The talented goalkeeper looks set to head for the exit door as his representative seeks a temporary solution to his lack of playing time. The shot-stopper has found himself down the pecking order at Chloorkop, and a fresh start now appears to be the only viable path for the former junior international.
Bahlabane Ba Ntwa tactician has opened up about the immense personal and professional hardships that nearly forced him out of the game entirely. The 52-year-old, now a respected figure in the Premier Soccer League, believes his past 'sufferings' were essential in forging the mental toughness required for top-level management.
The 75-year-old is facing a difficult period as he battles significant health challenges. A prominent government official has now stepped forward to urge the South African public and the corporate sector to provide necessary support for the legendary tactician.
Ntsako 'Neverdie' Makhubela is a name familiar to followers of South African football, having once been tipped for stardom during his time with Orlando Pirates and Golden Arrows. Now 32, the midfielder is preparing for a return to the Betway Premiership after a testing period in the wilderness of the second tier.
The talented midfielder’s time at Naturena appears to be reaching a disappointing conclusion as persistent injury problems continue to plague the 27-year-old's career. With his current deal set to expire at the end of June, the former Moroka Swallows man finds himself fighting an uphill battle to prove his worth to the Amakhosi hierarchy.
Bahlabane Ba Ntwa have, for the first time, responded after initial reports indicated that their top-flight slot was in danger after Dube Birds moved to court in an attempt to cancel the sale. The Soweto-based outfit wants the agreement to be terminated legally by the courts. If the sale deal is cancelled, Swallows will get their PSL status back, and Gallants will lose all the rights.
Over the years, the buying and selling of club statuses has often been viewed as disruptive to the South African league, whether through a decline in competitiveness or bitter disputes that follow. Lately, the Dube Birds and Bahlabane Ba Ntwa have taken centre stage in the latest chapter of that ongoing debate.
