Zulu commentary for SS Soccer Matches

As SuperSport’s viewership of local soccer increases, a decision has been taken to add value to the live broadcasts of Castle Premiership matches by adding Zulu commentary.

SuperSport have, since last season, had regular, exclusive live broadcasts of midweek Castle Premiership matches and viewership figures have shown a steady growth, particularly among township subscribers.

As usual, those broadcasts will continue this season, with an added bonus for Zulu-speaking viewers.

Popular SuperSport presenter Phumlani Msibi, who is one of the hosts of the popular Super Saturday show and a regular face on boxing and soccer broadcasts, will be joined by former professional player and coach, Professor Ngubane, in delivering Zulu commentary on SuperSport’s future live Wednesday matches.

Ngubane has plenty of experience in local soccer circles, having played for Durban Bush Bucks and AmaZulu before having coaching stints at Umtata Bush Bucks, AmaZulu, Lamontville Golden Arrows and Maritzburg United.

In order to access Zulu commentary, viewers simply need to use their remote control to switch from audio 1 (English) to audio 2.
