Mamelodi Sundowns coach Rulani Mokwena has spoken about Cassius Mailula's recent run of matches without scoring, making it clear that there is no reason to press any panic buttons.
The 21-year-old Sundowns product has not found the back of the net since March 14, when the Brazilians hammered Royal AM 5-1 in a DSTV Premiership match played at Loftus Stadium.

This, however, is not too much of a concern for Mokwena, who gave Mailula his first team debut earlier this season.
"I was talking to him and showing him the clips of his previous performance and he said 'I need to walk barefooted'. That's what he said. For the young ones, you have to accept. Unfortunately, you are paying school fees. They can only learn by making mistakes and they will get better," Mokwena said to the media
"If you look at Mkhulise, he said to go to Black Leopards on loan to get game time and learn. Percy (Tau) had to go out on loan also and go get his minutes and learn. They (Mailula and other youngsters) are fortunate that they are actually learning from the best (without having to go out on loan).
