History


The original club was founded in 1937 by dairy workers. The club folded after finishing 14th in the National First Division inland stream in 2002.[1] The club had also been known as Ukhumba Black Aces, Witbank Black Aces and Super Kurl Aces during its existence.


The current club is the second incarnation and they entered the South African football league in 2007 when the Polokwane-based City Pillars league license was bought and the team was transferred to Witbank from Limpopo.[2] The licensed was acquired in December 2006 and the team was playing under the name of Mpumalanga Black Aces in time for the 2007–08 season.[3]


In 2004, two South African businessmen George Morfou and his brother Mario bought the club side Dangerous Darkies, a Vodacom League but the team failed to win promotion to the Mvela Golden League.
The Vodacom League team was renamed to Aces Academy in 2007 following the brothers' acquisition and in 2011 was renamed to AmaZayoni FC.


On July 30, 2014, it was announced that Aces had signed a new sponsorship deal with ISPS.[4]


In 2016, John Comitis purchased the franchise rights, closing the club and creating Cape Town City F.C., over 950 miles away.

Mononymous person

Image
Plato, the Greek philosopher, is universally known by a single name. A mononymous person is an individual who is known and addressed by a single name, or mononym. [a] [b] In some cases, that name has been selected by the individual, who may have originally been given a polynym ("multiple name"). In other cases, it has been determined by the custom of the country [c] or by some interested segment. In the case of historical figures, it may be the only one of the individual's names that has survived and is still known today.
