Monnapule Saleng had no contractual issue with Orlando Pirates – Agent reveals

Monnapule Saleng’s agent, Karabo Mathang-Tshabuse, has explained why Orlando Pirates froze the enterprising attacker last season before shipping him to Orbit College FC on loan.

The South African international struggled last season at Orlando Pirates over reported contractual issues. He made just 13 appearances for the Soweto giants, scoring five goals and delivering two assists.

However, Mathang-Tshabuse has swiftly rubbished issues regarding contract between his client and Orlando Pirates.

According to him, Saleng never pushed for a move to Al Ahly or an improved salary at Orlando Pirates.

“There was no contractual issue with Saleng and Orlando Pirates,” the agent said on Behind The Boot. “Orlando Pirates and Saleng brokered a very good deal, and a deal that helped Saleng achieve a multitude of things, including buying property.

“So, the Al Ahly deal is nothing further than the truth. At that stage, Monnapule Saleng was not looking to leave. He was at Orlando Pirates, invested in the team, but just going through something,” she added.

In the meantime, Saleng is yet to make an impact at Orbit with no goal or assist in six games so far.
