A task team led by technical director, Mooketsi ‘China’ Mading is in the process of finding a replacement for David Bright who passed on two months ago because of COVID-19 related complications.

He said at the moment, Computer Phakedi who had been the club’s assistant coach has been holding fort as the interim coach after Bright’s passing.
