Amiens bench Zungu
Bongani Zungu was back on the bench for French side Amiens this weekend, but he didn’t make an appearance as they lost 2-0 at home to Rennes in Ligue 1. The Bafana Bafana midfielder was a regular in midfield for Amiens before an injury set him back – his last appearance for his side was over a month ago. The 25-yearold’s next chance to shine will be on March 10 when Amiens travel to Dijon. Amiens are currently hovering dangerously close to the relegation zone – they are just one point ahead of third-from-bottom Troyes.
Banyana striker Jermaine Seoposenwe (above) is said to be on the wanted list of numerous teams in the US and Europe after her stint with Alabama University ended recently. According to a source, the Banyana forward is still undecided about who to play for and is weighing up her options. “Jermaine has made a name for herself in the US, she has been fantastic for the past few years. Another thing that is making her hot property is that SA female footballers are now being recognised all over the world, so we are waiting for her to finish playing at the Cyprus Tournament with Banyana and we will hear her decision then,” said the source.
A source close to Bidvest Wits player Paseka Sekese (above), who is on loan at Richards Bay FC in the National First Division, has said the player is keen to move back to Wits and feels he has gained much experience which can add a lot of value at his mother club. “He is more mature now and it shows. But he misses his old club and seeing the team struggle this season is really upsetting him. He feels like he needs to be there to help out. He is really keen on going back to Wits,” said the source. Sekese was one of the Clever Boys graduates back in 2015 before he was loaned to Cape Town All Stars in 2016 and then Richards Bay the following year.
Maritzburg United player Luyanda Ntshangase (above) is still in the intensive care unit after he and his team-mates were struck by lightning during a training session last week. “It was a huge situation that we faced and we had to cancel all our training sessions,” said coach Fadlu Davids. “I don’t know how they managed to keep their emotions intact considering what they had faced because one of our own is lying in the hospital,” he added on the back of his side’s 0-0 draw with SuperSport United.
