Mamelodi Sundowns player Thembinkosi Lorch broke down in tears after a video showing him and two unidentified women went viral on social media this week.
He was seen getting cosying up with the ladies and embracing them whilst dancing to Amapiano music.
Mamelodi Sundowns coach Rhulani Mokwena revealed that Lorch regrets the video.
“We brought him in to help the team, we brought him in knowing who he is and what he wants to do. Like everyone else, Lorch is a human being who makes mistakes,” Mokwena told Andile Ncube on Sports Night Amplified on Monday.
“Who's perfect? I'm more imperfect than him and I make more mistakes.”
“He called me… he was crying. It really hurt me because I'm close to the players. When the players cry… they get emotional, I get emotional too and I feel their pain and I cry.”
