Makateng impressive first season in the Vodacom Premier League saw him have a clean sweep at the end of the season awards taking home four major accolades.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Makateng is still searching for his first goal since he moved to Richards Bay in the DSTV Premiership.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
“Indeed, its very inspiring to see Sera doing well at his club and it gives me hope that i will get my opportunity to break the duck since moving to the DSTV Premiership,” Makateng stated.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
“Its never easy when a player moves to a new league having to adapt and everything, but i have comeback from the Christmas break recharged.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
“I’m confident that my fortunes will change once i get the opporrunity to play. i have no doubt that once i scored by first goal, then more will follow.”<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
