NgoLwesihlanu u-Ellis umemezele isikwati sabadlali abawu-23, wabeka uRefiloe Jane njengokapteni weqembu, uzolekelelwa wu-Thembi Kgatlana no-Andile Dlamini.
Abanye abadlali abaqokile umgadli we-University of Pretoria oshaya inethi kwiHollywoodbets Super League, uWendy Shongwe.
Okuthuse abaningi ukusala kukaNthabiseng Mayiya weRichmond United, kodwa ufakwe ohlwini lwabadlali abangakwzi ukubizelwa ukuzovala izikhala uma kukhona olimalayo.
“Bezinzima kimina nakubadlali izinsuku ezimbalwa ezedlule, kodwa bengifuna ukuzineka isikhathi esanele ukuqinissekisa ukuthi ngiqoka abadlali abafanel.
“Ngilinde kwaze kwaba wumzuzu wokugcina ngoba bengifuna ukuqapha indlela abadlali abadlala ngayo isikhathi eside ngaphambi kokuthi ngiqale ukukhetha. Basebenze kanzima kodwa ekupheleni kosuku kumele ngithathe abadlali abawu-23, okuyinto ebinzima.”
