Tinkler hits back at Pitso over Meza saga

Maritzburg United coach Eric Tinkler has responded to Pitso Mosimane’s claims about striker Ali Meza.


This comes after Mosimane reportedly questioned Maritzburg’s decision to hand Meza a trial before deciding whether or not to sign him.

Meza was spotted training with Maritzburg before the start of the season, but has since gone back to Sundowns.

Tinkler says Mosimane must get his facts straight before commenting on the Meza issue.

“When last did Ali Meza play, we didn’t ask for him, they requested for him to come train here. There was never a deal. Meza came here and said he has family problems and I said ok, go back. I don’t know where Pitso’s attack comes from,” Tinkler told SAFM.

“Pitso must get his facts straight before he starts attacking. There was never a deal for Ali Meza. He came here and said he has family problems and that his family must come first. I said fine and he went back.”
