Mages FC star Edmore Chirambadare has opened up about the left wing rivalry with former Kaizer Chiefs man Kgaogelo Sekgota and four others.
Chirambadare, a former Chicken Inn star in Zimbabwe, is one of the senior players at the South Africa Soccer Betway Premiership novices, having played a key role in their promotion sojourn.
As such, he is expected to be a vital cog in the 2024/ 25 Betway Premiership (top league). However, the arrival of Sekgota scaled up competition in the left wing position.
Sekgota joined the Clinton Larsen-coached side in July. He had been released by Stellenbosch FC halfway through last season. His arrival inadvertently elevated competition in the left wing position, where four other players are hoping to excel.
The club has Maloisane Mokhele, Jacob Everson, Clement Moshwana and Anathi Ngwadla, all eligible to play in that position. And Chirambadare has admitted it will not be easy for any of them to have a fixed first-time place. In an interview with FARPost, the Zimbabwean winger said: “I think that it is (left-wing) the most contested position in our team. I am happy he (Sekgota) is here with us. There is something special he gives us.
“KG brought a different dimension. Naturally, he is an exciting player; his presence makes it interesting; you can’t ask for a better positional rival than him.
“Whoever gets the opportunity will be deserving. Our duty is to support each other as we patiently wait for the chance. Of course, I rate him highly; he is still young, and I believe he will give the team good results.
“Right now, he has pushed us up and the level of competition is now high. Considering that we have a young and energetic team, I believe he adds more value, especially by pushing us hard.”
How Chirambadare and Sekgota will fare as Magesi FC make their debut in the 2024/ 25 Betway Premiership.
Chirambadare and former Chicken Inn goalkeeper Elvis Chipezeze survived the chop at Magesi FC in South Africa. Magesi is one of the newly promoted teams into Betway Premiership, formerly DStv Premiership. Chipezeze was the captain for Magesi in the Motsepe Foundation Championship last season where he guided his side to an automatic promotion ticket into the topflight league. The team has since released 12 players from the squad which helped them to get topflight league promotion. — (farpost.co.za/Sports Reporter)
