Protect Ratomo! – Orlando Pirates striker

“He is a good kid, who works very hard and there is no doubt that he has a bright future at the club.” the Orlando Pirates star said as quoted by Citizen.

“He is a pure talent for the club and country which needs protection at all means for him to have a successful future without any interruptions.

“We have to be there for him and show him that sometimes things go wrong in football, but you have to keep your head up and continue everything you can to be at your best.”
