After he went missing from his Bulls franchise for three weeks, Nkosi confirmed his mental condition was the reason for going missing. He was found at his father’s house in Emalahleni, Mpumalanga.
Nche was surprised when he learnt Nkosi, who left the Sharks this year to join the Bulls, was struggling with an issue that has attacked prominent sportspeople around the globe. “Sbu is a smart guy. He works hard and he knows what he has to do,” Nche said in a Sharks press conference on Tuesday.“Me and him, we have an understanding of colleagues and we get along off the field too. I think we are pretty good with each other.
“It came as a shock I didn’t expect it but that is the thing about mental health, you don’t see it coming.” Nche believes players need to be a support base for each other and make an effort to find out how other athletes are doing more often.
