Former Moroka Swallows star Timothy "RDP" Nkosi has made a series of bold predictions for the 2026/2027 Premier Soccer League season, tipping the Brazilians to reclaim their throne. The retired midfielder believes the early stages of the campaign will be decisive in determining whether the trophy returns to Chloorkop or stays with rivals Buccaneers.

The judging panel had their work cut out for them as every category was fiercely contested but in the end the winners' qualities shone through and the awards were decided with a mix of familiar and unexpected faces amongst the winners.

The Masandawana mentor has moved to clear the air after a factual error during a recent press engagement landed him in an awkward position. The Portuguese tactician came under scrutiny after incorrectly suggesting that the Sea Robbers had suffered a defeat at the hands of Milford FC, despite the Buccaneers securing victory in the encounter. He acknowledged the mistake and took responsibility for the confusion, offering an apology to the Soweto giants for the inaccurate remark.

The Tunisian coach guided his side to an important continental victory, with City taking the upper hand after the visitors conceded an own goal. The result puts the KwaZulu-Natal team in a strong position to progress to the second preliminary round, with the side now looking to complete the job and seal their passage when they return to action next weekend.
