Lorient B Overview

Mfundo Vilakazi has provided a fascinating insight into the leadership qualities of teammate Wandile Duba, crediting the forward's elite mentality for driving the club’s younger players forward. The 22-year-old striker is currently the man of the moment at Naturena following a sensational hat-trick that secured passage to the Carling Knockout Cup quarter-finals.

Club legend Reneilwe Letsholonyane has jumped to the defence of Amakhosi's head coach, insisting that the responsibility for the club’s recent slump lies with the players on the pitch. Despite a promising start to the new campaign, the Soweto giants have struggled for consistency following a disappointing exit from the CAF Confederation Cup.

The Citizens head coach believes the Pretoria club are beginning to suffer from the physical toll of their relentless schedule following their shock continental exit. The tactician is now preparing his side to exploit any lingering weakness when they face Miguel Cardoso's men on Saturday evening.

The former Bidvest Wits goalkeeper has issued a defiant message to his detractors as the Soweto derby looms on the horizon. The shot-stopper has endured a difficult period marked by individual mistakes and fitness issues, but he remains steadfast in his commitment to the Amakhosi cause.
