After gaining promotion to the Safa second division, Joe's Express Football Club are now looking ahead for a new life in the higher division. According to the team’s managing director, Mr Joe Malala, their celebrations for promotion ended at the Jane Furse Stadium in Sekhukhune on Sunday as they started with their preparations for the start of the new season.

Joe’s Express were one of the top two teams in the SAB League promotional play-offs which were staged at the Jane Furse Stadium in Sekhukhune over the past weekend. When asked what he attributed the team’s success to, Malala said that it was the teamwork between the management and the players which made it possible for them to achieve their set goals.

He further indicated that they will effect some changes to the team and the technical staff. He reiterated, however, the fact that the players who had helped to promote the team will not be dumped for the sake of changing the complexion of the team, saying they would only reinforce the departments that needed it. He praised the players for making the whole of the Mutale municipal area proud, saying the promotion had not come cheaply.

When asked about the team’s new home ground,  Malala said that it was common knowledge that there was no suitable venue to host Safa second division league matches in the Mutale municipal area. He said that they would be forced to either use Makwarela Stadium or search for a suitable venue in Musina which they could use as their home ground.
