In this edition of Negotiating Behind the Scenes, Benson Mhlongo reveals details of his surprise move from Mamelodi Sundowns to Orlando Pirates. Read more here ▶️
"What happened was while I was still playing for Sundowns, Sis Zodwa [Khoza] wanted me to join Pirates. That was just before she passed on. She used to send Tso Vilakazi to convince me, that happened during the national team camps. Towards the end of my contract at Sundowns they took long to negotiate. So, during pre-season when my contract was left with some weeks, I went to the Sundowns offices. I found Kaizer Chiefs defender Valery Nahayo and another centre-back sitting there.
Nahayo was there to negotiate, so they made me wait, and those two centre-backs went in before me. As the captain of the team, that made very furious. I had to cut my holiday in Nelspruit very short just to come and negotiate. From there, I went straight to the offices of Orlando Pirates to tell them I was available. I couldn't stay in a place where I didn't feel happy. I signed the contract and returned to Nelspruit to continue my holiday.
