“Credit goes to the whole team for their never ending spirit, we have been working hard towards reaching high standards and with the kind of team work that we have, our team is certainly going to be the team to beat in the national league,” he said.
He also went on to thank their coach Khanyile Dlamini for her guidance that she has provided to the team as he said, “Not forgetting the contributions that have been made by our coach, she has been there for us since the beginning of this journey and in her we have a great leader through whom we have learnt a lot of volleyball lessons,” said Sibanda.
