"It's something we've been saying over and over again, it shows you that continuity is not our thing.

"It's not only a Pirates problem but a South African problem.

"That's why Sundowns will always remain dominant because they don't just release players.

"I didn't see Nyauza's departure coming, and think he was supposed to follow in the mould of Lucky Lekgwathi.

"Just because of the way he expressed himself at the club, as he appeared to take his job seriously.

"In all this, I have only one question, where is the continuity?

"As long as there is no continuity, clubs will struggle to be consistent.

"These players we are releasing part of the club's culture.

"Even Sundowns, they didn't become what they are overnight, keeping the core of the team it's what made them who they are today.

"Because if you look carefully, we have released all the players who performed well for us in Africa, like Thabang Monare, Linda Mntambo, who are all gone.

"The failure to not be promoting many players from our development ranks who gain success in the senior team shows there is no philosophy, no concept."
