Sadio Mane: Made with love - Fans praise Senegal star's statue while others don't recognise the forward

I think this was done in Egypt because Sadio Mane made every Egyptian cry. So, I understand why they did it like that. -Joe Kabuka

This is disrespect. A Mane statue unveiled in Dakar. How is this even Mane? -@prince_josaito

Whoever made this statue of Sadio Mane must be a comedian. -@SamsonOtto

The artist who made this statue is really a hero from zero. Have you seen, how he has managed to deform and disfigure the footballer's face in the name being a praise singer? -James Katumwa

The person who made this statue has issues with Sadio. I would love to see the look on his [Mane’s] face when he sees it. -Tamara Mapiri

It's all about recognition. Not everyone will have the privilege of being recognised and honoured like that. -Tshiamo Chabalala

This is his level of expertise and he made sure he used it to demonstrate his love. Unless you are comparing his art. He has a heart of gold. -Tofa Albashir Seidou

How can some people be so mean. For all we know and see, this sculptor is proud of his work. -Electric concrete block machines

The purpose for which this is made is nothing but to design a caricature of him [Mane].

-Kokouvi Tete Glikpo

Let's give him a round of applause. He tried his best. -Soyaphi Waka Miyambo

It doesn't look like Mane. I can give the artist 0.05/10. -Happy Ntuli

The statue doesn't look like Sadio. Maybe, it's a monitoring spirit. As Sadio Mane’s fans, we rebuke it. Holy Ghost Fire. -Edwardo Dianz

Sad but the artist made it with love. At least he did something to honour and appreciate Mane while he's still alive. Remember, it is a wood statue. Applause to Bambali wood artist, that's a matter of his/ her heart. -Thabo Touchman

Aowa! Even our own Rasta could have drawn better. Nice try though. -Mariamore Seanego

It is the thought that counts. Surely Mane would love and appreciate the statue since it was made with love by a fellow Bambalian. -Sifiso Melokuhle Mthembu

He can collect it out of respect for the artist, then hide it in his backyard for entertainment purposes when he is stressed/bored. -Terry Mwape Lubula

Nice body work but on the face, let them replace it with a better head. Anyway, wood maybe hard to work with, I think. -Sidney Chambo

Art is an expression of hidden feelings. Sometimes what we picture in our mind is quite different from the final touches. At least, he tried unveiling his potential. Let us encourage than criticising, it can cause more damage to him. -Kuston M Egoville
