Ex-Chiefs Striker Joins Gallants Ranks

Betway Premiership side Marumo Gallants have welcomed Collins Mbesuma to their ranks to work with their technical team.

The Zambian arrived at the club recently, and according to one of the players at the club, he is responsible for sharpening the strikers.

“He’s a Strikers Coach, but he only comes to training. He was not in camp with us when we played Kruger United,” said the player.

Marumo Gallants official Rufus Matsena couldn’t confirm whether Mbesuma has signed for the club or not.

“Give me a few days and I will get you the information,” he said when this publication inquired.

In his heyday, Mbesuma played for all of South Africa’s top sides: Kaizer Chiefs, Orlando Pirates, and Mamelodi Sundowns.

Mbesuma is placed seventh on the Premier Soccer League (PSL) top scorers list of all time, with 103 goals to his name.

He’s one of just two players who managed to win the PSL top scorer award on two occasions or more.

Mbesuma was the top scorer with 25 league goals for Kaizer Chiefs when they won the league in the 2004/05 season.

During the 2015/16 season, he was also the top scorer for the now-defunct Mpumalanga Black Aces, scoring 14 goals.

Peter Shalulile, who played for Highlands Park and Mamelodi Sundowns, remains the only player to win the award on three occasions in 2019/20, 2021/22, and 2022/23.
