When Zebras' deadly marksman Diphetogo 'Dipsy' Selolwane dumped his South African Premier League side, Jomo Cosmos in January and headed for Ajax Cape Town, many football supporters were shocked as he had joined Cosmos only in August last year.

Though he spent six months without playing, whilst waiting for his residence/work permit from the South African Home Affairs ministry, by the time of his move to Ajax, Selolwane had started playing for Cosmos where it is understood he impressed coach/owner Jomo Sono.

But yesterday Selolwane told Mmegi Sport that his move to the Mother City was a step in the right direction. "I cannot talk about Cosmos because it is water under the bridge. I stayed six months without playing and I believe that joining Ajax is a good move for my career," he said. Selolwane told Mmegi Sport that when Ajax approached him, he did not hesitate to take the offer. The former Gaborone United hitman has signed for the Cape Town club until 2010. Selolwane made his long-awaited debut for Ajax last night when they hosted Bloemfontein Celtic at the Athlone Stadium. It is understood that Selolwane has been hired by the Capetonians to replace top striker Thembinkosi Fanteni, who has joined Israeli club, Maccabi Haifa. "Everybody here is excited about my arrival. Most of them know my qualities because I have faced them in the Cape Town derby during my days at Santos," Selolwane said. He further pointed out that he has set big goals for him at his new club. He asserted that he wants to help Ajax win the league this season.
