Sikhwivhilu, Machaka join 'new' Bay

Mulondo Sikhwivhilu, Dukes Machaka join Bay United

Posted: 13 August 2010 Time: 01:53 pm

The new owners of the Bay United franchise have snapped up reigning national First Division top goal scorer Mulondo Sikhwivhilu and veteran midfielder Dukes Machaka as they intensify preparations for the new season. 

Sikhwivhilu, who top scored at fellow First Division side Dynamos last season, has signed a season long deal just like Machaka who is now in the twilight of his career.   Machaka (38) spent the past season at Mpumalanga Black Aces.   "I have signed for a season and through hard work I am sure I will keep scoring goals the way that I did last season," Sikhwivhilu tells KickOff.com.   The 30 year-old will bring valuable experience having played in the PSL for Black Leopards, Orlando Pirates and SuperSport United.   Also signed up is Klaas Galane from Dynamos along with several players that played for Winners Park last season that include Michael Mulaudzi, Million Mkhabela and Sharick Rashango.   The rest of the team is made up of players that were with Bay last season.   Bay have been bought by Polokwane-based businesswoman Julia Mogaladi, but will remain based in Port Elizabeth for the upcoming season with David Bright returning to take charge as head coach.   Though they will continue playing their home games in Port Elizabeth the club has been going through its pre-season training for the past month up north in Polokwane.   However, starting on Monday, Bay will set up base in Springs for a week where they intend to play friendly games against teams based in Gauteng before proceeding to their Eastern Cape base.
