Cape Town - Chippa United have announced the recruitment of popular radio
personality Putco Mafani, who will take care of their marketing,
branding and communications.
The radio veteran has previously held a similar position at Kaizer Chiefs, where he was acclaimed for his role in growing the club's supporter base.
Chippa chairman Siviwe Mpengesi has backed Mafani to boost the side's effort in establishing themselves in the Eastern Cape region, following their relocation from Cape Town.
"Since the opening of the season that coincided with our move to the Eastern Cape, we have been mostly focusing on the club's on-field strength plus stability," Mpengesi said in a statement posted on the club's website.
"Now that we seem to have found our rhythm, the next best thing was to take our management and administration to another level.
