Trending: 'Mokoena chose to retire at 24' - Rival fan banter after Mamelodi Sundowns move

After SuperSport United confirmed Teboho Mokoena had joined Premier Soccer League side Mamelodi Sundowns, rivals fans hit back with banter on social media.

Mokoena, who had been heavily linked with Kaizer Chiefs, has made the big move to Sundowns.

The 24-year-old star received several awards, including the 2020-21 goal of the season and three goal of the month accolades, and also represented the South African national team at U17, U20, and U23 levels.

Other than jokes from rival fans, neutrals and Masandawana fans feel the signing by the Tshwane giants is the best since Peter Shalulile's arrival.

How Twitter reacted to Mokoena's Sundowns move:

teboho mokoena chose to retire at 24

I know many of my fellow fans wanted Teboho Mokoena to join Kaizer Chiefs but at the rate management is moving, they do not give a damn about competing with the likes of Sundowns to buying the player. Guyzini brace yourselves coz la we ain't winning Jack with the squad we got. 💀

Sundowns signing Teboho Mokoena, while my beloved @KaizerChiefs is embroiled in a so called signing of Sithebe??? YHO I'm sick to my stomach.

How did Kaizer Chiefs miss out on signing Teboho Mokoena ? Was the price-tag that much of a hindrance ?

Thing is, Chiefs is living on the glory of the past. Our FC is finished!

Teboho Mokoena made the best decision by choosing the bigger club that will help him grow as a player in African Football and as a Mamelodi Sundowns fan have to say African teams ain't ready for us cause we are about to dominate the Champions league.💛💛💛

Not happy about the Teboho Mokoena move to Sundowns, another talent to warm the bench or fill the DiskiChallenge😩

Within just 6 months at Mamelodi Sundowns, Teboho Mokoena will the a PSL champion. We are in a business of giving players silverware.

This is killing our football especially the National team. So many players in one team very unfair 😕. I wish Teboho Mokoena well in his riches but sorry for the wasted talent.
