According to the YouTube documentary, Bucs Camp, Masanwaganyi, who has attracted interest from overseas, said he loves the ‘Weh Tito’ chant and it pushes him to improve.
Maswanganyi said:
“I think when they start chanting it, most of the time indicates that they want me to start playing. They want to see the real Tito. They either start to sing after I do something and want more, it’s the same after I score, and I just feel like when they start singing that chant they mean ‘Go harder’, ‘Show us more energy’.”
