The 27-year-old is the first Asian player to ply his trade in the South African top-flight having joined from Home United in Singapore, and adds to coach Steve Komphela’s front-line options for the new season.

One wonders if there is a course for match officials or it’s a recruitment of volunteers who have the ambition to be on the spot light. It is not easy to prove if some local referees [...]
