South African footballer Thembinkosi Lorch has just made a move From Orlando Pirates to Mamelodi Sundowns, and netizens are already blaming Natasha Thahane, his girlfriend, for it.
The actress had apparently hinted at the move with a TikTok video of her rocking the Sundowns jersey and sipping from a cup. She obviously had someone with her in the room but the person’s face was not shown.

Funny enough, soon after their video, what was initially thought to be just a rumour turned out to be true, as Mamelodi Sundowns, via its official X account, announced Lorch had joined the side.

The news of Lorch joining The Brazilians went viral in no time. While some tweeps congratulated him on the move and welcomed him to the yellow side, some were unimpressed and blamed Natasha Thahane for everything.
Anyway, Lorch has made his decision. How people react to it is not what he has control over.
