Of the last four teams standing in the CAF Champions League tournament, only TP Mazembe remained consistent on the domestic front following their quarterfinal triumph in Africa’s premier club competition. The other three semi-finalists have wobbled a little bit on the home front with Esperance settling for a 1-1 draw against Monastir on Monday, while their opponents, Mamelodi Sundowns, let slip a commanding 2-0 lead to draw 2-2 with Moroka Swallows. On the same day, Al Ahly lost 2-1 to traditional rivals Zamalek in the Cairo Derby. TP Mazembe, who tackle Al Ahly in Lubumbashi this weekend, beat Jeunesse Sportive de Kinshasa 3-0 in midweek and followed it up with a crucial 2-1 victory over rivals Vita Club on Sunday. Soccer Laduma’s Thomas Kwenaite speaks to former SAFA Coaching instructor, Sudesh Singh, former TP Mazembe striker, Given Singuluma and African Football journalist, Collins Okinyo, to break down the weekend’s semi-final clashes.
