Mngqithi, however, has maintained that there was still competition at the Tshwane giants, and everybody had to earn their place in the starting lineup. Speaking to the media after Sundowns' 2-0 victory over SuperSport United at Loftus Versfeld Stadium on Tuesday, Mngqithi said he did not listen to the 'rubbish people say about him on social media."So I don't listen to all the rubbish that people would say, so that helps because sometimes you would be emotional from just maybe the pictures people send and put their thing and talk rubbish.
