The Chilli Boys tactician has expressed cautious optimism ahead of his side’s daunting league fixture against the Brazilians. While the KuGompo City-based side have proven difficult to beat in recent weeks, the coach is fully aware that his side must sharpen their edge in front of goal to stand a chance against the continental giants.

The judging panel had their work cut out for them as every category was fiercely contested but in the end the winners' qualities shone through and the awards were decided with a mix of familiar and unexpected faces amongst the winners.

The 23-year-old has hit the ground running at Mayfair since his high-profile move from Stellenbosch FC, quickly becoming a fixture in the Buccaneers' starting XI. His representative, Nimrod Mbhalati, has now opened up on why the central midfielder has settled so efficiently with the Soweto giants.

The Rockets tactician has insisted that they are heading in the right direction despite a statistically modest opening to their Premier Soccer League campaign. The Mpumalanga-based side have managed just one victory in their first five outings, but their head coach remains adamant that the squad is evolving effectively under his guidance.
