UWC Sports Director, Mandla Gagayi believes the new signings will help his team to be the next league champions.
“We learned some valuable lessons last season. It wasn’t nice for us to postpone matches because we had four call-ups to the South African national team. It is our intention to win the Hollywoodbets Super League this season. Now we want to be in a space where even if we have several players in the national team, we’ll have competitive players that will go and win matches for us.” Gagayi said.
