UWC head coach Thinasonke Mbuli warned against getting too carried away when his opposite number at Mamelodi Sundowns celebrated said “we’re back where we belong” a few weeks ago.
Jerry Tshabalala has just masterminded Sundowns’ 2-0 victory over UWC at Tuks Stadium that Saturday, and he couldn’t resist but make the bold statement.
The two teams swapped places with the Bushies dropping to second place on the log as a result.

Mbuli laughed and revealed to the Daily Voice that she had seen the clip and could tell by the ‘over the top’ celebrations after the game.
The target was to continue and keep up with the Brazilians and make sure they don’t extend their lead by more than the one point advantage they had.
UWC took full advantage of the window of opportunity handed to them when Sundowns were held to a 1-1 by Thunderbirds at the end of May.
They now sit comfortably in second place, just two points behind Sundowns and with a game in hand.
Mbuli says: “We don’t usually lose at home, so we must take care of the business come second round.”
