The spotlight will firmly be on former Venda FC marksman Judas Moseamedi this weekend as Selwane White Vultures travel to face high-flying Tzaneen United in a mouth-watering league showdown that could define both their season and the striker’s early chapter at his new club.
Moseamedi has yet to open his scoring account in two matches for the Vultures. He made his debut against Mukondeni Young Chiefs, where he was closely marked and given little space to operate. Last weekend, he produced a strong all-round performance against Badhuza Celtics, creating chances and working tirelessly, but once again failed to find the back of the net.
Despite his goal drought, the Vultures secured a crucial victory over Badhuza Celtics, collecting three valuable points that lifted them from an unfamiliar ninth position on the log. The win moved them to within just one point of their opponents, boosting confidence within the camp.
The star of that match was Vultures forward Palelo Mafuyeka, who stole the show with a stunning brace. He was unstoppable throughout the match, troubling defenders with his pace and skill. One of his goals stood out as he produced a moment of brilliance, dribbling past four defenders before calmly beating one of the league’s top goalkeepers, Ntsakiso “Carl Devine” Nkuna.
Now attention shifts to this weekend’s tough assignment against in-form Tzaneen United. Moseamedi will be expected to use his experience and leadership to guide the Vultures’ attack and help secure another vital result. Many believe this could be the match where he finally breaks his goal drought.
However, Nkowankowa Stadium brings back painful memories for the Vultures. The last time they played there, they abandoned their match against Nkowankowa Continental in protest over what they described as unfair refereeing.
With momentum slowly building and confidence returning, Selwane White Vultures will be eager to put those memories behind them and focus on climbing further up the table. All eyes will once again be on Moseamedi, as fans wait in anticipation for his first goal in Vultures colours.
Vultures forward Palelo Mafuyeka is a player to watch this weekend.
