The post featured club stars such as Jaedin Rhodes, Taahir Goedeman, Thabo Nodada, Darren Keet and others enjoying leisure activities away from the pitch.
With the Citizens currently sitting 13th on the Betway Premiership table, having managed just one win in their opening five matches, the timing of this break may prove crucial.
After suffering two draws and two defeats in the beginning stage of the season, the need for rest and recovery, both physical and mental, could be paramount as the team seeks to reignite their campaign.
They did so by taking the training away from their usual grounds to a beautiful beach in Cape Town.
Check out how they spent their downtime here:
Professional footballers operate under immense pressure, and a mid-season pause offers an opportunity to recharge.

By stepping away from the rigours of training and matches, players can regain their focus and approach the rest of the season with renewed energy.
