Polokwane City are a small team – Ramagalela

Highlands City striker Rodney Ramagalela has revealed that he was not nervous to face his former side Polokwane City in the first leg of the MTN8 semi-finals last weekend.


Ramagalela came on for Tendai Ndoro in the second half but could not help his side beat Rise and Shine, with the game ending in a 0-0 draw.

“Polokwane is my home even though we had our differences. It’s the beautiful game. We have to enjoy it,” Ramagalela told SABC Sport.

“It was good for me to be back especially against my former team. I felt at home because they never booed me like they used to do in Venda. I was happy to be here. I am trying to get back to my best, as you know I lost my daughter few weeks ago. It hasn’t been easy. But as a footballer I just have to carry myself and keep going.”

“I have never been nervous of facing anyone,”

“Polokwane City are like any team in the PSL. I can’t be nervous. It’s not like (Mamelodi) Sundowns or (Orlando) Pirates, Polokwane City, with all due respect, they are still a small team. So, there is no nervousness when it comes to football, especially for RamaG.”
