    WHAT HAPPENED?

    Thapelo Maseko has been struggling for regular game time at Mamelodi Sundowns despite his quality. 

    Recently, the 21-year-old conceded all is not well, sharing with the public the emotional struggles he is facing to keep 'the football fire burning.'

    The former SuperSport United (now Siwelele FC) player is not enjoying his game anymore, from what he posted.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Super agent Mike Makaab has now challenged Maseko's handlers to find a solution. 

    He argues Kobamelo Kodisang had the same problem before a solution that benefited both the club and the player was reached.

    Kodisang recently sealed a move to Portuguese outfit AVS Futebol SAD where he is seemingly happy and ready to enjoy football again.

  • WHAT MAKAAB SAID

    "You have to do everything possible to find a solution," Makaab reacted to the situation.

    "We had a similar situation with Kobamelo Kodisang and managed to resolve it to the benefit of both the player and the club. 

    "But each situation has its own set of challenges," he concluded.

    WHAT NEXT?

    At 21, Maseko has already proved he can deliver for both Masandawana and Bafana Bafana regardless of who he comes up against.

    The involved parties have to sit and discuss the way forward since the versatile fullback is just too good to be frozen out.
