Papi Zothwane will take charge of Sekhukhune United FC for the first time as interim coach when they visit Richards Bay on Saturday. The move follows the club's decision to part ways with Cedric Kaze, with Babina Noko looking to climb from sixth place in the Premier Soccer League.
Zothwane's first assignment is a trip to Princess Magogo Stadium to face a Richards Bay side also under interim leadership. The Natal Rich Boys have placed assistant Vusumuzi Gumede and reserve-team coach Mxolisi Msomi in temporary charge after Ronnie Gabriel's exit, following a winless start to the season.
Sekhukhune United have taken eight points from their first six games, leaving them 12 points behind leaders Mamelodi Sundowns. Their recent form shows two draws and three defeats, with their last outing a 1-1 draw against Stellenbosch where Bethuel Muzeu scored.
Richards Bay sit 14th, having collected just three points from six matches. This fixture represents a key opportunity for both sides to halt difficult runs.
The match kicks off on Saturday with Sekhukhune United aiming for a first win in five attempts.
