A celebration of ‘Izintombi'
SEBOKENG.- It was singing, dancing, and ululation when UBuhle Besizwe celebrated maidens, 'Amatshitshi/Izintombi' in Zone 13, Sebokeng on Saturday. This traditional ceremony saw more than 50 young girls gathered together to celebrate their virginity. This traditional ceremony aims to encourage young girls to embrace their worth and wait for the right moment before engaging in sexual activities. The ceremony was attended by the well-respected men and women in the community to embrace these brave young girls. Speaking to Sedibeng Ster, Zandile Radebe, who is the founder of this group from Bophelong, hailed this traditional ceremony as a great success.

Radebe told Sedibeng Ster that this ceremony is about embracing young girls' worth and self-respect. 'We don't force them to do this, they do it willingly.

Nasreddine Nabi to coach his last match for Kaizer Chiefs
Nasreddine Nabi could be on the bench for the last time for Kaizer Chiefs on Saturday. Amakhosi need a win over Polokwane City to secure Top 8 finish. The Soweto giants are currently ninth in the Betway Premiership with only one match remaining. Despite winning the Nedbank Cup earlier this month, Nabi's job at Kaizer Chiefs is not entirely secured and failure to finish in the Top 8 could seal his fate. In the league, Amakhosi have been inconsistent, only managing just eight wins from their 27 matches. According to a number of reports, the Tunisian coach is likely to leave should the team finish outside the Top 8. Kaizer Chiefs legend Lucas Radebe however feels Nabi should be given another season to improve the team. 'It's a pity that we judge coaches by results and he wasn't great in the league but got us what we haven't had in the longest time, which is a trophy,' he said as per TimesLive . 'I think Nabi deserves another season so that we can see where he is heading.' Radebe said the club needed to give Nabi resources to bring in quality players next season. 'For him to bring consistency and the team to get better in the league so that we challenge for honours and qualify for continental football, the club must invest in players. We are hungry for success and Nabi needs the necessary support from the club. This is a big brand on the continent and support for the coach when it comes to recruiting players is crucial. 'They won the Nedbank Cup and this could be a great platform on which to built a team that will consistently win trophies and compete for league honours,' said Radebe. Nabi still have two more years in his contract but Kaizer Chiefs might reconsider if the club fails to finish in the Top 8 for yet another season.

Nasreddine Nabi deserves another season: Chiefs legend Lucas Radebe
Kaizer Chiefs legend Lucas Radebe says coach Nasreddine Nabi must be given another season at Naturena. The charismatic Nabi led Amakhosi to their first major trophy in 10 years and that success also ticked the significant box of qualification for the Confederation Cup next season. But the feel-good factor of having won the Nedbank Cup against rivals Orlando Pirates may be dampened if they end the Betway Premiership season on Saturday outside the top eight. The league campaign comes to an end this weekend and Chiefs are in serious danger of finishing their second successive season outside the top eight if they don't get a favourable result against Polokwane City at FNB Stadium. 'It's a pity that we judge coaches by results and he wasn't great in the league but got us what we haven't had in the longest time, which is a trophy,' said Radebe. 'I think Nabi deserves another season so that we can see where he is heading.' As he gave Nabi the benefit of doubt, Radebe added it is important for the club to recruit quality players if they want to turn their fortunes around and be consistent. 'For him to bring consistency and the team to get better in the league so that we challenge for honours and qualify for continental football, the club must invest in players. We are hungry for success and Nabi needs the necessary support from the club. This is a big brand on the continent and support for the coach when it comes to recruiting players is crucial. 'They won the Nedbank Cup and this could be a great platform on which to built a team that will consistently win trophies and compete for league honours.' Chiefs marketing director Jessica Motaung said they backed Nabi but there would be a review at the end of the season. 'We back the coach and we have had this discussion during the season. It is not a new conversation and I have answered it repeatedly. The coach has a contract and we back him. We are going to sit down with him and see what needs to happen and what needs to change. But we have been backing the technical team and the coach. 'Right now the focus is to finish the season this weekend and then sit down and see what happens. But he has a contract, he is working tirelessly with his assistants to make sure things are tied up properly. I can't speak to that (whether Nabi is going to stay or not) but right now we are focused on moving forward.'
