Sekhukhune United coach MacDonald Makhubedu reveals new head coach Peter Hyballa will not form part of the team for this afternoon’s MTN8 quarter-final clash against Cape Town City because of work permit issues.
Babina Noko announced the team starting XI with new coach Hyballa not included in the technical team set-up, with Makhubedu set to be assisted by Paulos Masehe and Nascent Nkwashu as goalkeeper coach.

The new Sekhukhune head coach is said to have been embroiled in controversy at the club in recent days, and has thus been linked with an exit just five weeks into his tenure.
When quizzed during his pre-match interview if Hyballa was around the venue, Makhubedu replied that yes indeed the coach was around, but in the stands because of paperwork issues.
“Ja, I think he’s on top [stands],” Makhubedu told SuperSport TV.
“Just a matter of work permits. I think, yeah it’s permit issues but he’s still here.”
This afternoon’s winner will join Orlando Pirates and Stellenbosch FC who have already sealed their last four berths.
