Baroka FC chairman Khurishi Mphahlele has now made peace with the fact that his club will not be returning to the DStv Premiership next season.
Bakgaga who were relegated from the top-tier last season are currently in the bottom half of the Motsepe Foundation Championship.

Mphahlele says the players they recruited in the off-season were not cut out for professional football.
"We've even made changes to our technical team, if things are not working out, we can't fold our arms," Mphahlele tells KickOff.
"But we haven't released Bushy Moloi yet, he is on sick leave. His position has been given to somebody else for now.
"This season is gone. Our pre-season was not good. All the players we signed in pre-season had to be let go.
"So, there was something wrong with the pre-season arrivals. They were not good quality.
"All those who arrived at the beginning of the season are all gone. They were not good at all. They were released in January.
"We are now playing with our old MDC players. But all those that were signed by Vincent Kobola they are gone. They were signed by Kobola.
"All those players they were all nonsense. It's a lesson for us. We went with Kobola's recommendations we didn't even look at the quality of the players. We trusted him. And we were wrong. So, I can't blame him alone.
"We said 'Coach because you played in the PSL you know football, can you please build us a team?"
"I even gave him my car to travel around the country to scout players. But the players he brought here, some of them didn't play even a single match the way they were so poor.
"He couldn't even field them, but he recommended them. Chairmen sign this player, I sign, sign this player, I sign...when the league starts, he doesn't want to play them.
"Next season you will see; we will be back hands-on. This thing of giving authority to the coach is no more.
"We will be on the ground, we will be in the tournaments, we will be in the playoffs.
"We are not going to sit at home and send someone and then he comes with rubbish."
