The Ghost warned to stop bullying Mpontshane: Orlando Pirates coach Jose Riveiro has condemned the booing which was directed towards the team's goalkeeper Siyabonga Mpontshane by Bucs faithful, saying bullying was a serious issue in society.
Big errors in the defeats to Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns have seen Mpontshane being on the wrong side of the Pirates supporters and subsequently dropped by the technical team, despite him playing an influential part in the team's run to winning the MTN8.
During his warm-up, Mpontshane was derided by fans, who signalled their disapproval of him. Overwhelmed by emotions, Mpontshane faced the crowd that was booing him and that stirred up the hostile atmosphere. The incident between Mpontshane and the fans was brought to Riveiro's attention during the post-match press conference.
“Bullying is something terrible in every scenario, in the school, in the stadium, or the office, it’s something which is not nice. It’s something we all should take seriously because sometimes we don’t want to talk about it and we should but it’s too deep to talk about [in a press conference].
