Vodacom Premier League returns
Kick4Life against Bantu (in gold and black outfit) in previous league game
The league kicked off with a match between Lifofane, who had hosted Lioli in Butha Buthe on Wednesday for the only catch up game from the first four rounds of the 2021 season that started in November last year.
Tse Nala, now under the mentorship of a new technical team made of Mosholu “Shoes” Mokhothu and Mohaila Letseka enjoyed a comfortable 2-0 victory over Lifofane.
Switbith Kumo and Tumelo Makha scored the two goals for Lioli with an own goal by Mafa Moremoholo nearly helping Lifofane fight their way back into the game.
Mokhothu and Letseka took over the reins following the passing on of former head coach Thomas Tshabalala in January.
