Ostriches Fire Ndlovu

With the BTC Premiership just on its eighth round, Madinda Ndlovu became the first coaching casualty when Orapa United parted ways with him this past week. Ndlovu joined The Ostriches two seasons ago from Township Rollers.

During his first season, he led them to their first ever major trophy in the Premier League when he defeated Rollers in the Mascom Top 8 final in Francistown. They also finished third in the league that season. Ndlovu missed out on his second Mascom Top 8 trophy last season, going down to Jwaneng Galaxy in the final and went on to finish third again in the league.

However, things turned upside down this season early on with the team struggling to keep up the pace with other title contenders. The Ostriches had made it clear they want to win the league this season having won the Mascom Top 8 before. They kicked off the season with a victory against Uniao Flamengo Santos before they beat Gaborone United (GU) and Gilport Lions, sending a strong signal of their intentions to challenge for the league honours. But they hit a rough patch after their loss to Sankoyo Bush Bucks and have not tasted a victory in five games now, moving from position one on the log to position six after a series of disappointing results.
