After receiving the Absa Premiership League’s top goal scorer award in the 2018/2019 soccer season, Black Leopards’ striker, Mwape Musonda, seemed to have forgotten his scoring boots in his hometown, Lusaka, in Zambia. Fortunately, he found form again during the promotional playoff matches.

As part of their attempts to strengthen the team, Black Leopards have signed the former Polokwane City player, Wiseman Maluleke. The club’s chairman, Mr David Thidiela, revealed this during an interview shortly after his team’s 2-1 victory over Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila (TTM) in their promotional playoff match on Monday.

Black Leopards’ caretaker coach, Mr Morgan Shivambu, might have saved the team from relegation, but his efforts do not seem to be good enough to qualify him for the post of head coach. According to the chairman of the club, Mr David Thidiela, the process to appoint the team’s new head coach is at an advanced stage.

After disappearing from the team’s camp early this month, Black Leopards defender Edwin Gyimah resurfaced this week.

The caretaker coach of Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila FC (TTM), Mr Lucky “King Mchichwa” Nelukau, said he was proud of his players, despite the team’s poor performance in the promotional playoffs. TTM lost all four matches they played in the playoffs.

As part of their preparations for a new life in the GladAfrica Championship Division next season, Polokwane City FC decided against keeping four of their experienced key players.

One of the teams that will be campaigning in the Premiership Division next season is likely to be known at the end of the relegation/promotion game between Black Leopards and Ajax Cape at the Rand Stadium in Johannesburg this afternoon (Friday).

The annual IsAbility golf day was decided at the Soutpansberg Golf Club on Saturday, 12 September, and despite the Covid-19 restrictions, was once again a great success.

Black Leopards might have failed to avoid taking part in the promotional/relegation playoffs, but the team’s caretaker coaches, Messrs Morgan Shivambu and Mongezi Bobe, deserve a pat on the shoulder. Shivambu and Bobe took over as caretaker coaches from Mr Allan Clark, who resigned from the team’s head coaching position two weeks before the resumption of the league programme.

The president of Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila FC (TTM), Mr Masala Mulaudzi, might have sold the club’s GladAfrica Championship franchise to the owner of African All Stars FC, Mr Simon Malatjie, for R10 million, but chances are that the original selling price could increase dramatically should the club make the grade in the promotional playoffs and gain promotion to the Premiership division.
