  • The South African football family is disappointed in Marumo Gallants' lack of wins in the DStv Premiership campaign so far
  • The Limpopo-based club is yet to taste glory out of nine league matches and some people feel the team will be demoted to the lower tier
  • Some football maniacs argue that sacking an astute coach in the form of Dylan Kerr was a bad move on their part

South African football fans feel Marumo Gallants are not a good quality side in the DStv Premiership as they are yet to taste glory in the top flight. The Limpopo-based side suffered a massive 4-0 defeat at the hands of reigning league champions Mamelodi Sundowns on Sunday.

Gallants have played in nine league games and have not registered a win this term so far. Gallants sit at the bottom of the log table with four points from as many draws.

The team, coached by Raymond Mdaka, are deemed as relegation candidates despite having a number of experienced campaigners, such as Thabo Mnyamane. Some people feel sacking a brilliant coach in the form of Dylan Kerr was a miscalculated move.

“Best ever”: Mamelodi Sundowns fans hype midfielder Themba Zwane for a brilliant goal

In a related article, Briefly News posted that following their 4-0 win over Marumo Glalants on Sunday afternoon, Mamelodi Sundowns fans are delighted over their star player, Themba Zwane.

‘Mshishi’ netted a stunner against the Limpopo-based club in the DStv Premiership. The opening goal saw the Brazilians playing their traditional passing game as they sliced through their opponents in the opposite half.

Zwane scored a brilliant goal as he passed the ball into the net after a beautiful lay-off from Peter Shalulile.

Sundowns remain unbeaten and are yet to concede a match in the league after nine and they sit at the top of the log standings with 25 points.
