every game‚” said Khumalo, speaking on the sidelines of Baroka’s kit launch with partner Two Mountains‚ a funeral and financial services company‚ in Sandton on Wednesday.

“But what is good is that we sit as the technical team and discuss things.”

Having survived relegation by a whisker in the previous season‚ Bakgaga have surprised everyone this season with four wins and three draws in their opening seven matches to sit pretty on top of the Absa Premiershi­p table.

Fans have praised the impact that Khumalo has had on the Limpopo outfit since he joined them‚ but the former Bafana Bafana midfielder attributed the success of Baroka so far to teamwork.

“We look at the possibilit­ies‚ whether it is a home or away‚ and I give my advice where and when it is necessary.

“But I also get an opportunit­y to train and prepare the team if and when the coach feels he wants me to do that. “So far so good. “Working as a unit has yielded results for us.”

Baroka will now aim to consolidat­e their lead with two home games that follow the Fifa internatio­nal break and MTN8 final.

Bakgaga host second-placed Lamontvill­e Golden Arrows in an unexpected top-of-thetable clash at Peter Mokaba Stadium next Wednesday‚ then struggling champions Bidvest Wits at the same venue on October 22. – ●
