Stuart Baxter insisted, speaking to kaizerchiefs.com, that Orlando Pirates is not on the agenda as the Glamour Boys gear themselves up for a tough battle away in the Mother City, Cape Town, against Chippa United on Wednesday, 06 March 2013. 

Kick-off for the Absa Premiership clash is at 19h30 at Athlone Stadium. 

The Phefeni Glamour Boys have a tricky week ahead with a trip to Cape Town and on Saturday, 09 March they will host rivals Orlando Pirates in a mouth-watering top of the table clash. 

Preparations for this game have been all about recuperation. We are missing quite a number players due to injuries and suspensions but we are going there to fight for three points, said Head Coach Stuart Baxter speaking to kaizerchiefs.com on Monday evening. 

The Briton who has been credited as a catalyst for the consistency the Club has shown in the league this season believes that Chippa United will be a different side to the side that came through and left the FNB Stadium empty handed back in September last year. 

They have made quite a number of changes to their squad, new players, new coach and their approach to games has also changed. They will be totally a different and tricky playing in front of their fans. We have to be at our best. 

Baxter revealed his players are only focused on Chippa, The focus is on Chippa United. Our next game is against Chippa United. 

Chippa will get the attention they deserve. We are professionals it is expected that we show professionalism in our approach to each and every game we play. 

We are coming back from a game against Bidvest Wits where we dropped points which makes our next game against Chippa even more important than any other game this season, added Baxter.

Trouble seems to follow social development MEC Mosetsanagape Mokomele-Mothibi after she apparently failed to meet her own deadline to return R174000 of state money used on a private trip.

Mokomele-Mothibi was arraigned before the provincial select committee on public accounts (Scopa) on February 19, where she conceded to have used the money and apologised.

She set out to return the money over a seven working days period. This lapsed on Thursday. In a media statement the MEC refuted wrong-doing.

Mokomele-Mothibi is quoted saying: “Nothing could be further from the truth as I only accepted political responsibility for the actions of my department’s officials – that of including themselves in my travel bookings without my knowledge and approval.”

She added: “I am committed to good governance, clean administration and accountability. Hence, when confronted with the allegations, I accepted responsibility as the head of the department and apologised. While I ensured implicated officials reimbursed the state, I (also) instructed that disciplinary action be taken against all of them.”

She also reversed her submission before Scopa that her friend, Mavis Kgosing, had benefited from trip.
