Nakuba uMicho ebephatheke kabi ngokuphunyukwa yithuba lokwengeza ezinkomishini ezisekhabetheni leBucs kodwa ubalule ukuthi unethemba lokuthi lokhu ngeke kubadikibalise ikakhulukazi abalandeli ngoba indlela iqembu lakhe elidlale ngayo kufanele yanelise noma ubani owuqonda kahle unobhutshuzwayo.
“Sikwenze konke obekufanele sikwenze kodwa sangayithola imiphumela ebesiyifuna. Empilweni kunezinto ongazihlela ngendlela othanda ngayo kodwa futhi kukhona ezihlelwa wuMdali.

“Besiwuphethe umdlalo futhi iBaroka besiyithwese kanzima. Sizame konke kodwa kwacaca ukuthi inhlanhla ayikho ngakithina. Nokukhishwa kwekhadi akunginiki ukuthula kahle (enhliziyweni) ngoba kwenzeke phambi kwami. Bekungafanele kube yikhadi elibomvu ngoba uMunetsi udlale ibhola kuphela. Asikho nokho isidingo sokukhalela osekwenzekile ngoba ngeke kusashintsha.
“Sizobhukula ngemuva kwalo mphumela sizame ukuguqula isimo. Isekhona iligi, CAF Champions League kanti neNedbank Cup iseza futhi. Ngesikhathi sekhefu zishintshile izinto saqhubeka nokuhlasela kodwa kwanhlanga zimuka nomoya. Sigadle zephuka.
