Former Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Bran Baloyi has warned coach Fernando Da Cruz that Brandon Petersen’s slump is becoming a problem the club cannot ignore. Petersen has made a string of costly errors since the season started. The latest came on Saturday against Polokwane City, when the ball struck him and
Ronwen Williams can already see Paris Saint-Germain on the horizon. But first, Mamelodi Sundowns have to survive Saturday. The Sundowns captain says the FIFA Intercontinental Cup final against the European champions is the “ultimate goal.” The problem is the path: two knockout rounds, starting with Asian champions Al-Ahli at Loftus
Phuti Mohafe says Marumo Gallants dumped him without warning — and he still can’t square the timing. The 52-year-old arrived in June after three strong seasons at Polokwane City. Five Betway Premiership games later he was out, along with assistant Musa Bilankulu. Two draws. Three losses. Gallants stuck in the
Rangers defender Olwethu Makhanya says Hugo Broos never really backed him — and he’s treating Pitso Mosimane’s arrival as a clean slate. The 22-year-old has settled quickly in Glasgow after a reported R87-million move from Philadelphia Union. Broos spent years knocking the MLS, then still picked Makhanya for the World
Kaizer Chiefs look finished in the market. Fernando Da Cruz says they are not. Amakhosi have already added Thabo Moloisane, Langelihle Phili, Renaldo Leaner and Adolf Mtasingwa Bitegeko. Faiz Abrahams arrived on loan from Stellenbosch. Khanyisa Mayo’s loan became a permanent deal. That should be enough. The window slams shut
Marcelo Allende says last season’s Betway Premiership title loss still stings — and that pain is now fuel for Mamelodi Sundowns. Orlando Pirates ended the Brazilians’ eight-year stranglehold on the league title, lifting the trophy for the first time since 2012. Sundowns were more focused on their continental ambitions, and
Gavin Hunt is done waiting. Stellenbosch FC’s new signings are still under wraps, but the coach has already named the three foreigners he wants unleashed in the Betway Premiership soon. Ghanaian goalkeeper Solomon Agbasi is cleared. The hold-up is work permits for Nigerians Arigo Obus Godspower and Lateef Kazeem Adeyanju.
Kaizer Chiefs dropped two more points in Polokwane — and this time Fernando da Cruz did not hide his frustration with captain Brandon Petersen. Amakhosi led through Lebohang Maboe at Old Peter Mokaba Stadium, then watched a Giovanni Philander corner sneak in at the near pos to level the scoreline.
Fernando da Cruz has an explanation for Adolf Mtasingwa’s quiet start at Kaizer Chiefs. It is not a lack of trust. It is time. The 27-year-old midfielder arrived from Tanzania’s Azam FC in late July, days before the league kicked off. Pre-season was already rolling. The system was already set.
Abdeslam Ouaddou has a problem at Orlando Pirates, and he is not hiding it. While he has a big squad, there is one position that is giving him sleepless nights. That is the right back position. Kamogelo Sebelebele is now the only specialist in that position. Thabiso Lebitso, Bandile Shandu
