He knows the culture of the team and we are positive he will achieve our mandate,” he said.

The team’s mandate was this season, he said it was to finish inside the top four. He also highlighted that they had to break the managerial positions into two. “We had to create logistics manager and team manager positions. “The logistics manager is Themba Tsabedze, while team manager is Bhekithemba Shongwe.We do trust that they will all work in hand with other members of the MC,” he said.
