Kaizer Chiefs defender Njabulo Ngcobo has apologised for misbehaving after he was substituted during a match in Durban on Wednesday.
A visible annoyed Ngcobo refused to shake hands with Chiefs coach Arthur Zwane after he was substituted during Amakhosi’s 2-1 loss to Lamontville Golden Arrows in a DStv Premiership match at the Princess Magogo Stadium in KwaMashu.
“I would like to sincerely apologise to coach Arthur Zwane, coach Dillon Sheppard, coach Lee Baxter, my teammates, Kaizer Chiefs management and all Amakhosi supporters for not shaking the coach’s hand and for the outburst that followed after being taken off,” Ngcobo said.
The 27-year-old former Swallows FC defender from Folweni in KwaZulu-Natal added that he’s ashamed of what he did.
“I take full responsibility for my actions and such should not be repeated. I am not proud of what I did,” he said.
“It was a heat of the moment thing because I made some costly mistakes during the match and it’s not nice knowing that you’ve let the team down as a player, but that does not justify any of my actions. I promise to do better in the future.”
