MAMELODI SUNDOWNS coach Pitso Mosimane was thrilled by skillful Kudakwashe Mahachi’s performance on Wednesday night against Moroka Swallows in an Absa Premiership game. The Warriors marksman was thrown in the second half of the match which the Brazilians won 2-0.
Mosimane said he had a plan for the former Chicken Inn and Highlanders winger and wanted him to study well the PSL games before being introduced.
The former Bafana Bafana coach told Chronicle Sport: “I know very well about Kada’s strength I didn’t want to put him under pressure. I knew giving him that time in the second half he was going to capitalise on that and he did exactly what I told him to do. The good thing about him is that he scored in our first win of the season and that also can build his confidence.”
Mosimane said he was happy with the way the pint sized Mahachi had adjusted to the South African game.
Mosimane said he gave Mahachi’s fellow countryman, Cuthbert Malajila little time as he was coming from an injury.“We know Malajila’s strength, he is one of our key players at Sundowns. He missed a few pre-season games but I know he will fight for his position as soon as he is fully fit.”
