The Nedbank Cup, Quarter Final match between AmaZulu FC and Orlando Pirates took place at the Moses Mabhida Stadium on April 13, 2024 in Durban, South Africa. During an exclusive interview, the Malawian-based coach discussed Tshegofatso Mabasa’s loan spells at Sekhukhune United and Moroka Swallows, highlighting their significance in helping the striker regain confidence and improve performance levels. He expressed that such loan moves often motivate players to give more upon their return, citing the example of another player who benefited from a similar experience.
The coach drew from his own past, recounting a similar loan experience during his time at Pirates, emphasizing that being sent on loan doesn’t indicate a player is of low quality. As the current season approaches its conclusion, the coach believes in Mabasa’s potential to emerge as the top goalscorer, despite facing tough competition. He praised Mabasa’s performance at both Swallows and Pirates, expressing confidence in his abilities.
With Orlando Pirates gearing up for their next match against Royal AM at the Harry Gwala Stadium, all eyes will be on Mabasa to see if he can maintain his scoring form and potentially secure the coveted top goalscorer award.
