Leaving Gunners Was Not Easy - Motlhabankwe

Former Lobtrans Gunners utility player Tshepo "Talk Talk" Motlhabankwe says it was not an easy decision to leave the Lobatse-based Premier League side after so many years.

Motlhabankwe was the only Gunners' player in the senior national team, the Zebras. He did not only make his name at Gunners but even in the national team as well.  Last weekend, after the Confederation of Southern Football Associations (COSAFA) Castle Cup game between Nambia and the Zebras, he was named "man of the match".


However, in a surprise move, Motlhabankwe dumped Gunners to join the chequebook-waving Mochudi Centre Chiefs.  He made his debut for Chiefs during the Kabelano Cup.
Motlhabankwe said he decided to quit Gunners to look for greener pastures.  He said Centre Chiefs and Township Rollers both came up with some attractive offers but he preferred Chiefs because they play almost the same style of football as Gunners. Motlhabankwe said he also wanted to leave Gunners for his personal development as a player.
