Babina Noko has been on a remarkable signing spree this transfer window as they prepare for what looks to be their busiest season since promotion to the top flight.
Following a successful season in 2022/23, in which they reached the Nedbank Cup final and qualified for the CAF Confederations Cup, the Limpopo-based club is now set to compete in a number of prestigious competitions. Sekhukhune will compete in the MTN8, Nedbank Cup, Carling Black Label Knockout, and CAF Confederations Cup in addition to the DStv Premiership.
