From Aaron Dube in Johannesburg
FORMER national team defender Method Mwanjali believes his team Mpumalanga Black Aces will collect maximum points when they meet Bidvest Wits in an Absa Premiership encounter this evening at Milpark Stadium in Johannesburg.
“It will be a tough game against Wits, we are hungry for points and we have told ourselves that before the Christmas break we have to collect all points and that will make us end in the league on a respectable position.
“We worked hard and the preparations are spot on. This encounter is a do-or-die as we will be playing against our countrymen in the Wits team.
“There will be no mercy when we face Tinashe Nengomasha, Onismor Bhasera, Thomas Sweswe and Benjani Mwaruwari’s team,” said Mwanjali.
There will be no league matches today as they have paved way for the Telkom Knockout semi-finals.
Former Dynamos defender Kaitano Tembo’s SuperSport United will battle it out with Orlando Pirates tomorrow at 3pm at Lucas Moripe Stadium in Pretoria.
Tembo will be calling the shots on the bench as he is the assistant coach for United.
In the other semi-final, the Warriors duo of Willard Katsande and Kingstone Nkhatha’s Kaizer Chiefs will take on Platinum Stars at FNB Stadium at 8pm.
On Sunday the Absa league matches continue at Globe Park in Bethlehem where Free State Stars take on former national team goalkeeper Tapuwa Kapini’s AmaZulu at 3.30pm.
In the other match at Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane, Polokwane City takes on Pretoria University.
This will be an enjoyable game as City needs maximum points to avoid relegation at the end of the league race and maintain league status.
While University with Warriors goalkeeper Washington Arubi in goal and former Highlanders striker Obadiah Tarumbwa will be there to prove their worth in the team.
In the National First Division, African Warriors play former Highlanders striker Ralph Matema and former Young Warriors stars Patrick and Peter Mubaiwa’s team Witbank Spurs.
In the other match Jomo Cosmos takes on Warriors striker Brian Abbas Amidu’s Black Leopards.
