Cape Town City chairman John Comitis has revealed that it was an easy decision for Lebogang Manyama and Aubrey Ngoma to pledge their loyalty to the club.

The Mother City side officially confirm that Manyama and Ngoma have signed new long-term deals which keeps them at the club until the 2020-21 season.

Comitis has revealed that it was an easy decision for Manyama and Ngoma to commit their long-term futures to the club.

‘With the ambitious and exciting plans for Cape Town City in the near future, it was an easy decision for Aubrey and Lebo to stay, as they are determined to play integral parts in this journey,’ Comitis said.

‘Our players are at the top of their game because they are happy, motivated and love the club. The team plays for one another and therefore plays without fear.

‘When ‘in-demand’ players like Aubrey and Lebo make a statement and long-term commitment like this you begin to understand just how powerful and unified this team is becoming.’

The club’s chairman insists that the club is not here to ‘cash in’ on players but to compete for titles and trophies each season.

‘This sends a clear message that Cape Town City FC is a club for the future. One that strives to play a dynamic brand of football, keeping the talent necessary to compete for trophies every season,’ He added.

‘The idea of “cashing in” is not part of our strategy. We are not a selling club, we are here to win. Our fans and trophy cabinet are what is ultimately important as we strive to bring fan culture and pride back to the Mother City.’
