In this week’s edition, we bring you interviews with two young defenders who are hot property and possibly the future of Bafana Bafana – Olwethu Makhanya and Rushwin Dortley! Lethabo Kganyago spoke to Philadelphia Union-bound Makhanya, the breakout star from Stellenbosch FC, who chose the MLS over Mamelodi Sundowns (pages 8-10), while Rob Delport caught up with Dortley, the much-wanted Cape Town Spurs’ left-footed defender (pages 11-13). Rob also caught up with one of South Africa’s best performers abroad currently, Tashreeq Matthews (pages 14-15), who is in prolific form for Sirius in Sweden . Meanwhile, Lethabo spoke to Bafana Bafana bio kineticist Simone Conley (pages 16-19), who is set to join the Al-Ittihad Ladies team in Saudi Arabia after the FIFA Women’s World Cup. Austin Dube tells us why his time at Kaizer Chiefs wasn’t a failure (page 7) and we also have the latest transfer rumours on Eric Mathoho (page 4), while a Chippa United source told us their twitter search for a left-back was a “massive success” (page 6).
PS. Remember we’re currently off the shelves to sort out our distribution but you can read the latest iDiski Times newspaper for free on our website every Tuesday.
