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 experienced former Mamelodi Sundowns tactician has been serving Abafana Bes'thende since his unceremonious exit from the defending Premier Soccer League champions. He has, however, been linked to some top teams, including the Glamour Boys, who are currently under caretaker coaches until the end of the season.
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The Amakhosi defender did not complete the game on Friday, as he was withdrawn following the injury scare.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 highly rated defender has been handed his first professional deal, as he left the club to gain necessary experience under a South African coach outside the country.
