Usuthu have emerged as the surprise package of the 2026/27 Betway Premiership season, mounting a genuine challenge to the established order at the top of the table. Under the guidance of Arthur Zwane, the Durban-based side has transformed into a consistent force capable of upsetting the traditional power dynamics of South African football.
The Usuthu head coach has expressed his immense pride in the grit shown by his squad following a crucial victory in the KwaZulu-Natal derby. The Durban-based side secured their sixth consecutive league win to maintain pressure on the pacesetters at the top of the table.
The Glamour Boys' football manager has pointed to the disruptive nature of the extended international break and player injuries as the primary reason for the club's recent dip in form. Despite a promising start to the new campaign, the Soweto giants struggled to maintain their high intensity during a period plagued by fixture gaps and fitness concerns, leading to a frustrating run of results.
The Glamour Boys goalie has offered a staunch defence of the club head coach, insisting the squad remains fully committed to the Frenchman's vision. Despite growing unrest among the Amakhosi faithful following a string of disappointing results, the shot-stopper believes the tactical foundations being laid at Naturena will eventually yield success.
The Amakhosi coach is exuding a sense of calm and belief as he prepares to lead the club into his first-ever Soweto Derby this weekend. Despite a rocky start to his tenure at Naturena, the French tactician believes his side has found the necessary momentum to challenge their bitter rivals at a sold-out FNB Stadium.
The Citizens have made history by securing a place in the CAF Confederation Cup group stages for the first time in the club's existence. The South African outfit delivered a clinical performance away from home to brush aside their Mauritian opponents and confirm their status among the continent's elite.
