Asked how he would describe his two months with Gallants, Mnisi responded: "In a nutshell, I don’t know whether I should say it’s a journey that was worth taking or whether I should say from the fire into the frying pan, or whether I should say it was a very good journey.
"But I will be in a better space to clear the air once the [Marumo Gallants] chairman has given a clear indication to an official statement."
