Substitutes

Itumeleng Khune

‘Itu’ will always be himself and people don’t realise how much work he puts in at training. The way he plays is the way he trains. If a player asks him to stay behind for extra training, he will never complain, he is always keen to put in the hard work.

Andile Sixaba

‘Bangladesh’ took me under his wing when I joined Ajax Cape Town at the age of 17 – he helped me a lot and told me everything I needed to work on. His guidance played a big role in my career. As a footballer he was also talented and could play multiple positions.

Benedict Vilakazi

I played with Tso at Under-20 national team and he was another very intelligent player. He was comfortable on the ball and could score, and was a very brave player as well. Wherever he played he added value.

Joseph Makhanya

‘Duku’ was my national Under-20 teammate. He was a dynamite and could play, he could dribble, shoot and cross the ball very well.

Lesley Manyathela

The late Lesley was something different and we always knew that if he gets the ball in the right area, he would score goals. He could get into great positions and when you think a game was finished, he would pop up and score.

Coach: Cavin Johnson

I was 11 years old when I met Cavin at the

School of Excellence and I have a lot to be grateful for in terms of what he did for my career. He is still a friend and contributed a lot in my career – he knows me in and out and that is why he is the best coach I ever worked with.
