Former Kaizer Chiefs defender Patrick Mayo has explained why he wouldn’t advise his son Khanyisa Mayo to join Mamelodi Sundowns at this stage in his career.
The Cape Town City forward has been heavily linked with a move to Chloorkop in recent months after the injury of their main forward Peter Shalulile.
His father, though, says he should only join the Masandawana if he gets guaranteed game-time.
“I wouldn’t advise him [Khanyisa] to go to Sundowns,” Mayo told the Sowetan.
“I can only say to him if he wants to go to Sundowns, I will have my own conditions in his contract. One of those conditions is that he has to play 90% of the games.
“Sundowns have a large pool of players, and some of them are already struggling for game-time.
“Khanyisa is very young and fragile, so if he is not going to get game-time at Sundowns, he will be frustrated.
“I don’t want to see that. He is getting game-time at City, so it doesn’t make sense that he joins a team where he won’t play.”
Patrick Mayo, who played between 2003 and 2007 for Chiefs, has two sons currently playing in the DStv Premiership, with Khanyisile Mayo on the books of Chippa United.
