A fracture rules Meshack Karani out for 28 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Bidco United will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Zakhele Shabangu due for a Bidco United medical

Tshiamo Masisi in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Bidco United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Bidco United add cover with Owami Dlamini
