Mabizela reveals rough treatment

Tottenham's South African international Mbulelo Mabizela has revealed some of his club colleagues are making him feel unhappy at White Hart Lane.

The summer arrival from Orlando Pirates is yet to make his league debut for Spurs and is finding it difficult to adjust to his new surroundings.

Mabizela understands some of his fellow countrymen struggled to adapt to English life, but is so unhappy with the treatment he has received it has affected his football.

"There are certain players who want to make me uncomfortable," explained the South African.

"I will not name names, but I want to raise this with management.

"I'm aware that other South African players like Quinton Fortune and Lucas Radebe initially struggled in England as well.

"However, this has affected me so badly that I am never happy at training. It affects my performance."
