Premier Soccer League Kaizer Chiefs
Motaungs told to keep Kaze & Ben Youssef for new Chiefs coach - 'It can work'
The futures of the two tacticians remain a matter of speculation, especially with Amakhosi struggling. After failing to defend the Nedbank Cup and getting eliminated from the Carling Knockout and the CAF Confederation Cup, the coach's future hangs in the balance. Already, some big names have been linked with the Soweto giants, and only time will tell if any will be appointed in the end.

It's now! Ex-Pirates coach tips Sundowns to lift CAF CL after Al Ahly elimination
Despite inconsistent performance, the Tshwane giants have progressed to the last eight of the inter-club competition.

Khumalo praises Sundowns star after Bafana return - 'One of the best players'
The Masandawana star is shining again and returned to the national setup after one year in the cold. Hugo Broos kept snubbing the midfielder after a fallout when the star was called up but turned up late for national team duties. Should he continue with his current form, then his chances of playing in the World Cup are high.

Does Mofokeng deserve to be the PSL Footballer of the Season? Ex-Pirates star responds
Debate is already raging about who will succeed Lucas Ribeiro Costa as the Premier Soccer League’s best player. With the 2025/26 season approaching its conclusion, the league’s top performers are beginning to separate themselves from the rest of the pack. Their decisive contributions in the final stretch could ultimately determine who claims the honour.

Chiefs urged to sign Ribeiro as he 'could serve as a key figure similar to Mofokeng's role at Pirates'
The Brazilian attacker left Mamelodi Sundowns unceremoniously to pursue a move to Spain. However, his stay in Leonesa could prove short-lived as his current club faces the real threat of relegation to the third tier. With the season nearing its end, he may soon be forced to consider another move in search of top-flight football.

Best in Africa! Williams and Bafana keepers praised but told what to improve on ahead of WC finals
Hugo Broos has always trusted the Masandawana keeper as his first choice even when he has other viable options. Going into the global showpiece, the Belgian is not expected to tinker with his goalkeeping department. However, those he will pick to deputise the Downs skipper is expected to be a hot topic in the debates.

Broos not resting Sundowns players against Panama because 'they have 35 players to rotate'
Mamelodi Sundowns have reclaimed their dominance in the South African national team by contributing eight players to the national team. Orlando Pirates, who had recently enjoyed strong representation, now have six players in the squad. Both clubs are well represented, as South Africa are participating in international friendly matches against Panama.

Brave decision! Broos praised for dropping Pirates' Chaine
When the Belgian omitted the Bucs star ahead of the Panama friendlies, the move raised eyebrows. Chaine has been Bafana's second-choice keeper, but his place in the national team is now debatable. Broos's decision was shocking, as it came at a time when the goalkeeper was doing relatively well at club level.
