Orlando Pirates midfielder Makhehleni Makhaula has revealed that what kept him going during his injury was the support he got from the club including the club chairman Dr Irvin Khoza.
Makhaula, 36, sustained a long-term injury last season which saw him also miss the start of the current campaign. He has recently returned to the pitch much to the approval of the fans and has four matches under his belt this term.
The reigning Midfielder of the Season spoke about how the chairman was always calling to check on him and also the support of his teammates, especially those who have endured a similar injury meant to him.
“I think the support from the club,” answered Makhaula when asked about what kept him going during that period.
“The Chairman always called me and the players, the supporters, the family, the physios, the most important thing is Jesus Christ, because I always pray. And I always ask God for each and every day that he gives me and the strength that he always gives us all.
“And I think being around people who have faced this kind of injuries it helps, because Tshego [Mabasa] had the same injury as me, and he was always motivating me what I should do, and what I should not do.”
