For me, personally, no one has the audacity to come and tell me when I should retire because that person was not there when I started playing football.

You know, that’s why I say hard work pays off. Just keep working. God will answer your prayers and just keep praying.

More quotes by Mpumi Nyandeni

The way I loved football, I just wanted to be around the football pitch; I would ref sometimes.

Football is my world – without it, there’s little else for me. My passion for the game is boundless, and I aim to keep playing for as long as I can. That’s how deep my love for football runs.

I’m proud of myself because I never thought that I would be where I am today.

I will retire when my body is no longer able to carry me. I will retire on my own accord.

I am a firm believer that discipline, hard work, and passion are the best form of ingredients for a player to last as long as I have in the game.
