Tshifulanani Crystal Palace will be campaigning in the Vhembe SAB Regional League when the activities for the new season kick off in three weeks' time.

According to the chairman of the club, Mr Steven Mudau, they had recently bought the SAB League status from Miluwani Happy Boys FC. He revealed that the deal to move the team from Miluwani to Tshifulanani was signed and sealed last week.

Mudau said that the two parties had agreed not to divulge anything relating to the price paid for the franchise.

Tshifulanani Crystal Palace were affiliated to the Thulamela LFA last season. They missed promotion to the SA League by a whisker last season as they completed their league programme in the second position.

When asked whether they would be able to absorb the SAB League heat with their current squad, Mudau said that they had nothing to fear. He revealed that some of the players on whom they pinned their hopes included Mulalo Thiba, Fhatuwani Mukwevho, Mulalo Mathivha and Lindelani Netshifhefhe.

Efforts made by Limpopo Mirror to get confirmation from the side of Miluwani Happy Boys bore no fruit. The administrative officer of the league, Mr Mulalo Mafenya, confirmed the transaction.
