I terminated my contract with Sundowns because I wanted a fresh start: Keletso Makgalwa

Keletso Makgalwa’s decision to leave Mamelodi Sundowns and downgrade to the National First Division is paying dividends.

Makgalwa did the unexpected when he left the PSL side for the NFD team, Upington City, in Northern Cape.

That decision seems to have revived the player as Sekhukhune United signed a man reborn as he has been impressing for Babina Noko in the Betway Premiership. Makgalwa has been one of United’s best players which has seen the Limpopo side rise on the PSL standings as they are presently second.

“I terminated my contract with Sundowns because I needed to start afresh,” Makgalwa said.

“I told myself that one day I want to see myself in the Bafana Bafana team, so I need to work hard and make sure that I come back very strong."

The nippy midfielder is part of Bafana’s current camp ahead of their international friendly against Zambia on Saturday in Gqeberha.

“I'd like to thank the coach for giving me an opportunity to be part of this amazing group,” he added.

The former Moroka Swallows attacking midfielder will be hoping he earns his maiden international cap on Saturday as Bafana coach Hugo Broos prepares for next month’s Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.
