Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Themba Zwane hails his former coach Pitso Mosimane after several seasons spent together as “Jingles” moves to Egyptian Premier League giants Al Ahly.
Pitso Mosimane informed Sundowns officials Wednesday that he is quitting the club, something the club’s chairman Dr Patrice Motsepe in a media release, has approved and supported.
Though it is reported that Pitso could go with Gaston Sirino at Cairo, the Uruguayan centre-forward is yet to react. But Themba Zwane has lauded ” The Real Pitso” for the role he played in his success and that of Mamelodi Sundowns.

“He would give you the mentality that he has, which is of always [being] on your toes, don’t take things for granted – you play one game, you forget about it and focus on the next.
“He has done well for himself and the team, and for the country. And he has played a big role towards myself, to be honest, because he was always on top of me.
