Tsholotsho head coach Lizwe Sweswe admits his side is motivated by the money at stake when they meet Ngezi Platinum this afternoon in the Chibuku Super Cup.

Tsholotsho have struggled financially with a lack of sponsorship and this seems to have also had a negative impact on the club on the field of play as well.

Sweswe’s side are struggling in the league and find themselves occupying one of the relegation spots and are in position 15 with 19 points from 25 games.

However they managed to knockout CAPS United in the first round of the Chibuku Super Cup and are now targeting to go past Ngezi Platinum

Speaking to the Chronicle ahead of the match Sweswe said, “This is a money game we want to win this encounter because we are small team that doesn’t have sponsorship.

“The boys are raring to go and the opportunity to play in cup is motivating them added Sweswe.
