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.

Coronavirus: 'The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing'

"The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing," says Andrew O'Dwyer, who is recovering after being infected with the new coronavirus following a skiing trip to Italy in late February. "I've had worse flu, without a doubt - but I wouldn't want to catch it again," he says during his self-isolation at home in south-west London. Despite having type 1 diabetes, Andrew says having the virus "isn't anything to worry about for me personally". He adds that the fever he experienced is "no different to normal flu-type symptoms". "I've not been concerned," he says. The severity of symptoms can vary widely among people. Those who are older and have pre-existing medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease) are more likely to become severely ill and can need hospital treatment. There have been 10 coronavirus-related deaths so far in the UK. Andrew was told the virus wasn't circulating in the resort ...

THE MASCARENE PARROT

The Mascarene parrot was 35 cm (14 in) in length with a large red bill and long, rounded tail feathers. Its legs were red, and it had naked red skin around the eyes and nostrils. It had a black facial mask and partially white tail feathers, but the colouration of the body, wings and head is unclear. Descriptions from life indicate the body and head were ash grey, and the white part of the tail had two dark central feathers. In contrast, descriptions based on stuffed specimens state that the body was brown and the head bluish but do not mention the dark central tail feathers. This may be due to the specimens having changed colour as a result of aging and exposure to light, as well as other forms of damage. Very little is known about the bird in life. The Mascarene parrot was first mentioned in 1674, and live specimens were later brought to Europe, where they lived in captivity . The species was scientifically described in 1771. Only two stuffed specimens exist today, in Paris and Vienn...
