Chippa United co-coach Thabo September has explained the rationale behind the club releasing as many as 16 players in preparation for next season. The Chilli Boys raised eyebrows when they made the announcement on Thursday with the club set to begin pre-season next week ahead of the upcoming 2024/25 campaign.
Mbenyane farewellAmongst the players who have parted ways with Chippa is long-serving captain and midfielder Andile Mbenyane who has been with the Gqeberha-based club for more than a decade.
Andile finishes his career at the only club he knows in the PSL. It was a good ending for him and he was on the field when we played Sekhukhune United just to give him a send-off. We will miss him and hes a legend of the club. He told us a month before we finished the season that it was his last campaign and it was great to work with such a great professional, September concluded.
