While lauding the Hluhluwe-born left-footed star, Ouaddou, was quick to strike a balance between praise and caution.

“I have seen him again today [Saturday], he is just unbelievable, it’s a performance for big clubs in Europe, and we are happy to have him at Orlando Pirates, a big club in Africa, but he has to keep working,” the Orlando Pirates mentor concluded.
