A source at the club told Phakaaathi that the management are thinking of cutting the squad size and are currently looking at every player’s commitment to the course. 

“The thing is there have been issues of misconduct and general lack of commitment in the team. The technical team have been asked to make reports on some of the players to state if they are needed or committed enough. 

“They feel with the quality that the team has, it should not be struggling against lower opponents like Marumo Gallants and should be challenging (Mamelodi) Sundowns and others for trophies,” said the source.
