Mdaka's Marumo to gallantly fight on two different fronts

“We have been in this situation (for a while) and unfortunately there’s no remedy for this, We just have to get into that bush. You can’t say you are not going to Tanzania or that we want to play the league first and finish. We have to do what is supposed to be done, go to Tanzania and play that game, come back and play the second leg even before we play the last (league) game against Swallows.”

Speaking after his team had just lost 2-0 to Mamelodi Sundowns at the Peter Mokaba Stadium, Mdaka acknowledged they have no choice but to wait things out here at home and hope for the best.

“What has to happen is for us to watch other games played until the last game and see how things go.”

Gallants are positioned 14th on the league table after 29 matches, three points ahead of bottom-placed Maritzburg United who have two more matches to complete the campaign. They are tied on points with Chippa United but the Chilli Boys have played 28 matches.
