Fortune Makaringe is enjoying his time at Cape Town City, particularly after reuniting with former coach Eric Tinkler.
The 31-year-old, who previously played for Orlando Pirates, has a history with Tinkler from their days at Maritzburg United.
Makaringe spent a significant portion of his career at the Team of Choice (now Durban City), while Tinkler also had a stint there. Since joining Cape Town City this season, Makaringe has already made six appearances across all competitions.
The midfielder emphasized the strong bond he shares with Tinkler and expressed his smooth integration into the Betway Premiership club.
During an interview with FARPost: “It was more than a reunion because he had faith in me even after leaving a bigger team, even as I was not getting game time.
“He was quick to say come and play for us. And because we had worked together before, it has been easy to fit in.
“But it was more than a reunion because the team leadership made me feel comfortable. They made my family feel welcome because these transitions are sometimes challenging.
“In fact, this has been my best welcome by a club so far. The transition has been smooth, and it’s like I was always here.
“Coach Eric knows me very well; he brought me to Cape Town City. He knows I can play in any position he wants except goalkeeper.”
