Siyabonga Ngezana has done brilliantly since making his debut against Mamelodi Sundowns. The youngster, however, is not only playing soccer, he’s focused on his school work as well. The defender therefore has to miss tonight’s Absa Premiership fixture against Polokwane City as he’s busy writing exams.

Lorenzo Gordinho, who has recovered from his rib injury, replaces Nengezana in the centre of defence.

Otherwise, coach Steve Komphela has decided to go with the same starting line-up that convincingly beat AmaZulu in the weekend.
