Mandla Ncikazi: Chiefs and Sundowns are jealous of Orlando Pirates, they don’t like us
“I like how knives become sharper for decisions against Orlando Pirates,” Ncikazi said on the series.
“If you can remember, I don’t think in the PSL it’s the first time you see two own goals in one match. You saw it in Siwelele vs Sundowns [match] but nobody is talking about it. For the first time you saw that Siwelele concede so many goals [seven goals], something that hasn’t happened in their history.
“I also saw it with Kaizer Chiefs. They played AmaZulu. I saw two own goals [in that game]. Why is it such a big issue [winning the league] if it happens with Pirates? Goes back to how much people want to see Pirates fail.
“A lot of people support Pirates but you must be aware while you’re succeeding, there are those [people] who don’t want you to succeed.
“I just see a hatred for the big institution [Orlando Pirates], which I understand. We’ve not won [the league] in 14 years. Sundowns led by 24 points [in front]. The following season 12 points [ahead] and now you win the league. Listen, people are not going to be happy.”
