The Amakhosi legend has reached a crossroads in his coaching career after his contract in the Botswana Premier League officially expired. Having impressed during his debut season abroad, the man affectionately known as 'Yeye' is now weighing up several possibilities for his next move.
The Soweto giants have concluded a partnership with a club from their neighbouring country. The move has attracted so many reactions from football fans, most of them mocking the agreement between the two teams. Questions have been raised about what the Soweto giants will benefit from the relationship.
The 20-year-old defender has now scored twice for his club as he continues to stamp his authority as a first-team player. Amakhosi loaned him out with the specific reason of helping him earn more playtime, something that he would not have had were he to stay put at Naturena.
In a bid to seek stronger ties outside the country, the Glamour Boys have entered into a partnership with the clubs. It is expected that Amakhosi players will be the greatest beneficiaries of these deals. Already, the Soweto giants have sent some of their young talents out in order to help them gain first-team experience.
The Amakhosi starlet becomes another talent from the country to cross the border and join his international counterpart. Coincidentally, the club is owned by an Amakhosi legend, and the move by the youngster represents a connection of some sort between the club and the Soweto giants.
Amakhosi have been under pressure to produce players who go on to take South African football by storm. A number of their players have come close to reaching that, while others are still on their way to becoming big. The likes of Mfundo Vilakazi and Mduduzi Shabalala are still on the rise, with a lot of promise in them. However, others like Nkosingiphile Ngcobo and Wandile Duba cannot be ruled out from improving to fulfil the promise they showed.
The Amakhosi defender did not complete the game on Friday, as he was withdrawn following the injury scare. The former Bucs tactician is now worried that his main defender might miss the next match. Since he arrived at his new club, the Glamour Boys' loanee has stamped his authority and become a regular starter, and Da Gama has also explained how he has been very helpful for them so far.
The Bucs winger is proving to be a vital addition to the Chiefs' setup, as he helped the club earn a point in a league duel. As he enjoys the good form, Bafana legend suffered yet another defeat.
The winger has been excellent in the top-tier after getting a grrenlight to extend his deal with the current team. The attacker is just among the many talents that have been coming out of the Bucs feeder club.
