South African Betway Premiership outfit Richards Bay FC owner and chairperson Sifiso Biyela has hailed Malawian forward Frank Gabadinho Mhango’s behaviour since he joined the club.
Biyela was quoted by farpost.co.za as having said the Flames captain has silenced his critics, maintaining good behaviour in his three months at the club as he joined in July.
The publication said Richards Bay faced criticism for signing Mhango, “who has a history of disciplinary issues at several of his former clubs, including his most recent team, Marumo Gallants”.
But Biyela added: “There was a lot of noise about his behaviour when we signed Mhango, but he has been here for three months and there hasn’t been a single issue.
He said Mhango, who has scored two goals in nine games, is leading by example as a senior player and a model “for upcoming players”.
On his part, the 33-year-old forward said he felt humbled by his club boss’ remarks.
He said: “Some people tend to exaggerate issues to suit their interests and there is little one can do about it as long as you know the truth.
“Sometimes they go overboard, but I guess it’s part of life.”
Mhango has spent 12 years in the Rainbow Nation and has played for Bloemfontein Celtic, Lamontville Golden Arrows, Bidvest Wits, Orlando Pirates, Amazulu, Moroka Swallows, Marumo Gallants and now Richards Bay.
