Premier Thamsanqa Ntuli has hailed Durban City Football Club for making sporting history after clinching the 2026 Nedbank Cup title, ending a 17-year wait for a KwaZulu-Natal team to lift the trophy.
Speaking during a gala dinner held last weekend alongside KwaZulu-Natal MEC for Sports, Arts and Culture Mntomuhle Khawula and other dignitaries, Ntuli described the club’s achievement as a proud moment for the province.
The premier said Durban City FC’s victory over TS Galaxy in last week’s final marked a defining moment not only for the club but for KwaZulu-Natal as a whole.
