A schoolboy in uniform, a dusty yard, a ball at the back of his leg. The clip is trending. It is clear yet where it was filmed. Zipho Dlangalala says you don’t need to know all that. This, he argues, is South African football typified in one clip. The boy
Sandile Zungu has accepted defeat in the SAFA presidential election — and he has done it without bitterness. On Saturday, voting delegates kept Danny Jordaan in office. Jordaan took 157 votes. Zungu managed 82. That gap ended the contest and handed Jordaan another term as leader of South African football.
Abdeslam Ouaddou won 3-1 in CAF Champions League qualifying. He still walked off angry. Orlando Pirates should have buried La Cure Waves.

Miguel Cardoso did not hide his anger after Mamelodi Sundowns were forced to settle for a 1-1 draw Betway Premiership with Chippa United at Buffalo City Stadium on Saturday evening. Antonio van Wyk scored with the last kick of the game, but the Sundowns coach spent his post-match comments on

Another moment of sloppy goalkeeping undid Kaizer Chiefs in Polokwane on Saturday afternoon. Lebohang Maboe had given Amakhosi the lead they wanted. In the 29th minute Pule Mmodi slipped him in and Maboe finished with the calm of a man who has been Chiefs’ midfield metronome all year. Four passes,
Orlando Pirates have confirmed why Mpho Padime and Sebastian Pedersen will miss Saturday’s CAF Champions League second leg against La Cure Waves at Orlando Amstel Arena. The Buccaneers host the Mauritian champions at 3pm today with the tie locked at 0-0 after last weekend’s stalemate in Port Louis. Captain Nkosinathi
Kaizer Chiefs coach Fernando Da Cruz has shaken up the side that edged Siwelele FC 3-2 last weekend — and striker Wandile Duba has been left out of the matchday squad. Amakhosi escaped with all three points, but Da Cruz was far from impressed with the performance. For Saturday’s trip
Four regional associations have allegedly been barred from Saturday’s South African Football Association elective congress, slashing the regional voting bloc from 52 to 48 as incumbent president Danny Jordaan faces businessman Sandile Zungu for control of the country’s football body. The excluded regions are Amajuba and Harry Gwala in KwaZulu-Natal,
