South Africa’s U20 national team, Amajita, are riding high after their latest achievement — and they’re doing it with smiles, laughter, and unity.
Following their recent success under head coach Raymond Mdaka, the young South African side couldn’t hold back their excitement. In a light-hearted and spirited display, Amajita players celebrated in amusing fashion — breaking into song and dance, teasing one another, and embracing the moment with youthful energy.
A Joyful Camp After Victory
The team’s celebration came shortly after clinching an important win that highlighted their growing chemistry and development under Mdaka’s guidance. While the details of the match or tournament haven’t been formally disclosed, insiders say the victory is part of the team’s preparation for upcoming regional competitions and qualification campaigns.
Mdaka, a calm but passionate leader, has quickly won over the dressing room with his balanced approach — demanding excellence on the pitch while encouraging camaraderie off it. It’s this mix that appears to have sparked a strong spirit within the squad.
Building a New Generation of Stars
Many of the current Amajita players are regarded as future stars of South African football, with scouts from both PSL and European clubs reportedly monitoring several of them. The recent win and their chemistry both on and off the field are signs that the future might be brighter than many expected.
Speaking after the win, one player jokingly shouted, “Coach Raymond has us dancing now, not just playing!” — drawing laughter from teammates during a behind-the-scenes clip shared by SAFA.
Coach Mdaka’s Steady Hand
Coach Raymond Mdaka remains focused amid the celebrations.
“The boys are in good spirits, and that’s important. We are not just building footballers — we’re building character and unity. Winning is great, but how we carry ourselves during success matters just as much,” said Mdaka in a statement.
Eyes on the Future
With their morale high and performances improving, Amajita will now turn their attention to the next phase of their development. The team is expected to participate in upcoming regional youth tournaments and qualifiers, and the current momentum could prove vital.
