Some of these carry history and responsibility. Blom and Potsane’s exits mean jersey numbers 6 and 11 are available.
Number six belonged to the club’s legendary central midfielder Reneilwe Letsholonyane, while number 11 is synonymous with legends like Nelson Dladla, Jabu Pule, Emmanuel Ngobese and Knowledge Musona.
In the meantime, Amakhosi will kick off the new season away to Stellenbosch FC on Sunday, 10 August at the Athlone Stadium.
