The honeymoon period between Orlando Pirates boss Hendrik Dawids and coach Shepherd Murape seems to be over and the two seem to be on their way after a fallout with members of the club.

Apparently there was a coup attempt by some supporters of the club who tried to get rid of the existing executive committee, while former team manager Mabos Ortman had a fallout with Dawids regarding the running of the Orlando Pirates Sports Bar in Katutura.

Following a long delay over financial issues, the Northern Stream First Division finally kicked off at the weekend with only two victories registered from a total of six matches.

In the much-anticipated match of the weekend, Chief Santos and local rivals Benfica played to a goalless draw.

Easterns beat Namibia by eight runs in a thrilling SAA Cup one day limited overs match in Benoni on Sunday, November 18.

Easterns batted first and scored 252 for six wickets off their 45 overs.
Their top batsmen were K Lhengeni with 59, D Wiese with 57 and J Booysen with 50.
