"Bongani played for Pirates, Maritzburg United and Tembisa Classic, among other clubs. Jacksa Spears is the same team that played in the Nedbank Cup Last 32 during the 2012/13 season and lost to African Warriors. I was a player/coach back then and Thulani Nkosi who is now with Upington City and was the head coach. Cashibe was part of that group and we have returned to the club to help the owner to get the club promoted. We would like to give hope to the local kids and people here about professional football in the area. Former Jomo Cosmos defender Ricardo Versuur is one of the players we have already signed," he concluded.
