Namibians in titanic clashes
Titanic clashes are scheduled for the weekend as the DStv Premiership returns to the screens.
LIMBA MUPETAMI
WINDHOEK
The DStv Premiership is enjoyed all over Africa, with a large portion of Namibians making up those numbers as they follow Namibian players who play for clubs in South Africa.
The names the local fans follow include the likes of Peter Shalulile, Deon Hotto and Riaan Hanamub, and the Premiership presents an opportunity to enjoy their talent on display.
And they will no longer have to wait because today Shalulile’s Sundowns and AmaZulu, the two sides that occupied the top two spots in the previous season, will kick off proceedings at Loftus Versveld Stadium.
Sixteen DStv Premiership teams take to the pitch for the opening round of league fixtures.
There will be a total of five matches scheduled for Saturday and two more on Sunday to complete the first weekend block.
On Saturday, several other Namibians are also expected to star for their respective clubs, with Hotto’s Orlando Pirates taking on Stellenbosch.
Joslin Kamatuka and Ananias Gebhardt’s Baroka will go up against Marumo Gallants. Lloyd Kazapua and Riaan Hanamub of Chippa United will clash with Sekhukhune United.
Hanamub said the pre-season preparations went well and he was waiting in anticipation for the league to start.
“We want to project what we have prepared into the league. So, I can’t wait,” he said.
On Sunday, Virgil Vries’s Moroka Swallows will face Bloemfontein Celtic, whereas Max Mbaeva’s Golden Arrows will compete on Wednesday against SuperSport United.
