Mduduzi Mdantsane

The diminutive midfield workhorse has been a standout performer for Cape Town City this season, chipping in with an impressive tally of goals despite coming from deeper down the pitch. Taking away his contribution would undoubtedly see The Citizens drop towards the bottom end of the log table, as he not only scores but also has an eye for picking out his teammates in bett ter positions. MdantsaneM spent thre e years at Baro oka prior to his movem to the MotherM City at the start of 2020 but already he is close to surpassing his total number of goals scored in Limpopo, in just his first full season under Jan Olde Riekerink. Aside from his combinations with the likes of Thabo Nodada and Surprise Ralani, ‘Mdu’ has also established himself as the club’s first-choice penalty taker following the departure of Kermit Erasmus and has regularly slots home from 12 yards out. Such has been his influence this season that his former coach Benni McCarthy even expressed disappointment after he was omitted from the Bafana Bafana squad that played against Ghana and Sudan in March, while TS Galaxy mentor Owen Da Gama named him as one of his dream signings.
