Hola Rhulani, thanks for making time to have a chat with us this week.
You are no stranger to being on In Touch because you shared some stories with us a few years ago. Since you know what In Touch is all about, so we can get straight into it...
We had a physical trainer while I was at Magesi FC. He was from Brazil. His name is Pedro Piccarro. He's a character who was always teasing people. That's what I remember most from my time at the club. There was a time when he bought a camera to record training. I think he bought it from Temu, ha, ha, ha. I was teasing him because it was too small and I was telling him that he bought it from Temu, ha, ha, ha. You should have seen that camera. He was on my case for the whole week, but otherwise he was a great guy, and I enjoyed working with him.
Ha, ha, ha. Did he try to use that camera to take any footage of training?

Are Duba and Msimango saving their Chiefs careers?
After Kaizer Chiefs' dire streak of five losses in six matches, supporters were calling for changes to both the technical team and the playing staff for next season. Two players who looked to be totally out of favour, and fighting to even have a future at the club, were Wandile Duba and Given Msimango. The latter was seemingly fourth choice centre-back in a team that has kept plenty of clean sheets this season. Duba was down the pecking order for both the centre-forward and winger roles. Fast forward seven matches and the duo have been key reasons for Amakhosi's seven-match unbeaten run with five wins. Has this run of strong form potentially saved their careers at the Naturena-based club, as well as pushing them into the thinking for a long-term place in the best XI? In this feature, we examine the reasons for the pair's return to form and favour.

It definitely hurt me
The start of the season was not so easy for versatile player Liam Bern. After Cape Town Spurs got relegated from the Motsepe Foundation Championship to the amateur ABC Motsepe League, there was a big legal battle over players' contracts. Considering that Spurs were no longer a professional team, players, including Bern, fought to have themselves declared as free agents due to the fact that the contracts they had were for professional players, not amateur contracts. It took a while, but Bern and his former Spurs teammates Asanele Velebayi, Luke Baartman and Mervin Boji, won their cases and were allowed to join clubs of their choice in the PSL. While the case was ongoing, Bern had already signed a deal with AmaZulu FC and was training with the club, but they had to wait until the case was finalised at arbitration before announcing him. Soccer Laduma's Tshepang Mailwane caught up with Bern to find out what the period was like for him and what moving away from home for the first time in his life has been like.
