The experienced star did not feature regularly for the Brazilians last season, leading to speculation he might leave
Former Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Bennet Mnguni has advised the Premier Soccer League side not to release Hlompho Kekana.
Kekana, who signed a long-term contract with Sundowns two years ago, did not feature prominently for the champions last season and that led to speculation he could leave the Pretoria side. Citing Kekana's experience, Mnguni said it would be critical for the club to consider having the midfielder in their ranks.
Experience needed
"What I can tell you is that Hlompho worked so hard for the team and if now the coaches don't see him the way he was before, the experience is still there," Mnguni told Sowetan Live.
