Speaking in an interview, the three former Mochudi Centre Chiefs players - Jerome Ramatlhakwane, Dirang Moloi and Phenyo Mongala - revealed that they are enjoying their stay in the central African country. Although they might be far away from home to them this does not matter as they are out there furthering their soccer careers. To them, playing in the DRC is just like playing in neighboring South Africa.
The three players were recruited by the DRC side, Don Bosco, last month after Chiefs' encounter against another DRC team, TP Mazembe in the Confederation of African Football (CAF) club championships. Although Chiefs were eliminated by the DRC side via a humiliating 7-0 aggregate score, the trio managed to impressed Don Bosco. The three players are currently in camp with the Botswana senior national team, the Zebras. They were fielded when Zebras played against Ethiopia in a World Cup qualifying game last Saturday. During an interview, Mongala told Mmegi Sport that they are happy with life in Lumbubashi where their club is based. There is not much to complain about really, but the atmosphere in DRC is just fine. We are not there for a holiday," he said.
