Ngokuba ndivakala njengoSteve Komphela emva kokungaphumeleli; asiphumelelanga ngenxa yebala – yinyaniso leyo. Eli bala alisincedanga. Umthetho wethu sidlala ibhola ehamba phantsi, lo nto ayenzekanga apha – kodwa ke libala lethu. Angeke sikhalaze,” utshilo uPitso emva komdlalo.

Ndicinga ukuba uRamagalela ubenomdlalo angazange awufumane ebomini bakhe. Kodwa ke yintlalisenzeka leyo xa sidlala nabadlali ababedlalela iDowns. Yifolosi edlala kakuhle kakhulu, andiqondi uyakuze afake igowuli elinjeya kwakhona,” utshilo uPitso kwiSuperSport TV.
