Mashego And Zuke Monitored Ahead Of Downs Match


Chippa United have provided their injury update, ahead of the team’s upcoming Telkom Knockout match.

The Chilli Boys will host Mamelodi Sundowns in the Telkom Knockout Last 16 match at Mdantsane’s Sisa Dukashe Stadium on Sunday. The Port Elizabeth outfit has confirmed that Katlego Mashego and Sandile Zuke are being monitored, after picking knocks in the league match against Cape Town City last weekend.

However, the good news for caretaker coach Teboho Moloi and the team is that Paseka Mako has recovered from the injury that kept him out of the last two matches.

“Paseka 'Computer' Mako is expected to join his teammates for full training on Tuesday after injuring his foot ligaments during a friendly match against Nelson Mandela University about a fortnight ago.

“The former Cape Town All Stars winger missed both home Absa Premiership encounters against Maritzburg United and Cape Town City.

“Mako’s return will be a huge confidence booster for the Chilli Boys ahead of what promises to be a thrilling Telkom KO encounter against the 2015 winners, Mamelodi Sundowns on Sunday, 29 October.

“The medical team will keep a close eye on Katlego 'Mahoota' Mashego and Sandile 'Mtawali' Zuke after they both suffered injuries during the emphatic win against Cape Town City on Sunday,” Chippa confirmed on the club’s official website.

Chippa’s Head of Communications and Marketing, Luthando ‘Trompies’ Zibeko confirmed that tickets for the match are selling fast.

What a gentleman – Maponyane

We have asked five former Kaizer Chiefs players from five different decennia, starting with the foundation of the club on 7 January 1970 to now, to talk about their relationship with Chairman Kaizer Motaung for his 73rd birthday on Monday, 16 October 2017. Marks Maponyane (1980s) “What a gentleman,” Marks Maponyane says about Chairman Kaizer Motaung. “He’s also somebody who is prepared to listen and give honest advice when needed. Kaizer really loves his team and the beautiful game of soccer.” Motaung was nearing the end of his soccer career in the seventies, when Maponyane was still a teenager. “I would often go with a few friends to watch Kaizer Chiefs play,” the former striker remembers. “We would walk from Meadowlands to Orlando after having saved money during the week to be able to buy a ticket.” Maponyane played for the Glamour Boys from 1981 until 1991. “I was completely in awe when meeting Kaizer for the first time,” he admits. He points out that “as much as Kaizer played th...

City To Extend Ndou’s Stay?

Sources have alerted the Siya crew that despite earlier reports that Polokwane City intended to part ways with veteran striker Rendani Ndou, the Limpopo-based club may now look to retain the services of the 30-year-old forward.  Ndou has been with Rise and Shine for the past three years and reports surfaced that he could be making an exit when his contract comes to an end. However, Siya sources have revealed that City may look to keep the experienced striker at the club.    Earlier reports suggested that Ndou along with teammates Tshepo Tema and Randy Ngobe were left out in the cold by the club as they were no longer in the future plans of coach Bernard Molekwa.
