Moffat Mdluli’s six-year absence away from professional football has made him realise who really are his true friends.
Mdluli revealed to Sowetan that during those years when he didn’t have a team after he left Free State Stars, who were relegated then, most of his so-called"best friends" stood from a distance as he sank into depression.
“It was tough for me because even the friends you think are your friends walked away from me and you had to motivate yourself every day,” Mdluli explained to Sowetan. The 32-year-old, who also played for SuperSport United and Polokwane City in the past, is grateful for the opportunity he was given now by Royal.“It was really hard getting money to support my son,” he said.
“So, they were happy with that and I’m grateful for that and I’m happy with everything. They will always have a special space in my heart. Coming from not playing for six years to getting a team like this, if it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t be here.”
