The Amakhosi legend has delivered a stinging critique of the club's tactical direction under new head coach Fernando Da Cruz. Despite the Soweto club securing the 2026 Toyota Cup with a victory over Zimbabwean side Scottland FC, the former Bafana Bafana goalkeeper remains unconvinced by the style of play on display.

The visitors’ boss has offered glowing praise for Amakhosi following their closely contested Toyota Cup encounter on Sunday afternoon. Despite his side falling to a narrow defeat, the Zimbabwean tactician was left impressed by the structural discipline displayed by the Soweto giants.

A new era officially got underway at the Royal Bafokeng Stadium as Amakhosi faithful turned out in numbers to watch the club's new head coach patrol the touchline for the first time. The packed venue witnessed an encouraging performance from the Soweto giants, as they lifted the pre-season trophy and built momentum ahead of what promises to be a demanding 2026/27 campaign.

Amakhosi's football manager has opened up on the club's long-standing and successful recruitment strategy within the Zimbabwean market. The Naturena-based giants have historically relied on talent from across the border to fuel their domestic dominance in South Africa.
