Daniel Cardoso reflects on former Orlando Pirates star’s impact at Sekhukhune United — “He brought happiness to the team”
Sekhukhune United captain Daniel Cardoso says Linda Mntambo’s retirement is a major loss for the club. Mntambo, a former Orlando Pirates midfielder, was valued not only for his footballing contribution but also for bringing energy, happiness and leadership to the dressing room. Despite losing several senior players, Cardoso believes younger members of the squad can help fill the leadership and cultural void as the team begins a new season under coach Cedric Kaze.

Durban City coach Khalil Ben Youssef finds positives in former Kaizer Chiefs star's display after Sekhukhune defeat
Durban City coach Khalil Ben Youssef praised his team's performance despite a 1–0 opening-day defeat to Sekhukhune United, saying the side improved after half-time and created chances. He singled out former Kaizer Chiefs striker Tashreeq Morris, who missed two headed opportunities and was unlucky not to score. Ben Youssef explained that Gaston Sirino was benched because he had only recently returned from a two-week injury absence. Durban City will next face Orlando Pirates in the MTN8 quarter-finals.
