Sekhukhune United assistant coach MacDonald Makhubedu has provided some clarity on why coach Peter Hyballa is not on the bench against Cape Town City.
The German tactician was appointed head coach last month, replacing Lehlohonolo Seema whose contract was not renewed at the end of last season.

There were reports in local media claiming that Sekhukhune were considering parting ways with the coach before the season began.
Makhubedu took charge of the team for Saturday's MTN8 quarter-final against Cape Town City at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium.
However, the assistant coach revealed Hyballa is just waiting for his papers.
"Yes, he is at the top. I think it's just a matter of work permit, so he is still here," the coach told SuperSport before the game.
