Shonga was introduced in the second half of the Sea Robbers’ Telkom Knockout 1-0 victory over Stellenbosch FC on Saturday and Mokwena was happy with his contribution in the match.
“It was good to see him on the pitch and in Buccaneers’ colours,” Mokwena told the media after the game
“Slowly but surely he is also fighting to get his place back in the team. And that is all you ask of a player. You ask them to be competitive and contribute.”
