WITH key striker Phumelele Ace Bhengu leading the list of National First Division goal scorers with five to his name in the last four outings, Thanda Royal Zulu are full of confidence going into Saturday’s 3pm home game against Highlands Park.
And with an almost full compliment of players to call on, including marksmen Menzi Hlophe and Mhlengi Cele, coach Thami Ngubane will look to build on the superb 3-0 win over All Stars last week.
Only Junior Sekete is unavailable as he serves out the last game following a red card.
Curently lying in 6th position, another win for Amabhubesi will give them plenty of spirit ahead of matches against Black Leopards on Wednesday 29 October and Milano United on Saturday 1 November – both these sides occupying higher places on the log.
