Tau who has yet to play during the preseason following an operation in his knee, will not take any part in Thursday’s proceedings against rivals, Orlando Pirates.

“The biggest present my teammates can give me today is to beat Pirates and proceed to the final to meet Manchester City again on Saturday,” said the man known to kaizerchiefs.com as “Taranga”.

Teammate, Lawrence “Spanner” Molekwane wished Jimmy all the best for his birthday. “Jimmy has been a fantastic leader for the team since taking over the captain’s armband. He is a responsible person and of course a good player. I want to wish him everything of the best for his birthday.”

Chiefs Family at large would like to wish “Skipper” a very blissful day and all the best in all that he hopes to achieve in the near future.
