The retired defender has opened up about his lifelong desire to join the Sea Robbers. Despite making his mark at two of South Africa’s biggest clubs, the right-back admits his heart was set on the Buccaneers from a young age, revealing that representing the defending Premier Soccer League champions was a dream he always hoped would come true after being approached by the Mayfair team.
Amakhosi coach has identified a new rising star within the Naturena ranks, tipping academy graduate with a massive future. The young defender, affectionately known as 'Matlaba' by those close to the club, is the latest prospect to transition from the DStv Diski Challenge to the senior stage.
The Brazilians legend Teko Modise has issued a clear challenge to the 29-year-old, insisting the defender must find greater consistency to cement his place in the starting line-up.

The Brazilians' head coach has sent a clear message to the club's supporters regarding the integration of academy prospects into the first team.

Former defender Derrick Spencer, who played for both sides, believes the Soweto giants are ready to reclaim their throne at the summit of South African football. The retired star has backed Amakhosi to overcome the Brazilians this weekend and go on to challenge for the league title, provided they address one key area of their squad.
