Barker hoping Stellies’ Mdaka can bring his energy to Sundowns clash
The Star
|August 29, 2025
STELLENBOSCH FC coach Steve Barker is hoping left back Omega Mdaka can continue his excellent start to the season when they face Mamelodi Sundowns in a crucial Betway Premiership clash at Athlone Stadium tomorrow.
Mdaka, 20, has been a revelation since stepping in on the left side of defence following Fawaaz Basadien’s departure at the end of last season. Ironically, Mdaka may come up against his former teammate, with Sundowns now deploying the Bafana Bafana wingback Basadien on the right rather than his usual left flank.
Mdaka, a product of the Kaizer Chiefs Academy, has impressed with a cultured left boot, joining attacks at every opportunity while maintaining his defensive discipline. Already, he’s picked up two Player of the Match awards this season — and now faces a stern test of his credentials against the reigning champions.
