“The players have given a lot of themselves this season, and I am proud of the commitment and determination they have shown,” Mabena told the Amakhosi website.

“Starting a new team comes with its challenges, but they have continued to work hard, learn and grow together. There is a lot we can take from this campaign, and we have a good foundation to build on.

“Football is a collective effort, and I would like to thank the Club’s management for the support they have given us,” she continued.

“I am equally grateful to my technical team for their dedication and the work they have put in behind the scenes to prepare the players and help them improve. Everyone has played a part in getting us to this point.

“We know there is still work to do, but we have learned a lot this season. The important thing is to take those lessons forward and remain ambitious,” concluded Mabena.
