The Young Zebras coach, Itumeleng 'Tumie' Duiker is optimistic that his side will put up a good showing at the Under-17 COSAFA Championship to be played in Mauritius from July 19 to 29. Duiker however said his side has been dealt a blow as they had limited time to train, due to the players' academic engagements.

“Most of the players are school kids. They have been engaged with their studies as the examinations have been running in the past weeks,” Duiker said.

“Some play in the BISA games and we had one boy who sneaked out of the camp to play for his school team. This is the situation we have to deal with here.”
