LUVUYO MEMELA NAMED IN THE CAF CHAMPIONS LEAGUE TEAM OF THE WEEK
As confirmed by the Confederation of African Football’s media, the Mbwekweni-born winger has highlighted his name in the content.
According to the pick, Memela was one of the best performers in the CAF Champions League round of action last week, thanks to his fabulous goal against Horoya in the 1-0 win at Moses Mabhida last Friday.
The former Orlando Pirates star was not the only DStv Premiership star in the team. Also in the CAF Champions League Team of the Week is Mamelodi Sundowns’ center back Brian Mandela Onyango.

THREE ORLANDO PIRATES PLAYERS DISAPPOINT KHANYE IN THE CAFCC
Former Kaizer Chiefs attacker Junior Khanye has named three players that let Orlando Pirates down in last weekend’s CAF Confederation Cup game against Al-Ittihad.
As The South African reported last Sunday evening, Bucs took the daunting trip to Libya to battle the local cup champions.
It was there where Bandile Shandu’s first-half brace was not enough to prevent a 3-2 loss. According to Junior Khanye’s analysis, the result could have been avoided if three Pirates players delivered better performances.
The ex-Kaizer Chiefs star has suggested goalkeeper Siyabonga Mpontshane, Fortune Makaringe, and Thembinkosi Lorch were largely responsible for the defeat. Read the full story here.
