Mafu�s chance to wash away his sins :: Mmegi Online

Mochudi Centre Chiefs coach, Bongani Mafu has, in the eyes of the clubs’ loyal fans, committed a cardinal sin. In his brief spell he has lost to Miscellaneous, saw stars against Jwaneng Galaxy and was bemused after a 2-1 loss to Sankoyo on Saturday, plunging Chiefs into an unfamiliar 11th position. Increasingly, Mafu’s sins appear unforgivable. But Staff Writer, MQONDISI DUBE is convinced that can change in a flash tomorrow night if Mafu conquers sworn enemy, Township Rollers

It might appear bizarre that bitter rivals, Township Rollers could actively solve Mochudi Centre Chiefs coaching dilemma when the two clash in a high octane Botswana derby at the National Stadium tomorrow night.

A defeat would leave Mafu’s fate firmly in the hands of his employers, but a win over their fiercest opponents would purchase more and healthier breathing space for the under fire Zimbabwean coach. The equation is straight forward on paper but a mammoth task on the pitch. Since 2009, never has Chiefs headed to a clash against Rollers as the overwhelming underdogs.
