New blood gives punch to leagues

The only provincial team campaigning in the PSL, Mpumalanga Black Aces, has made full use of this window
period, signing the services of former Orlando Pirates players, Thulasizwe
Mbuyane and Innocent Mdledle and former Bidvest Wits duo Miguel Timm and Jackson
Mabokgwane, to boost the current crop of quality players, such as Mabhuti
Khanyeza, Abia Nale and Eduardo Ferreira.
Aces offloaded only two players
from their list, Sechaba Mmuso and Paolo Moreiro.
Amazayoni, as they are
affectionately known, are currently in position 11 of the log and have since
made their intentions known that they want to remain in the elite league and
become one of the super powers in the country’s football cycles.
Another home
team campaigning in the NFD league, Sivutsa Stars, have also made some changes
to their current squad.
Stars who are currently occupying the 11th position
in the NFD log table have brought in new players, Lemako Mpho Samson, Mbebe Mpho
Etam and goalkeeper, Skhumbuzo Nkumane.
Among the players they released are
Rendani Ndou, Themba Mavundla and assistant coach, Mac Donald Makhubedu.
The
team’s PRO, Charles Nkosi, said the reason why they didn’t go in search of more
new players was because they believed that their current squad were hungry
enough to take the team to the next level.
“We really don’t believe in stars
or individual players but more in team effort and we believe that bringing in a
known star player would not add any value to us. We have a very good, strong and
competitive team capable of greatness,” said Nkosi.
