Jil Bin Dawud Overview

Former Mamelodi Sundowns and Al Ahly coach has leaped to the defence of Mbokazi following the defender’s move to Major League Soccer. The Bafana international raised eyebrows when he opted to swap Pirates for the Fire midway through the previous season, but Mosimane insists the switch is a masterstroke for his development.

The South African transfer market has been blown wide open following the news that Sundowns have officially secured the services of an Arrows star. In a dramatic turn of events, the young attacker has snubbed a move to Pirates in favour of joining the perennial Premier Soccer League heavyweights.

The Soweto Derby rivalry has taken a fresh turn in the boardroom as the Sea Robbers fight to keep the left-footed star away from Chiefs’ clutches. Despite long-standing interest from the Naturena-based giants, the Buccaneers have moved swiftly to secure the experienced playmaker’s future at Mayfair.

The South African football legend has singled out the former Buccaneer as a future icon of the national game following his breakout performances on the world stage. The former Leeds United captain believes the young defender possesses the rare mental and physical attributes required to reach the very top of the sport.
