Orlando Pirates' new signing Nkanyiso Zungu has opened up about his conversation with the club's chairman Irvin Khoza after signing with the Soweto giants.
Zungu joined Pirates from Stellenbosch in a move confirmed on the final day of the January transfer window.
The 24-year old has told Pirates' official website that his most memorable moment so far at the club was when he received an opportunity to speak with the chairman.
"That would have to be the chat I had with the Chairman after I signed. You know as players we are often only spoken too in football terms but with the Chairman it was more about the human being and about life in general which I really appreciated," said Zungu, as quoted on Bucs' website.
"Without going into too much detail the Chairman told me what this brand stood for and what impact joining a big club will mean and how everywhere I go from now on people will recognise me which means I should act in a responsible manner at all times. He explained how football is a short career and how I must make the opportunity count. Above all he told me to respect the badge in all that I do both on and off the field. He said being a Pirates player means that I can't do wrong things like drinking and going to nightclubs, he said I must avoid behaviour that is bad for my career, period," the midfielder added.
