AmaBhakaniya Too Harsh on Mbuthuma?

With three meetings against Sekhukhune United on the horizon, the spotlight is firmly on Orlando Pirates striker Yanela Mbuthuma.
Orlando Pirates fan Pop Duma believes AmaBhakaniya have been too harsh on Mbuthuma as the Buccaneers prepare for a demanding run against Sekhukhune United.
Pirates face Sekhukhune in the MTN8 semi-final first leg this weekend, beginning a sequence of three consecutive matches between the sides.
The fixtures will also include a meeting in the Betway Premiership, adding another layer to an already significant stretch for both clubs.
For Mbuthuma, the occasion offers a chance to answer the criticism on the pitch. Duma’s defence of the forward points to the pressure that comes with leading the line for one of the country’s biggest clubs, where every missed opportunity can quickly become a talking point among supporters.
