The strength and conditioning trainer was shown some appreciation by Gaston Sirino's wife, Melanie, to inspiring her husband's comeback and for encouraging him in difficult times.
"Thank you, we will never forget your words in difficult times and that you helped bring out the best in my husband. Thank you, God bless you. You are one of those people who inspires," shared Melanie.
Sirino commented on Hlabangwana's appreciation post dedicated to him, noting: "You always have to push, thanks brother, see you soon," perhaps signaling there's plenty of work the experienced campaigner wants to do with Mavreka.

During the off-season after Sirino parted ways with Mamelodi Sundowns, the 33-year-old was put through his paces by Hlabangwana.
The fitness coach shared a series of their workouts from Sirino's residence, which kept the player fresh and prepared for his move to the Soweto giants.
