Mamelodi Sundowns legend Hlompho Kekana has weighed in on the matters around Thapelo Maseko, saying perhaps the winger and the club need to reach an agreement to part ways.
Maseko, 21, took to social media over the weekend to express his frustrations about the lack of game-time at Chloorkop and how it is all eating away at his love for the game and his confidence.

The 21-year-old winger joined the league champions two seasons ago from the now-defunct SuperSport United and impressed under Rulani Mokwena and even became a regular in the senior national team.
Last season, he struggled for game-time, however there were also reports of him having caught the eyes of clubs in Europe but a move never materialised.
“When you see a player showing his frustration on the socials, that tells you that he doesn’t want to be at that camp,” said former Downs captain Kekana on Soccerzone.
“And it’ll be wise if the two parties sit and discuss that and maybe come into an agreement to say, ‘we shake hands, you go your way, I’ll go my way’.
“Because if you see a player in that state of mind, I don’t think he can now play for you in the next season.”
The former Brazilians midfielder added that there needs to be open communication between the club and players when it comes to potential transfer matters.
“I think it has to come from the player and the club, how they communicate in this thing,” added the former Black Leopards man.
“Because sometimes I can just hear a rumour about me being wanted somewhere. I need to just go to the club and tell them, this is what the offer says and then, let’s make sense from that.
“I cannot just go out and be like you know, the team wants me from overseas and then I start, saying I want to go. I need to understand that I still have a contract and there is still a lot investment on my services.”
