Meanwhile, club physio Kutlwano Molefe said, as quoted on the club’s website: “The festive period is over, it’s time to put ourselves to the test and prepare for the season ahead. However, before we begin conditioning and football work, we must first establish a physical, physiological and psychological foundation that will determine the rest of the season. This is probably one of the most important parts of the season.
