CAVANN SIBEKO (PART 2)
Shakes, it’s great talking to you again. Last week we ended our conversation about your former teammate Themba Mnguni, who was asked by coach Pitso Mosimane to stop driving his convertible car at 02h00AM. Where do we start this week?
Thanks a lot for having me again. But before we continue with SuperSport United, let me tell you a story about what happened when Orlando Pirates went to Nigeria to play against Enyimba FC in the CAF Champions League. Our then teammate Onyekachi Okonkwo is also from Nigeria, so he offered to take us to his house after the match.
Onyekachi offered to take you and Pirates players to his house without you guys even asking?
Yes, he did and we were all excited that we were going to go out after the match and just to see where our teammate lived in Nigeria. He said he was going to host us in his big house. We went to Nigeria, played the match and beat Enyimba. But as we were travelling to the stadium before the match, we were all surprised about why Okonkwo was carrying a large suitcase because after the match we were going to go to his house. So we were wondering why he was carrying a big suitcase. After the match, we were supposed to go back to the hotel, shower and then go to his house. Guess what happened? Ha, ha, ha, as the bus was taking us to the hotel, Okonkwo was at the door next to the bus driver and when the bus stopped, this man, grabbed his bag, jumped off the bus and ran into an alleyway, gone, ha, ha, ha.

I don't regret anything
Once a familiar figure in the PSL midfield with spells at Free State Stars, Polokwane City, SuperSport United and Royal AM, Moffat Mdluli has quietly transitioned into a new chapter of his football journey through the fast-growing world of five-a-side football. Now representing Orlando Pirates Fives, the 40-year-old remains fiercely competitive, proving that the love for the game does not fade with age or changing formats. In December last year, Mdluli and his Pirates teammates lifted the 5quad League title, walking away with a remarkable R500 000 prize after dominating the tournament. In this interview with Soccer Laduma's Delmain Faver, he opens up about life beyond the PSL, his business ventures, and the rapid rise of five-a-side football as a genuine platform for elite competition and player resurgence.

Sibisi was also the weakest link
The issue of player selection is a tricky one, but this tournament, and the Cameroon game in particular where the coach applied a 3-5-2 formation, told us that the personnel he had at his disposal didn’t suit that gameplan.

It's not easy for Siwelele to lose
In the late 1990s, Lehlohonolo Seema was part of the youthful yet formidable Bloemfontein Celtic alongside his fellow countryman Lebajoa Mphongoa. The duo were recruited from Lesotho to Siwelele by the late coach April \"Styles\" Phumo. More than 25 years later, Seema is back at the club, now re-named Siwelele FC, this time as a coach. In this interview with Soccer Laduma's Delmain Faver, Seema opens up about his team's challenging yet promising first half of the 2025/26 Betway Premiership season. After 15 matches that have seen the club climb from the depths of despair to a respectable mid-table position, Seema reflects on the psychological battles, tactical adjustments, and crucial decisions that have shaped their campaign. The mentor discusses the decision to relocate all home fixtures to Bloemfontein, the mental rehabilitation of players scarred by previous relegation battles, and the emergence of promising young talents like 20-year-old striker Siviwe Magidigidi.
