Market

Andile Dala asks to leave Ajax Cape Town

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Lebogang Mabunda was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Andile Dala falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
