WILL it be second time luck for Dynamos striker Cuthbert Malajila as he undergoes a week-long trial period at South African Premiership side Maritzburg United?

The Pietermaritzburg side have renewed their interest in the seasoned forward and asked him to join them for trials immediately.

Malajila, who was in the Warriors squad that drew with Botswana in an international friendly on Saturday, left for South Africa yesterday from Gaborone.Maritzburg United first invited Malajila for an assessment in July 2010, but did not offer him a deal.Malajila then returned home to Dynamos before he was swooped on by Tunisian side Club Africain.

The Tunisians later loaned Malajila to Libyan club Al Akhdar, but the Zimbabwean striker fled the strife-torn North African country to rejoin Dynamos last year.Now the South Africans have made a fresh bid to assess Malajila.

Dynamos chairman Kenny Mubaiwa yesterday said he wished the player well in his bid to land a lucrative move."I understand the same side that once had him for trials - Maritzburg - want to get another look at him again.

"So I think he should be going to South Africa, straight from Botswana."We do not know what will become of the trials, but we await to be guided by the outcome. If they want him, then we will negotiate.

"It will be a great loss to us because we have registered him for the Champions League. However, this is an opportunity that has come and we will see how the trials will go," said Mubaiwa.

Malajila could be heading to Maritzburg as a possible cover for Nigerian winger Felix Obada who is said to have attracted the attention of Belgian and Scandinavian clubs.

Malajila's camp confirmed that the player was heading for Maritzburg United."He is going back to Maritzburg and if successful then, we will open negotiations with Dynamos," Malajila's manager, Gibson Mahachi, said.

Malajila was inspirational for Dynamos last season as they staged a dramatic comeback to win the Premiership title.

The Harare giants overturned a 12-point deficit to pip FC Platinum with Malajila assuming the captaincy in the last few games of the season.Under his leadership, Dynamos did not lose a match.

Another key player in Dynamos' squad, goalkeeper Washington Arubi is hoping to go for trials with clubs in Greece and Cyprus.

Striker Roderick Mutuma, who won the Castle Lager Premiership's Golden Boot, is being closely followed by Ajax Cape Town.

Mutuma and Malajila were the chief strikers for Dynamos as they lifted the league championship and Mbada Diamonds Cup.
