Where is Olisa Ndah? Gavin Hunt explains why ex-Orlando Pirates defender hasn’t made Stellies’ debut

Since leaving Orlando Pirates for Stellenbosch a month ago, Nigeria international Olisa Ndah has not made his debut.

The 28-year-old towering centre-back was expected to hit the ground running for Gavin Hunt’s men, but he has just been reduced to a mere fan, supporting and cheering his teammates from the stands.

Former Kaizer Chiefs coach Gavin Hunt is unhappy that his new signing can’t play owing to the failure to get his work permit. In the match against TS Galaxy, Mosa Lebusa and Thabo Moloisane looked uncomfortable, explaining why Ndah’s availability could lessen Hunt’s worries.

Hunt insists Ndah’s work permit shouldn’t take time since it was just a change of an employee.

Hunt explains Olisa Ndah’s frustration

“I’d love to get Ndah, but some people get a work permit done much quicker than others,” Hunt opened up in a presser.

“I mean, it’s just a change of employee, so it should be something quick. It’s a problem because I want to compare, but if you compare big leagues around the world, if a foreign player, the work permit gets done through a certain person for all the clubs, in my opinion.

“So, I think that should happen, but it’s never happened like that. So, it’s a bit disappointing because he’s been here close to a month, and he should have played by now,” he concluded.

On Wednesday, Stellenbosch will be in Durban to play Golden Arrows in the Premier Soccer League outin that will kick-off at 19.30 hours.
