With four fixtures remaining in the month of January, Usuthu midfielder Siyethemba Sithebe believes this is the ideal opportunity for them to climb out of the bottom half of the log.

AmaZulu coach Jozef Vukusic says his team’s ability to bounce back will be key in their fight for survival this season.

Also in attendance at this function is the senior team led by head coach Ernst Middendorp, they play against Highlands Park in the Absa Premiership game tomorrow evening at FNB stadium.

Chiefs has planned a series of events throughout this year to celebrate this 50th anniversary milestone and some of these would also include some international exhibition matches including the legends and the current senior team.

The function which is still underway is being attended by former Chiefs players including founding members like John “Banks” Sethlodi, Vusi “Computer” Lamola including legends from different eras from the 70’s until now.

Chiefs, arguably Southern Africa’s biggest club in terms of fan base is also the most successful football club dating back to the 1970’s when it comes to trophies.

Kaizer Chiefs chairman Kaizer Motaung says during the days of the struggle, they were more than just a footballing club but also a vehicle to drive resistance against apartheid government.

Da Gama also added that he is looking at filling in the left back spot as that department has been blighted by injuries.

In Peter Shalulile, Da Gama believes he has a potent force upfront and described the Namibian International as the best striker in the country and his PSL goal scoring numbers do not lie as he is leading the domestic scoring chats with 9 so far.

The Lions having an interesting statistic of being the second-best team in the league after Kaizer Chiefs when only half-time results are considered but Da Gama’s charges still seem to crumble in the second half hence their current fifth overall position.
