"I need to thank all the people that were looking after me like Prosport, the KZN Aacademy technical team, the likes of Carlos Catalino, Madam Gugu Marawa and Jorge Prazeres, because without them I wasn't going to get the chance to come this far...

It's also affirmation for us as an academy that we are doing something right, and above all affording these kids with an opportunity to realise their dreams. "Yaya is a great talent and we have no doubt he can go all the way, we are extremely proud of him." Sithole was spotted by Sporting during the Durban U19 tournament last year.
