Re-think for Matlaba

Phakaaathi Plus has learnt that Thabo Matlaba (right) is reconsidering his decision to snub Chippa United as he feels he is being ignored at Orlando Pirates. Matlaba refused to go on loan to Chippa earlier this season and was used in central midfield but as soon as Ben Motswari came back from injury, he never even made the match-day squad. “He is thinking about asking if the move is still possible but is waiting to see what happens with (Eric) Tinkler there (at Chippa). He would like to reunite with him and I think if Tinkler is still there in January, he will ask that they let him join them,” said a source.
