| Only one of Swallows, Majantja or Van Rooyen will make it to the Vodacom Premier League... |
The three-way A-Division South Stream
promotion race will go down to Saturday’s final day of the season. As things stand, Majantja, Swallows and Van Rooyen United can all be promoted to the Vodacom
Premier League. Majantja are in pole position because they are on top of the
table but any slip-up would see Swallows or Van Rooyen reach the promised land
of the Vodacom Premiership.
Sefotha-fotha have already booked their
tickets to the elite league after winning the North Stream.
Majantja are the favourites to join
them. They will be at home against a Mangau side that hasn’t had a good season
and has little to play for on the final day. Mangau are seventh in the 10-team division
with only five wins from their 17 games and eight losses.
Nevertheless, a Majantja win is not a
foregone conclusion. The Mohale’s Hoek side have drawn nearly half (eight) of
their 17 games this season. Only Manonyane with nine draws have played to more
stalemates.
Manonyane are the team Swallows will be
hosting in what set to be a lively and expectant Mazenod. If Swallows beat
Manonyane and Majantja drop points against Mangau then Maswai-swai will be promoted to the Vodacom Premier League because
they have a far superior goal difference to third-placed Van Rooyen.
Van Rooyen would appear to have the
greatest odds to make it up to the top-flight. Not only do they go into the
weekend third behind Majantja and Swallows, they face a Fisters side that will
be fighting for their lives. Fisters are second from bottom, one point ahead of
basement dwellers Melele, and they need a win to ensure their survival. Mafeteng’s
Van Rooyen also have to travel away to Quthing to face Fisters.
