MANQOBA Mngqithis middle name is Brilliant. It is an apt name because, damn, the man is brilliant.
On an evening when he essentially served the Doubting Thomases with large helpings of humble pie as he led Mamelodi Sundowns to a 2-0 Betway Premiership victory over SuperSport United which showed the Brazilians are once again the team to beat Mngqithi also handled a media corps thirsty for scandalous news with the brilliance of a man who understands himself.
Iqraam Rayners and Lucas Ribeiro Costa grabbed the goals to hand Masandawana all three points.
The coach was asked why it was that he was using the talismanic Themba Zwane sparingly, bringing him on from the bench despite the huge impact he always makes the journalist actually suggesting it is an injustice to football and a problem.
Its a very good question. Its a very good question, Mngqithi responded, the sarcasm pretty thick.
