Pitso Mosimane pleads Yanela Mbuthuma patience as he hands him a call up

Pitso Mosimane has pleaded patience for Orlando Pirates striker Yanela Mbuthuma.

The Bafana Bafana coach said the striker needed a chance than all the heavy criticism he has been receiving.

"Well, I don’t know what other people are saying and I don’t know why people brand him as an enemy,” said Mosimane.

“I think he’s a national team player. He scores goals for Orlando Pirates. I think you’ve seen him scoring few goals in Orlando Stadium.

“And yes, maybe he’s not scoring as much as you want, but he does score and he’s got a physical presence also and he’s hungry.

“Give him a chance.”
