Talented South African midfielder Mkhanyiseli Siwahla appears to have given up on his dream of playing for Kaizer Chiefs.
Since coming through the ranks as the youngest player to score a goal in Mzansi's top-flight at the age of 15 for Ajax Cape Town in 2004, Siwahla hoped that one day he would get an opportunity to turn out for Chiefs, the club he supported while growing up.
The 31-year-old, who is enjoying his football in Poland with KS Proch Pionki, says his past which was characterised by reports of off-field incidents could affect him.
"Obviously, I grew up supporting Chiefs, and that was because of Jabu Pule (now Mahlangu), when he played for the team, as I liked the way he played. Jabu made me (fall) in love with Kaizer Chiefs. I am not a supporter but Jabu made me (fall) in love with the team. The way Jabu played at Chiefs made me see myself playing for the team one day," said Siwahla.
"But now I can say that it's not something that will happen anymore, because of my past. It's not something that I am thinking of. I am fine here (outside) Mzansi and I am keen to finish my career out of the country (South Africa), if that happens. I don't know what the future holds," the Nyanga-born player told the Siya crew.
