Pogradeci Overview

Bahlabane Ba Ntwa tactician has opened up about the immense personal and professional hardships that nearly forced him out of the game entirely. The 52-year-old, now a respected figure in the Premier Soccer League, believes his past 'sufferings' were essential in forging the mental toughness required for top-level management.

The 75-year-old is facing a difficult period as he battles significant health challenges. A prominent government official has now stepped forward to urge the South African public and the corporate sector to provide necessary support for the legendary tactician.

Ntsako 'Neverdie' Makhubela is a name familiar to followers of South African football, having once been tipped for stardom during his time with Orlando Pirates and Golden Arrows. Now 32, the midfielder is preparing for a return to the Betway Premiership after a testing period in the wilderness of the second tier.

The talented midfielder’s time at Naturena appears to be reaching a disappointing conclusion as persistent injury problems continue to plague the 27-year-old's career. With his current deal set to expire at the end of June, the former Moroka Swallows man finds himself fighting an uphill battle to prove his worth to the Amakhosi hierarchy.
