SH E Yaqut Overview

Bahlabane Ba Ntwa have made a major coaching call in the Betway Premiership, announcing the immediate departure of their technical team. The club confirmed the exit of the former Polokwane City mentor after a disappointing spell on the touchline, with the poor run of results ultimately forcing the hierarchy into action.

The African champions have emerged as the frontrunners to secure the signature of highly-rated Colombian midfielder Josen Escobar. The Tshwane giants appear to be the only club willing to meet America de Cali's strict demands for a permanent transfer rather than a loan arrangement.

Less than 24 hours after the news broke that the Buccaneers were on the verge of securing a surprise new addition comes the announcement that the deal for the versatile 23-year-old Marumo Gallants midfielder was done, and Daniel Msendami and Abdoulaye Mariko were headed the other way.

Former Buccaneers mentor Augusto Palacios has thrown his weight behind the current head coach following criticism over his team selection in the CAF Champions League. The Sea Robbers played out a goalless draw against Mauritian side La Cure Waves, a result that sparked debate after several youngsters were handed starting roles in a high-stakes continental fixture.
