Sekhukhune United coach Lehlohonolo Seema has made it clear Babina Noko won't be giving their game against Orlando Pirates any special treatment although he's expecting Bucs to be motivated after winning the Soweto derby.
As Amakhosi prepare for the Soweto derby with Orlando Pirates on Saturday, Sowetan spoke to the team's marketing director Jessica Motaung who begged the club's supporters to be patient with Nabi and his technical team.
With youngsters like Relebohile Mofokeng, Mohau Nkota, Mduduzi Shabalala and Mfundo Vilakazi, among others, tipped to play a crucial role in the Soweto derby, Orlando Pirates assistant coach Mandla Ncikazi is adamant that theirs are experienced enough to overcome stage fright and play the actual game.
Richards Bay coach Ronnie Gabriel is encouraged by their performance against Orlando Pirates despite losing 3-1 in the Nedbank Cup last 32 at King Zwelithini Stadium on Sunday and believes it's only a matter of time before they turn things around.
