Gavin Hunt set to unleash ex-Kaizer Chiefs duo in Stellenbosch's first home game of the season
Coach Gavin Hunt is likely to hand debuts to former Kaizer Chiefs duo Given Msimango and Kgaogelo Ramush after the pair joined Stellenbosch during the off-season.
Stellenbosch FC, the Betway Premiership nomads, are eager to host their first home match of the season in Cape Town. Since moving their home games to various Eastern Cape, Pretoria, and KwaZulu-Natal locations over the past two years, the squad has struggled to build a strong connection with their loyal Winelands supporters. Friday's opponent, Marumo Gallants, will also play their game at Athlone Stadium due to Stellenbosch's absence.
Forward Chumani Butsaka expressed excitement about playing at home, emphasizing the importance of their team's performance for their own fans. He believes that newcomers Given Msimango and Kgaogelo Ramush, former Kaizer Chiefs players, will be crucial for Stellenbosch's success. Coach Hunt is expected to give the ex-Chiefs duo their first starts, hoping they can replicate their strong performances away from home, such as their 3-3 draw with Polokwane City last week.
New striker Sinoxolo Kwayiba also aims to add to his tally, having scored his first goal for the team against Rise and Shine.
