Pienaar to groom Mahlambi at Wits

Mahlambi left for Portugal to attend a three-week trial with an unidentified club.

Wits have signed Pienaar and Daylon Claasen, who joined the Clever Boys after playing in Europe for more than 20 years between the two of them.

“You watch Daylon‚ you watch Steven – you watch these guys train. It rubs off‚” Hunt said.

“And these players will run the dressing room. They will make sure that these players are working hard.

“And that’s what I do. I’ve done it everywhere I’ve been. It’s important for a team.

“The coach mustn’t coach a team. The players must run the team.

“That’s the biggest thing for Phakamani. Because if he listens to the people around him‚ with the amount of talent that he has, he can make a lot of money out of football.”
