According to IOL, she said:

“We as Chiefs want to retain our players, we want to pay them well and to take care of them. But we also have to be realistic. There needs to be respect in the industry with all the role players. The agents must respect the team, the team must respect the player and the club must respect the agent, it's a whole ecosystem and we need to respect each other.”
