WAFA come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Wa All Stars did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

This league is too small for Siyabonga Mabena
He is doing things on a Saturday afternoon that nobody around him can answer, which is flattering for about one season and a problem after that. Wa All Stars will not keep him by pretending otherwise.
In brief

- Market Siyabonga Mabena arrives on loan
- Market Ibrahim Keita leaves for nothing
