Despite signing Letsie Koapeng and Manti Mekoa, Platinum Stars coach Roger De Sa says they are not yet done in the transfer window.

De Sa revealed that he wants to sign three to four players to bolster his squad as they want to reach the top eight.

The duo was part of the Dikwena squad as they registered their first South African Absa Premiership loss in 2018 at the hands of Cape Town City on Saturday night.

“We have got the transfer window. We have got to be pretty active now. We are probably going to bring in three to four players that are going to add to the team,” said De Sa.

“We continue to work on the football field and plan ahead. Hopefully by mid-month, we will be sorted and we will have our squad ready for the next five months.”

The former Ajax Cape Town and Orlando Pirates coach rued their loss, saying they made silly errors at the back.

“Once again we let it slip and I thought we were good enough to get a point maybe. I thought they got stronger and stronger as the game went on,” he added.

“We made silly errors, basic defensive errors. The difference is that they had three chances we had one or two but they took their chances and we didn’t.

“That’s where the difference was. You want to be clinical and you have got to tighten at the back. We made one mistake at the back and we were punished for it. We have got to get back and work again.”
