Thulani offers apology

Orlando Pirates captain Thulani Hlatshwayo (below) is said to have manned up to his mistakes and apologised to his team-mates and technical team. Hlatshwayo’s mistakes – an own goal against Swallows and and a misplaced pass that led to a goal against Mamelodi Sundowns – cost the Buccaneers dearly. He has apologised, claimed a source. “He is such a fantastic guy and everyone felt so bad for him. He apologised to the team and everyone accepted his apology and offered him their full support. He also asked for some time-out,” said the source.
