After the disappointment of being runners-up last season and having their arch-rivals Kaizer Chiefs end their run of two successive triumphs in this competition, the Buccaneers are keen on reclaiming this trophy this season. They come up against their Limpopo opponents, who were the champions of this tournament in 2021.

The former Premier League outfit Fulham and Morocco defender has been giving players chances to prove their worth at the Sea Robbers. However, he has also made some daring calls like letting the South Africa international striker leave in the recent transfer window. The 47-year-old tactician has now justified his decision.

The Buccaneers coach is enjoying the luxury of leaving out certain players from his matchday squad, underlining the impressive depth within his first-team group. Winning convincingly without several key figures, who were deliberately omitted, highlighted just how strong his squad has become. It paints the picture of a coach spoilt for choice when it comes to team selection.
