Bahlabane Ba Ntwa are currently in 15th place on the league standings with 21 points from 26 matches.

They are one point better off than bottom side Orbit College and one point adrift of Magesi in 14th place.

In their last four games of the 2025/26 campaign, Gallants face TS Galaxy, Richards Bay, Polokwane City and Stellenbosch.

Mathiane says that despite their precarious position, the quality of his team means he feels they will stay up.

“I do have confidence in my players. There’s quality in our team. Compared to other teams, I feel like there’s quality,” said Mathiane on iDiski Times.

“There’s more quality in our team. We have players that are well-experienced. We have youngsters that are pushing.

“So, I’m quite happy with the team that we have. So, going forward, I know we’ll fight until the end. So I know we’ll get out of that position.”
