Speaking in an exclusive interview with Soccer Laduma, Mpontshane revealed which other goalkeeper’s trade he admires besides Khune’s.
“It’s Denis Onyango. His situation was similar to mine. When he arrived at Mamelodi Sundowns, he was third or fourth choice, but he persevered. He was on the bench for a long time but now you won’t touch him with the way he is playing. That means he was working hard. He doesn’t shout a lot. He is cool. He plays like me and crosses don’t go past him,” Mpontshane said.
