“The challenge is Mabasa,” said Mokwena.
“The challenge is that the competition is strong. Shonga is a very important player for us. He offers us a very different dynamic with regards to our game model and how we have to play.”
“And at the same time and the same moment, he knows that as much as he is important, he also has other important strikers he has to compete with. One being Mabasa, the other being Gabadinho Mhango, there is also Augustine Mulenga and the young Zakhele Lepasa. They are all important strikers and they all know how important they are to the team.”
