with the fact that he has not won any silverware with Wits and now he is into his fourth season. Wits will play Cape Town City in the first leg of the MTN8 semis tomorrow night at Bidvest Stadium (8.15pm). And when quizzed over the lack of silverware, Hunt admitted that it is time to deliver even though he pointed out it hasn’t been all doom and gloom for his side. “You are right, I can’t argue that question. We haven’t won anything. But you got to look at where we started; the base when I first came here [in terms of] where we were and where we are now. So we need to start doing something and start achieving.” BAFANA Bafana midfielder May Mahlangu’s search for a new club is over after he signed for Romanian giants Dinamo Bucuresti.

Dinamo confirmed on their official website yesterday that the 27-year-old has joined on a three-year deal after passing a medical this week.

Mahlangu, pictured, had been without a club since the expiry of his contract with Belgian side SintTruide­n at the end of last season. He scored two goals in 18 appearance­s for Sint-Truiden before he was let go.

The move to Romania comes after Mahlangu reportedly turned down a move to German second division side Dynamo Dresden and Kaizer Chiefs in recent months.

Dinamo becomes Mahlangu’s sixth European club in nine years. Swedish side Helsingbor­gs IF was his first club back in 2008 and he has since played for two other clubs in the Scandinavi­an nation, IFK Hasslehom and IFK Goteborg.

He also featured for Turkish side Konyaspor before his move to Sint-Truiden.

After securing the move, the Secunda-born playmaker will be hoping to fight his way back into the Bafana team, especially with the 2018 World Cup qualifiers starting next month.
