FORMER Highlanders FC defender Milton Ncube will not be available for his Absa Premiership team Ajax Cape Town’s clash with Free State Stars at Cape Town Stadium tonight. Ncube who was away recently on a honeymoon after getting married last month was given time off by his coach Roger de Sa.The versatile player is already training with the squad and his coach believes he will be part of the team in a week’s time when they take on Mpumalanga Black Aces at Mbombela Stadium in Mpumalanga.

Ncube who was signed from Bulawayo giants, Big X1 of Luveve during the pre-season will definitely add value and depth to the team.
De Sa said: “Ncube is one of the key players in the team and we hope his presence will stabilise the team’s shaky defence. He is a top class player and the good thing about him is that he can play in various positions. He received his work permit and we did give him a break to enjoy his honeymoon. Already he has shown us his worth.”
