For the past few weeks Asekho Tiwani has been like a sponge sucking up information in his new surroundings at Chloorkop.
The South Africa under-20 captain was a surprise signing by Mamelodi Sundowns last month to add numbers to the defence, where he will be competing for places with big-name left-backs Terrence Mashego, Divine Lunga and Aubrey Modiba.
Tiwani, 19, is among a group of younger players pushing to establish themselves at Sundowns such as Siyabonga Mabena, Thapelo Maseko, Thando Buthelezi and Ntandoyenkosi Nkosi, and to a lesser extent Tashreeq Matthews and Kobamelo Kodisang.
As Downs prepared for their MTN8 semifinal first leg against Stellenbosch FC at Lucas Moripe Stadium on Wednesday, Tiwani was asked to reflect on his short stay at Chloorkop. He said he is on a learning curve and will await his opportunity.
What the coaches have told me is my game wont change too much but they will add a few things that are lacking. There is no person who is perfect and this is a great opportunity for me to learn, he said.
