Murambadoro and Mngomezulu leaving Wits

Energy Murambadoro and Sipho Mngomezulu leaving Bidvest Wits

Posted: 22 August 2012 Time: 12:30 pm

The winds of change are continuing at Bidvest Wits with Energy Murambadoro and Sipho Mngomezulu the latest causalities.

Almost all the players from last season's squad have been discarded or are leaving the club since the change in management and coaches.

Murambadoro and Mngomezulu have been pushed aside along with Derrick Spencer while Thando Mngomeni also appears headed out.

"This is football. Things are quiet, but my agents [Prosport International] are looking for a new team for me," says Mngomezulu, who captained Wits last season.

"I was told about this last week Monday. By now clubs have spent their budgets and this is the feedback you get, so it is difficult. Energy [Murambadoro] is another one like me who is out."

In the meanwhile, Wits have welcomed Jackson Mabokgwane who is expected to give Emille Baron stiff competition following the release of Murambadoro.

Both Murambadoro and Mngomezulu are no longer training with the club just like Spencer who has been linked with a move to AmaZulu.

Youth international midfielder Ebrahim Seedat has been spotted by KickOff.com training as he seeks to win a move back to the country after a spell at Belgian club Loreken.

The revolution at Wits initiated by the arrival of Jose Ferreira as the new CEO has seen Roger de Sa replaced by Antonio Lopez Habas with Thomas Sweswe, Tlou Molekwane, James Mayinga, Aaron Mokoena, Bryce Moon, Mathew Pattison, Tinashe Nengomasha, Ofentse Nato, Paty Faty, Calvin Kadi, Robin Ngalande and Erwin Isaacs all coming in as the new players.

The list of players from the Wits squad of last season that has left has swelled and includes Eduan Naude, Enrico Adolph, Timothy Batabaire, Kampamba Chintu, Mngomezulu, Spencer, Fabricio da Silva, David de Oliviera, Mark Haskins, Ntokozo Sikhakhane, Miguel Timm, Nyiko Tshabangu, Masibusane Zongo, Bradley Ritson, Sifiso Myeni, Lehlogonolo Masalelsa, Sifiso Vilakazi and Patrick Phungwayo.

Thokozani Mshengu and Ayo Oluwafemi were signed by De Sa but have also since left without even playing a game.

This must be a Joke. I may not be a fan of De Sa but how could Mr Habas underestimate De Sa`s intelligency like that! Clearly this European coaches are forever underestimating the Tactical ability of local coaches( Although De Sa might be born in Mocambique, He is mo familiar with RSA than any other country). I don`t foresee Habas ever achieving anything with that attitude he is caring.

This Hobos is destroying Wits. Next season all the players tha have signed for Wits University will be signed by Pretoria University as well as Hobos to relegate them as well. That will be the end of tertiary education in PSL.

Wits signed good quality players, but they released good quality players as well. It will be difficult for the players to adopt to Wits style of play because they all coming from different teams and I forsee Wits trying to find a winning combination for the rest of the season, and then get relegated.

I fully agree that De Sa is to blame for Wits' downfall because he should have never left the club in the first place.
