“I feel honoured to be part of this achievement. This is the first time we participated in the SAB League and to advance to the playoffs is remarkable. The commitment of the lads and everyone involved in the Club is starting to produce fruits. The Chairman’s (Kaizer Motaung) dream is coming to fruition.
