De Sa: I don't do the selling

Cape Town - Ajax Cape Town coach Roger De Sa has revealed that the sale of Abbubaker Mobara and Riyaad Norodien to Orlando Pirates was out of his hands.

The Buccaneers shocked many with the announcement of the signing of the Ajax pair on Tuesday morning, along with the acquisition of AS Vita striker Bernard Morrison.

"I don't do the selling hey, I do the coaching. It's one of those things, you know. You don't want to stand and stop the players form bettering their careers and their lives," De Sa told KickOff.

"At the same time you open the path for other players to come through. As you know Ajax is a development club.

"The club has to make ends meet to survive. It's tough on the club as well but it is what it is."
