“We started the first phase in April , 2nd phase July and 3rd Phase this last week. Conti Khubeka and Phera Ranhtlakana were the Coach educators where coach Stanley and myself were the only Zimbabweans and the rest were SA’s citizens,” Fokoza said in an interview.
‘I can now Coach in PSL and this experience will help me upgrade players and those around me,” he said.
Fokoza, who has not sat on the bench for Dulibadzimu United since joining on the second part of the season, returns to his base this week.
