Haha... that happens to be my local newspaper.

This is a lower league setup (Conference equivalent). Nothing new in having South African teams named after those abroad. We have a Bloemfontein Celtic and an Ajax Cape Town as well.

Ajax Cape Town is the Feeder club to Ajax Amsterdam....Steven Pienaar and Benni Mac played for Ajax Cape Town,before they were transferred to Holland.
