BLACK Leopards coach, Rodwell Dhlakama, has confirmed the signing of Zimbabwe international, Douglas Mapfumo.
The Legends Academy product is expected to help the Limpopo side turn the corner after a sluggish start which saw them struggling in the relegation waters.
Black Leopards host Venda FC in a basement affair tomorrow.
The Motsepe Foundation Championship resumed this week after the festive season break.
The two sides would want to put their sluggish start in the campaign behind them with a win tomorrow.
Interestingly, both sides have two Zimbabweans in their camps.
Venda FC are home to the duo of Tatenda Tavengwa and Edmore Chirambadare.
Dhlakama challenged the 22-year-old striker to make a mark.
“He’s still young and a promising player, we are hoping that he will adapt quickly and deliver what is expected,” said Dhlakama.
“We have endured a lot in our first 12 fixtures of the season and we are praying for a change in fortune in our first game from the break.
“The team is in a good space to turn the tables, the energy levels are quite motivating and it’s our hope that the boys will apply what they have been showing tomorrow.”
Dhlakama has overseen two wins, three draws and a loss.
The club has also roped in former Kaizer Chiefs’ playmaker, Sphelele Ntshangase.
