“I was frustrated because of not being able to play, but the tremendous support I got from my family and friends helped a lot,” said Kabelo Mahlasela, who is recovering from a knee surgery. As a result, the attacking midfielder has as yet to make his debut in Kaizer Chiefs colours since signing from Bloemfontein Celtics in January.
