Amakhosi rivals, particularly Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns, have taken advantage of the short transfer window. But the Glamour Boys have not yet brought on board anyone, and there is a likelihood the technical bench will work with the players already available. Given that they are challenging on both domestic and continental fronts, Chiefs' coaches can only hope each and every player will play their part as required in order to achieve their season's ambitions.

The Tshwane giants bounced back to winning ways and reclaimed Premier Soccer League top spot right on their return from the 2025 AFCON break with a result stating their intentions in their bid for a ninth straight title. Their Portuguese coach started what looked like a second-string side before throwing in familiar names in the second half. But they still managed to see off the challenge of their visitors from Limpopo.

After failing to collect maximum points in their last two games before the Premier Soccer League took a break in December, Amakhosi resume the campaign with some pressure on their shoulders. On paper, their game against Chippa United was expected to be an easy one given the Chilli Boys' poor form this season; however, the Soweto giants were forced to share points after a goalless draw. The Glamour Boys dropped more points when they were held to another goalless draw by TS Galaxy.

The Soweto giants have been enduring contrasting fortunes this season, with Amakhosi part of the chasing pack in the Premier Soccer League title race. They are trailing their traditional rivals, who are touted as one of the favourites to be crowned PSL champions. A defender with first-hand experience playing for both teams has explained the gap between the two clubs, pointing to key differences.

The 29-year-old started the season in a promising manner and was being touted as a deserving player to be selected for Bafana Bafana duty, but fizzled out and was being frozen out by Buccaneers coach Abdeslam Ouaddou. That sparked transfer rumours and the forward has now moved to the Cape Winelands where he will try to pick up form and end the season on a high.

The former Bafana Bafana star becomes the latest South African talent to cross the border in search of more footballing opportunities. The club has highlighted the importance of the appointment, and they hope the former Mzansi will help them achieve their ambitions. After his career was cut short by a serious injury, it is a chance for him to test himself in a different capacity within the soccer world.

The 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) concluded in Morocco on Sunday with Senegal's Lions of Teranga winning it in extra time over favourites the Atlas Lions. There have been huge comparisons made between Masandawana's 'Sailor' and the PSG star.

The 26-year-old has not been able to settle as anticipated in the last couple of months despite his massive quality and versatile experience. However, he has not yet secured a move to another team after his recent return from abroad, where he was plying his trade with the Portuguese Primeira Liga outfit AVS.
