A midfield enforcer, whom many people feel should have been included in the Namibian national team squad for the Africa Cup of Nations, arrived in South Africa last week seeking fortune and fame.
Namibian Premier League side Eeshoke Chula Chula's anchor, Moses 'Grava' Shidolo, is being assessed by Pretoria Callies in the Motsepe Foundation Championship. The player most Namibians feel could have shored up their midfield with his aggressive yet intelligent reading of the game did not allow the snub to get him down and instead travelled to Mzansi with his management team.
Siya sources confirmed that he arrived in Tshwane and, depending on how he fares during his assessment, could earn a contract with the Romans. Although successfully converted into a defensive midfielder, Shidolo initially played as a striker and proved his scoring abilities when he netted the solitary goal in the final as Chula Chula beat favorites African Stars 1-0 to win the Hage Geingob Cup last November.
Callies have a tough programme to turn things around when the second tier resumes in mid-February, but even if they sign the Namibian international, it is not clear whether his work permit shall have been processed.
