“Pitso gave me a hard time as a young boy. I used to get home crying and tell my brother that I’m not going back there. And my brother would say, ‘you must man up, go back to the gym’,” said Sekwale on Off The Pitch with TK.

“The sad part about Pitso is that he broke me. I nearly lost the passion for football at a very young age. I don’t remember what year it was but we were going to play in the AFCON U20… I remember two days before I went to the U20 camp, Pitso said, ‘when you come back, find yourself a new team,” he revealed.

“I remember there was this drill we were doing at training, and I was supposed to pass Richard Rantjie but then I switched play, and he was like, ‘no, no, Itumeleng, stop it man! There are no cameras here. You want people to see that you’ve scored? Pass man!”

“So, Pitso never liked me, and he couldn’t even hide. It was obvious for everyone to see that this man hated me,” added Sekwale.
