PREMIER LEAGUE Badela’s debut: A promising start for Durban City
The Star
|January 27, 2026
DURBAN City needed reassurance more than rhetoric after the departure of Gavin Hunt, and under the lights at Chatsworth Stadium on Sunday, they found it in ninety hard-earned minutes.
New coach Sinethemba Badela’s first competitive outing in charge delivered more than just a result - it offered clarity, calm anda sense of direction at a club navigating transition.
The former Chippa United coach marked his debut with a gritty victory over Polokwane City, a performance built on resolve rather than spectacle.
It was a win that lifted City up to sixth place on the Betway Premiership table and, perhaps more importantly, suggested that the club's mid-season technical restructuring was rooted in substance rather than slogan.
Badela was quick to redirect the spotlight away from himself, instead praising a group he believes laid the foundation for the result long before his arrival on the touchline.
