Tsholotsho have roped in ex Bosso coach Bongani Mafu as assistant coach in an effort to save their sinking ship from relegation, the Chronicle has reported.

Mafu will take over from Sithethelelwe Sibanda who has since joined the Mighty Warriors technical team. He was fired by Highlanders after  a string of poor results.

Tsholotsho FC sits precariously on 13th position just inside the relegation waters but 3 points behind safety.

Bongani Mafu will be assistant to head coach Lizwe Sweswe and their immediate task will be taking on high flying FC Platinum who are on a 13 match unbeaten run.
