Stars Remove Sambu's Armband
21 February 2012
The Siya crew has it on good authority that Platinum Stars' poor form has led to the club deciding against keeping Mbuyiselo Sambu as their captain.
The decision to remove the armband from the former Bloemfontein Celtic defender was taken shortly after the side’s disappointing 3-2 loss against Ajax Cape Town recently.
Speaking to the Siya crew, a disappointed Sambu revealed that he has accepted the decision and is looking forward to continuing his career.
“That’s true I’m no longer the captain of the club. I believe it was the club’s decision although it came to me through the coach (Owen da Gama). The coach explained to me that the decision had to be taken to relieve me from the pressure.
"That’s their decision and all I had to do was to accept it. Maybe I lacked the leadership qualities, I don’t know. But I think I did fairly well although I might have had my mistakes,” said Sambu.
The former Bush Bucks player was appointed captain of the side at the beginning of the season following the departure of the previous captain, Stanley Kgatla, to AmaZulu.

Relieving the captain of the captaincy will not help Da Gama.He's frustrated & now looks for a scapegoat,someone to blame.It's not the captain,they're not doing well,that's all.They must search for a new coach if they wanna survive relegation,Cosmos are breathing down their neck heavily.
