Dynamos search for new guns

 

Sport  Date: 13 August 2004

 

GIYANI – The 1-4 defeat that Dynamos had suffered at the hands of Kaizer Chiefs last weekend has prompted the team’s managing director, Mr Pat Malabela, to go all out searching for quality strikers. According to him his side will be armed to the teeth in few days time.

Malabela stated that he was on the verge of signing a top Zambian striker to reinforce his goal-poaching department. He stated that, although his side had suffered a heavy blow last weekend, it was premature for people to think that Dynamos will be threatened by relegation this season.

He reiterated the fact that his team played well against Chiefs, despite the loss and that the players he had already signed were worth it. He mentioned players like Klaas Galane and Sandile Ndlovu as some of those whom his technical staff were impressed with.

Most of the new players in the Dynamos camp made their debut appearance in their new colours against Kaizer Chiefs last Saturday. Some of the new faces in the new-look Dynamos include Klaas Galane, Vusi Mahlangu, Sandile Ndlovu, Mpho Maleka, Boebie Kaapama, Innocent Mahlambi, Vusi Dlamini, Ntokozo Skhakhane and goalkeepers Abram “Rambo” Kwenenyane and Arthur Bartman.

Malabela acknowledged that he still owed three of the players, Gerald Raphahlela, Alex Bapela and Joel Seroba, who were part of the team that narrowly escaped relegation last season, some money. He indicated that although he owed them some salary payments, he was not happy with the manner in which they had handled the whole matter.

According to him, it was premature for them to report the matter to the players’ union. He mentioned that he fully understood the fact that they had the right to legal representation; it was a matter that could have been resolved internally, rather than “to blow it out of proportion”.
