The Venda-based club have won the promotional playoffs with one game to spare. They beat Ajax Cape Town 2-0 at the Rand Stadium. Leopards also won the playoffs two seasons ago under coach Dylan Kerr after also finishing 15th at the time.A goal from Isaac Masia in the 14th minute and Mwape Musonda’s strike in the 79th minute secured the victory for Leopards. They have an insurmountable lead of nine points.
Ajax have failed in their mission to return to the premier division and the club’s management will have to shoulder the blame for destabilising the team after coach Andries Ulderink was axed in dramatic fashion. A boardroom squabble led to the Dutchman quitting in protest of the suspension of development coach Hans Vonk.
