Mabedi also ran the rule over a few youth players who had been instrumental in Amakhosi’s first Multichoice Diski Challenge reserve league title victory in 2017-18‚ including second-half substitute and 83rd-minute scorer Yusuf Bunting.
Bernard Parker had put Chiefs ahead in the 17th minute‚ getting a touch into goal from Siphiwe Tshabalala’s cross.
Apart from Bunting‚ another MDC player looked at by Mabedi was 20-year-old Given Thibedi.
Bunting’s goal came when Hendrick Ekstein chested Parker’s cross into the path of the youngster to get the touch past the Buya keeper.
