Bante, Selogelo cleared to play :: Mmegi Online

FRANCISTOWN: Two former Sua Flamingoes players have said that they have finally been cleared to play after a doctor initially warned them that they risked death should they continue playing.

Defender Relebanye ‘Size’ Selogelo and forward Thabiso Bante were released by Sua Flamingoes early this year after a report by a doctor who conducted an electrocardiogram (ECG) scan on them diagonised some heart problems.

The ECG scan is a test that is often used by local clubs to scan players’ heart rhythm and electrical activity. Sua Flamingoes appointed the doctor to conduct a medical on all its players. Yesterday, Selogelo said he went to a specialist after Flamingoes released him. “ I did test at Nyangabgwe Referral Hospital (NRH). I wanted a second opinion from a specialist. Following a thorough assessment the cardiologist gave me the go ahead to continue playing,” Selogelo said.
