Magesi FC Chief Executive Officer (CEO) John Mathibe cannot wait for the Carling Knockout clash against Orlando Pirates.
Billed as one of the matches to watch, Dikwena Tša Meetse will travel to face the Buccaneers in an away clash
The Premier Soccer League (PSL) has confirmed we will meet Pirates at Orlando Stadium on Saturday, October 19, with kick off set for 15H00.
When the draw was made, Magesi FC’s matchup with Pirates was received with the biggest applause during the draw at The Galleria in Sandton, Johannesburg, recently.
Magesi’s CEO, Mr. Mathibe, was one of the interested spectators at the draw, and after some reflection, he says this is a big game by all accounts.
“I’m warning Pirates. We have a lot of respect for them, and we, as Magesi FC, would like to congratulate them on their recent victory as MTN8 Champions,” Mr. Mathibe tells our media team.
“Dikwena Tša Meetse is taking this game seriously, and we are in a position to make history. It’s about everything that we have worked for; our players have an opportunity to grow as professionals, and Magesi FC will be taking the brand to another level,” he says.
Magesi FC has a big responsibility not only to its supporters, but the honourable Chief of Moletjie, Kgoshi Kgabo Moloto III (K3), and the CEO has given his word that the team will put up a great fight in honour of the Chief, the Chairman, Mr. Solly Makhubela, and the club’s followers.
“I want to promise The Chief of Moletjie, his Majesty Kgoshi Kgabo Moloto III (K3), and our supporters that we will give everything that we have on the day. To our esteemed Chairman and his family, we want to make you proud. As for Pirates, they have a reputation to protect, but we are ready,” Mathibe adds.
Interestingly, Magesi FC head coach, Clinton Larsen, has a history with Pirates, having played for the club over two decades ago, but also his battles with them as a coach over the years.
This is a game not to be missed.
