season to secure likes of Reyaad Pieterse, Mosa Lebusa, Lyle Lakay, Lebohang Maboe, Jose Ali Meza, Emiliano Tade and Phakamani Mahlambi, as well as signing Andile Jali and Toni Silva as free agents.
