AmaZulu's reserve team coach Ayanda Dlamini believes that his team's bright start to the MultiChoice Diski

AmaZulu's reserve team coach Ayanda Dlamini believes that his team's bright start to the MultiChoice Diski Challenge (MDC) is due to his players' dedication on the field of play.
AmaZulu, who are at the summit of the log standings after match-day four, have been pacesetters in the feeder league so far after bagging 10 points from 12, winning three games and enduring one draw.
"It's been a very good couple of weeks for us a team," Dlamini said. "This is really a season for us to compete, and we have done well so far. We've got a relatively new squad, which is small, so the players are self motivated to do well because they know that whoever does well will play. So, I just give them the freedom to play their game, and I have been really lucky to have such players."
It might be too early to tell where they'll finish after the last game of the season, but Dlamini confirmed that they've not been given an ultimatum by the management to win the Diski, although it will be the best thing that has ever happened to the team if they do.
"There hasn't been an ultimatum from the management, but they just want us to improve from last season's log position(12th)," he explained. "However, we would love to win it. After all, it's a very good experience when teams go overseas as everyone, the players and technical team, gets valuable experience."
Another strong point from the 34-year-old coach this season has been the ability to rotate the captaincy as that has caused responsibility among the squad. The team's captain remains Sandile Khumalo, although Sibusiso Maluleke has also donned the armband this season.
Usuthu will be without talisman Charlie Hlalele, who's out injured, for their encounter against second-placed Cape Town City on Saturday at Sugar Ray Xulu Stadium (10am), however, Dlamini is banking on Bayanda Shangase to continue with his scoring spree. So far, Shangase has scored four goals.
"It will be a difficult match against against Cape Town City," he said. "However, I hope that Shangase will continue with the consistency. It's his first season in the MDC, and he's really done well so far."
Meanwhile, Golden Arrows' coach Vusumuzi Vilkazi says that the team's inconsistency this season has been caused by the inability of his new players to adapt quicker into the team. He also highlighted that it's too early to think that they are out of the title race. Arrows are currently 11th on the log standings with four points.

what is the most frightening thing that you have ever seen happen in life

It’s a man looking over his family during the British Raj in India. There were many cases of cannibalism and he feared someone would try to kill and eat his children or wife. I acknowledge this is a difficult picture to look at— but I included it for a reason. Many people in the US/West aren’t even aware of the terrible famines that swept through India and which are comparable to the holocaust in deaths (an estimated ~30 million people have died in famines in India). This was taken from the Great Famine of 1876–1878, which was far worse than the infamous Bengal Famine. It was caused by a crop failure/drought and was exacerbated by the crown’s export of wheat abroad. In total, 5.6 - 9 million people died (it’s hard to get exact figures). And within huge statistics like these, are forgotten stories. These are individuals and families, who slowly faced the despair of knowing they had no food and would have no food in the near future. They faced the horror of knowing there was

WHAT A HUSBAND TOLD HIS WIFE THE NIGHT OF THEIR MARRIAGE/ WEDDING

My wife, everyone has gone home. The music is quiet, the celebration is over. Our wedding was beautiful but it is now in the past. We have finished the wedding/marriage, it is now time to build our marriage. All that is left now is the two of us… What we will become tomorrow, starts from tonight. Our life is no longer the same. There was a day you put on one red dress… You looked so beautiful in it. That Day I wanted to just touch you! We were in the Cinema and I was so tempted. I wanted to just take you inside the toilet and kiss you but I couldn’t. Guess what? Now I have you forever, I can do that everyday. Before I take off your cloth and make love to you… let me tell you few things. I have nothing to hide from you from this day. My phone, you can use it like your own. You can access my facebook, my twitter and my Instagram From today, I have become a child. For the past five years of my life, I have been a man. I wake myself up in the morning, sometimes I go to bed hung

MARRIED OR NOT, YOU SHOULD READ This life moment

“When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I’ve got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes. Suddenly I didn’t know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know crewhat I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic calmly. She didn’t seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why? You know  I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! That night, we didn’t talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer; she had lost my heart to Jane. I didn’t love her anymore. I just pitied her! With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company. She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. The woman who had spent ten
