The club, which is the only side representing Pietermaritzburg in the league, is 14th in a 16-team table.

Abafana Bebatha have 13 points from 15 games, and their only hope is to have a successful campaign in order to avoid relegation that is staring them in the eyes.

Club founder and head coach Vincent Myeni explained why they have found the going tough in the championship.

“We are all unhappy with how we started the campaign. I am not looking for excuses, and I accept the blame, but people must understand that this is our first season in the NFD, which is the most difficult and competitive league,” Myeni said, as per The Witness.

“We are learning a lot because we are new to this competition.

“I will always praise my players because they are trying hard and slowly getting it right. These are young players who will surprise a lot of people one day. I can confidently say this team will not be relegated.”

In their first match of the year, they shared points with Casric Stars after a goalless draw on Wednesday.
