• While Ajax Cape Town’s attacking midfielder, Gahouidi Djedje, 24, who was signed as a replacement for the injured Raymond Monama, has finally started a match, it will take some time before his 29-year-old teammate is back in action. “Raymond could be out for a few months. He had an operation but is recovering very well,” a source told Soccer Laduma. • Cape Umoya United, who used to train at Parow Park, have moved to the Old Mutual Sports Club, which further enhances the possibility of an official association. “I can’t confirm how we link with Old Mutual yet. The club will issue a statement when everything’s been sealed,” said Cape Umoya media officer, Loyiso Nabe. • After his team thrashed Maccabi FC 6-2, Mbombela United head coach, Milton Dlamini, told Soccer Laduma, “That’s the highest score in the NFD this season.
