Siwelele head coach Lehlohonolo Seema has explained why two of their strikers Samir Nurkovic and Chibuike Ohizu aren’t available for selection.
Nurkovic joined Siwelele as part of the deal that saw the club acquire SuperSport United’s top-flight status in the PSL.

Meanwhile, Ohizu was unveiled by the club last week, joining the club on a season-long loan from Sekhukhune United.
He was not part of the team that lost 2-0 to Durban City on Tuesday evening at the Chatsworth Stadium while Nurkovic has also not featured for Siwelele since the season started.
With goals hard to come by recently, Seema says they desperately need the two strikers to be available for selection, but they can’t until their work permits are approved.
“Obviously, we are not scoring goals, we are waiting for two strikers that we are awaiting for their papers, Samir and Ohizu,” said Seema.
“Hopefully, they will get them, and we will see. Other than that, I think we will be fine, it’s not like we are that far.”
Meanwhile, despite losing four and drawing one of the last five league games, Seema insists he won’t hit panic buttons as of yet, hoping to turn the corner.
“We are not panicking; we are a work in progress. Football is a process,” added Seema.
“And I can tell you that if you see this team playing, non of the games that we lost the team was playing out of the park.
“It will come right, we need to make sure that mentally, we work with them. We will work to get it right.”
