Thanks so much Zamfoot. Just a point of correction the name of the National First Division team (NFD) Coastal Stream, that Clive Hachilensa signed for is Carara Kicks, and NOT Carcas Kicks. The club is owned by the son of the owner of his former club Free state stars, a Mr. Mokoena.
Thanks for all the updates.
