Tim Sukazi Happy with The Influence of Lifa Hlongwane!

Tim Sukazi Happy with The Influence of Lifa Hlongwane! The dynamic midfielder has been inspirational since joining The Rockets.

TS Galaxy midfielder Lifa Hlongwane has been impressive for the club. So, much so that he has caught the attention of the club chairman Tim Sukazi who has hailed the player.

He joined as a free agent in the January transfer window, after his contract with Maritzburg United was terminated with mutual consent. He had joined the club from relegated Black Leopards.

Since joining, he has proved instrumental for Sead Ramovic. He scored a memorable winner against Orlando Pirates in the DSTV Premiership last season at the Mbombela Stadium.

This season, he scored the winner away to champions Mamelodi Sundowns to seal a shock victory.

“It simply says our values or family ethos are not guided by rumour,” Sukazi told the TS Galaxy media department. 

“We believe in what we see and what we see is what we can only see before us. Lifa Hlongwane was said to be this and that and another way than another.

“Within our club, he hasn’t been absent once. We haven’t seen any of those things.

“Instead, we’ve seen this amazing player. Had we’ve been rumour mongers, probably Lifa Hlongwane would have been lost to football.

“His presence benefits the game as it benefits our club. I think, it was a master stroke move.

“It was quite thoughtful of us to take it on that manner. Look at Lifa now.

“Look at how he plays. Had we been those rumour mongers and take decisions on what we read on papers, he would have been lost to the system,

“I’m glad that we took that decision and supported him. He has done well.

“He started all our last 13 games and scored against Orlando Pirates last season. He has scored against Mamelodi Sundowns.

“He has got this big match temperament. We need a player like that.

“We are quite happy. We are happy that we decided on his favour on this regard.”
