  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    This season, Stellenbosch reached the MTN8 final, the Nedbank Cup semi-final, and the last four of the Caf Confederation Cup.

    The Steve Barker-led team is on course to play in Africa's second-tier competition for the second time in a row, but to be sure, they have to beat Cape Town City on Saturday.

    Sekhukhune United are high on Stellies' heels, explaining why a win will be vital.

    WHAT STELLIES SAID

    One player who has been influential for Stellies' success is left-back Fawaaz Basadien.

    "Basadien walked away as the night’s biggest winner after taking home the coveted Stellenbosch FC Footballer of the Season and Players’ Player of the Season accolades," the club's media team confirmed.

    "This followed an incredible year for the Bafana Bafana international in which he contributed 15 goals to the team’s cause, scoring seven and assisting eight more from left-back."

    WHAT NEXT?

    In the absence of the injured Paseka Mako, Orlando Pirates used Deon Hotto at left-back, limiting him from playing in an advanced role.

    However, Mamelodi Sundowns have been heavily linked with the Bafana Bafana international.

    It is a wait-and-see game regarding the team that will eventually land Basadien.
