"It's a good feeling and about time that Thanda won the league," he told Soccer Laduma. "The players did a good job. We needed to do the business by getting automatic promotion. This way is much better otherwise you're playing a dice going through the playoffs."
This is the second time in which the 41-year-old managed to promote a side into the top flight.
"I was Vladislav Heric's assistant when Chippa United won promotion," he concluded.
Thanda last slipped out of the PSL in 2008/09 after going down 3-0 to Mpumalanga Black Aces in the playoffs and have subsequently failed twice to make it back in the same competition.
