Ahead of the 2024-2025 season, the club is about to unleash another youngster in the name of Malibongwe Khoza, who is currently training with the first-team this pre-season.

According to Soccer Laduma, the 20-year-old will be included in the club’s European pre-season tour in Austria and will also be registered with the first team next season.

“He is a very good defender. He is just 20-year-old but he has the capability of playing at a higher level, and that’s why the club is set to promote him,” said the Soccer Laduma source.

“Right now they are finalising the team that will travel to Austria for the pre-season camp and training and they are looking at the youngsters from the DDC side to be part of the team next season whether they go to Europe or not.

“But the technical team is working hard in hand with the DDC technical team, and they have apparently recommended that Mali(Khoza) be promoted to the senior team,” the source concluded.
