South African Premier League outfit Magesi FC have parted ways with ten first-team players ahead of the new campaign.
Magesi FC are embarking on a massive squad overhaul in an attempt to build a formidable team for the upcoming 2025/26 football campaign.
The players departing the club include, Gift Motupa, Neverdie Makhubela, Deolin Mekoa, Rulani Manzini, Amos Mokwena, Boikanyo Komane, Maboke Matlakala, Anathi Ngwadla, Given Mashikinya, and Menzi Ndwandwe.
The departures of Motupa and Makhubela are particularly notable, having previously played for the Orlando Pirates, but were unable to make a significant impact at Magesi.
In the wake of the mass departure of players, the club has also sever ties with head coach Owen Da Gama despite steering them out of relegation last term.
Da Gama took charge of Magesi in December 2024 when the club was in the drop zone and managed to finish the season in 13th place, accumulating 31 points from 28 matches.
This was Magesi’s first full season in the top flight after promotion from the Motsepe Foundation Championship. Moreover, the team made history by winning the League Cup in 2024, defeating Mamelodi Sundowns 2-1 in the final.
