Ncikazi Highlights Durban City Dangers

, ,

Orlando Pirates assistant coach Mandla Ncikazi has highlighted on what makes Durban City a dangerous team ahead of their clash this afternoon.

Kwinika Makes Zamalek & Al-Masry Comparison

, , ,

Kaizer Chiefs defender Zitha Kwinika says they’re expecting more or less the same kind of football from Zamalek as Al-Masry in the CAF Confederation Cup.
