 Meanwhile, Chippa United communications manager Luthando Zibeko has revealed are just about done and dusted in their transfer dealings.

‘We are fairly done [in the transfer window] unless something extra ordinary happens,’ Zibeko told KickOff.

‘Dan is happy with the team that he has assembled and as the management we are fairly comfortable. Now we want to grow not just on the playing aspect only but we want to grow as a brand as well,’ he concluded.
