Motsepe said:

“We have said when the opportunity comes, we want to honour Hlompo with our supporters. A testimonial is something we can explore, obviously Covid-19 permitting, but it is definitely something we are looking to do, and we are hoping it is possible with the government regulations."

“For now there are other things that can be done in a no stadium type of environment. We will always be looking for the opportunity. The YouTube testimonial we did was to make sure he is respected by the club.”
