South African-born football coach Morena Ramoreboli continues to do well in Botswana and recently guided the club to the semi-finals of the Orange Cup. The Free State-born manager is also receiving huge praise in the Botswana Premier League.
Jwaneng Galaxy spokesperson Tankiso Morake was speaking to a local football website and says the former Maluti FET coach is doing a good job for the club.
At the same time, Ramoreboli is credited for guiding the Botswana Premier League side to the group stages of the CAF Champions League for the first time in their history.
Jwaneng Galaxy reach the Orange Cup semi-finals
According to Morake, the young Mzansi manager is also working with a local player in the name of Tebogo Mokoena. Morake says they are waiting to face Gaborone United in the cup competition.
Under the Mzansi mentor’s guidance, Jwaneng walloped Notwane FC 4-1 in the knockout competition at the Lobatse Sports Complex last weekend. He said per KickOff:
"The coach is doing a great job since arrived in Botswana. We are now in the semi-finals of the Orange FA Cup after beating Notwane. South African midfielder Tebogo Mokoena also scored a brace in the match. We are now waiting for our next opponents."
According to the report, Ramoreboli is on the verge of winning the trophy and the club will bag a cool P700 000.
Mmegi Online reported that Galaxy rallied to bag the win over Notwane and the match was an end to end affair. Social media users have also shared their thoughts on the club's progress so far.

“We want a rematch”: Mzansi not happy with SA vs Ghana decision
In another football piece, Briefly News posted that Bafana Bafana has officially been knocked out of any chance of competing in the FIFA World Cup after losing 1-0 to the Ghanaians last night. Naturally, Mzansi is still trying to make sense of the whole match.
Heading to the Twitter streets, many peeps are suggesting the ref was biased especially concerning a costly penalty decision. Passionate soccer fans were up in arms in the comments section demanding a rematch.

"May SAFA please appeal for a rematch. The South African people and probably some of the other countries are not happy about the decision that was taken by the referee. A very costly decision.”
