Morfous lend a hand
Alexandra Black Aces owners George and Mario Morfou are said to have played a huge role in helping Maccabi FC win promotion to the National First Division (NFD) after winning the ABC Motsepe League national playoffs last weekend. According to a source, the brothers have been helping in the day-to-day running of the club and will continue to be involved with them in the NFD. “I’m not sure if they have some shares or not, but I know they have a very close relationship with the club. They are one of the reasons why the club are now in the NFD. They have helped in scouting players and getting them run in a professional way,” said the source. The brothers owned Mpumalanga Black Aces before selling their status to John Comitis, who formed Cape Town City. Mohomi could be on his way out
Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Lucky Mohomi (above) could follow the likes of Fares Hachi, Yannick Zakri and Siyanda Zwane as the latest player to be loaned to other clubs. This comes in the wake of Bafana Bafana international Andile Jali joining Masandawana to further boost a midfield that boasts of captain Hlompho Kekana, Tiyani Mabunda, Oupa Manyisa and Sibusiso Vilakazi. It is looking bleak for the former Free State Stars anchor-man, who failed to make a start for Downs the whole of last season. Khuzwayo joins Pirates
Brilliant Khuzwayo (above), has completed his move to Orlando Pirates, the Soweto giants confirmed yesterday. Khuzwayo had already indicated on the weekend that he was staying in Gauteng. “Gauteng see you soon ... I’m going to resume my personal pre-season training before the actual pre-season,” tweeted the former Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper. Khuzwayo’s agent Tim Sukazi had also said that Premiership champions Mamelodi Sundowns and Bidvest Wits expressed an interest in signing the Bafana Bafana shot-stopper. Bored Tinkler wants new club
Former SuperSport United, Orlando Pirates and Cape Town City coach Eric Tinkler (above) has admitted he is getting bored of staying at home and watching football on TV, as opposed to being on the touchline. Tinkler stepped down at SuperSport in March and is waiting for his chance to bounce back. “I have to admit it gets boring,” he told Phakaaathi. I really miss the game because it is something I love. I will just have to be patient until something comes up,” he added.
