It is impossible to carry the entire DStv Premiership campaign undefeated. That’s the opinion of Mamelodi Sundowns co-coach Mangoba Mngqithi.
He doesn’t want to put unnecessary pressure on his players, but he admitted that they are favorites to regain his Premiership title. The Brazilians paid tribute to their fallen defender Anele Ngcongca in style with a resounding 3-0 victory over Stellenbosch at Loftus Versfeld Stadium at the weekend.
Peter Shalulile, Kermit Erasmus and Themba Zwane scored to help them get back to the top of the table. Each scorer pulled out a tribute shirt to Ngcongca to celebrate his life.
Both teams wore Ngcongca tribute jerseys during the warm-up. Play was stopped in the 16th minute by a round of applause when Ngcongca wore jersey number 16 against the Brazilians. The ten-time league champions will dedicate 16 games to him, starting with the Stellies.
The players were determined to win the game for Ngcongca, and no team would stand in their way that day.
“We would like to thank Stellenbosch for supporting the initiative to celebrate Anele’s life, and we appreciate it. They didn’t complain and were happy to help us honor him. We celebrated in the 16th minute of the game with the support of the referees and the opposition. We will dedicate 16 games to him. He improved the dressing room with his jokes and did not like to lose a game. Anele was a great figure for the club and the country, ”said Mngqithi.
He said the league supported his initiative.
