Some shocking revelations pertaining to head coach Dan Malesela have come out of the Marumo Gallants camp, who, as KickOff has been led to believe, is skating on thin ice ahead of the clash against Mamelodi Sundowns.
Gallants are one of only two teams to lose their first two Betway Premiership matches, following defeats to Kaizer Chiefs (2-1) and Golden Arrows (2-0).

Although Malesela suggested after the loss to Arrows that the results have not been a true reflection of how his team plays, this website has gathered that a third defeat in a row, ahead of the encounter against Sundowns on Tuesday, could tip over tensions at the club.
Since the joining together of Moroka Swallows and Gallants, there are believed to have been divisions in camp and the appointment of Malesela has not simmered the tensions, according to a reliable source close to the Bloemfontein outfit.
The ex-Baroka FC head coach has been criticized for playing players who were deemed surplus to requirements at other clubs, such as Joseph Molangoane, Gabadinho Mhango, Xola Mlambo and Kamohelo Mahlatsi, whilst overlooking players inherited from the Birds and Gallants, who were campaigning in the Motsepe Foundation Championship.
"It's not representative of how we play. If you are going to tell somebody who was not watching the match, you are going to say to them this is how it is and they won't believe you because they look at the score line," Malesela said in his post-match conference after the defeat to Arrows.
"They will say, the score line is 2-0 and you are saying we were dominating the match and we had more chances and all of that, people won't believe you because of the score line. Like I said, I don't know if we are waiting for these wake-up calls for us to be able to win matches."

KickOff has gathered that the alleged divisions at Gallants are not only among the players but also among the new management at the club, which also comprises the previous Bloemfontein Celtic supporters club, who currently are not in favour of Malesela.
In fact, this website has been reliably informed that the former Orlando Pirates captain is coaching without a contract at Siwelele Sa Marumo and could easily be replaced at any given time.
