SIWELELE coach Lehlohonolo Seema and side to face a test of character as league action resumes. Siwelele’s season now enters a phase that will define not only their league position, but their psychological resilience. Sitting 11th on the Betway Premiership standings, five points clear of the relegation zone, and with the second round set to resume on January 20, the club occupy a space that can either become a platform for stability or a gateway to renewed anxiety.
On paper, that buffer suggests breathing room. In reality, it is a fragile margin.The opening stretch of the campaign was unforgiving. Siwelele lost six of their first eight matches, a run that dragged them into uncomfortable territory and raised early questions about direction, balance and belief.
Confidence drained quickly, leaving a squad reacting to results rather than shaping them. To his credit, coach Lehlohonolo Seema has since steadied the ship.
