Mkhize snubs Pirates

Cape Town City captain Thamsanqa Mkhize (right) has started contract talks with the MTN 8 champions amid interest from his former team Orlando Pirates. Mkhize was released by Pirates just two weeks after joining them as then coach Muhsin Ertugral felt he was not good enough. There have been rumours that Pirates wanted Mkhize back but he refused their offer as they wanted to sign him before the end of the transfer window last month. “He is staying at City and is happy there. He is captain and he can’t quit that for a team who spat him out like a sour grape,” said a source.
