Mamelodi Sundowns legend Hlompho Kekana has explained why it is going to be a mountain to climb for Sipho Mbule's representatives to find the talented but wayward midfielder a club.
Mbule is set to exit Sundowns after they opted against extending his current deal beyond its expiry at the end of June.
