“Fadlu Davids deserved it; it shows as the chairman [Patrice Motsepe] said it that the local breed is coming up very well … you can see young coaches are coming up very well. Chairman you have one of the special ones that has worked with me, when he said to me the Holy Ghost wants him I understood and I gave him my blessings,” explains Mosimane.
Maritzburg United’s brilliant 2017/18 season, during which they finished fourth on the Absa Premiership log, has not gone unnoticed.
Their young midfielder Siphesihle Ndlovu was named both midfielder and young player of the season.
