Kaizer Chiefs left-back Jimmy Jambo has made a quicker than expected recovery.
The Zimbabwean feared the worst when he hurt his knee in a collision with Tinashe Negomasha during a match against Bidvest Wits in October, with some reports suggesting he could miss a year.
But Jambo today started light jogging, as did George Lebese, who fractured his collarbone last month.

Bafana Bafana’s African Cup of Nations captain, Bongani Khumalo, has been dropped for the nation’s crucial World Cup qualifier against Central African Republic later this month.
The Siya crew recently revealed that the 26-year-old could face the chop after dropping out of the first team of his Greek club, PAOK, and it has now been confirmed that our predictions had been correct.
Khumalo has been left out of the side to face CAR, with Kaizer Chiefs defender, Morgan Gould, coming in to replace the former SuperSport United man. With regards to the captaincy, goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune is expected to lead the nation for the qualifier.
Khumalo has started only one game for PAOK since returning from the Afcon recently, and it seems as though his place at the club is heavily under threat.
Bafana take on CAR at Cape Town Stadium on March 23.

It seems like 2013 is “Go big or go Home” for local hip hop group Tsedikgolo.
They are back with a BANG and are reclaiming their spot as one of the biggest hip hop groups in and around Taung.
So far so good as their music video is making waves on youtube.
The group’s clothing-line “Tsedikgolo Clothing” and the upcoming mixtape,Tsedikgolo got it all figured out.
Last year has been a quite year for Tsedikgolo and one might have thought that they dissapeared in a thin air like most of the wannabe did.
Tsedikgolo rose and proved that they are a force to be reckon.
“Last year it was a quite year for us and we decided to release our mixtape this year as there were some other issues to sort out” said producer and rapper of the group Lyncon.
“This year we are back with a bang and having our arsenals ready we are reclaiming our rightful possession, so to all our supporters and followers be kept captivated” he smiles.
Early this year Tsedikgolo got their fans by suprise when they shared youtube link on social networks.
“That music video was shot in Pudumoe, near Taung.The reason for that is we felt like we were slowly fading away and abdicating our throne” he said.
Earlier this year Kasimp3 a popular music download site for upcoming artists was going through difficulties which resulted in being temporarily shutting down.
Tsedikgolo had a big plan under their sleeves.
They uploaded their music on Zonkewap,an international mobile download site which has tracks of all musicians you can think of.
“We had to come up with a plan on how our fans are going to access our music.We sat down with the management and came up with a plan” he elaborated.
“We are currently manufacturing our clothing label, we are busy in studio working on our second mixtape and branding our record label “Cash Flow Record” said renowned producer.
Lyncon said there is still more to come from them this year.
“Videos, tracks and events. We’d like to thank our super fans for believing in us and downloaded our music” he concludes.

The North West Department of Sport, Arts and Culture joined forces with the South African Sport Confederation and Olympic Committee (SASCOC) over the weekend to help chart a path for sport in the Province and enhance co-operation in areas of mutual interest.
“The event on March 10 was part of SASCOC’s visit to Provinces around the country” Vusi Kama said.
” The leg of their roadshow at Mmabana Arts, Culture and Sport Foundation in Mahikeng also served to mark 500 days to the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games in Scotland” Tebogo Modise said. Young artists from Mmabana entertained attendees, who included the MEC for Sport, Arts and Culture, Mme Tebogo Modise and SASCOC President Gideon Sam. The essence of the engagement with sport stakeholders and the Department was to discuss the Confederation’s programmes such as Operation Excellence, Academies, Funding and Coaches Framework as well as exploring ways to enhance synergies between the Confederation’s and the Provincial Department’s programmes.
Presentations on the day included the Province’s role in the 2014 Commonwealth Games, 2015 All Africa Games and the 2016 Rio Olympics.
“As a Province, we are very excited about the SASCOC initiative,” said Ms Modise.
“As I have indicated before, our Province wants to be part of the success story of South Africa at an international levels. Engagements such as the ones we have had with the Confederation open up avenues so that we can all work towards a common goal. We are ready, willing and able to work with Mr Sam and his team” Modise concludes.
Mr Sam shared the same sentiment. “We explained that the Road to Rio campaign has already started in earnest, and we need help from all provinces to gain maximum benefit”. There will be national camps, and international camps to help our athletes.
The meetings are part of SASCOC’s plan to engage all of the country’s provinces in a bid to come up with ideas and programmes to improve the country’s sporting structures and performances going forward.
“This follows an extremely successful performance by Team South Africa at last year’s Olympics and Paralympics in London where the country returned with six medals from the Olympics and 29 medals from the Paralympics”
Modise adds.
