Check out the latest transfer news and rumours from Amakhosi, Buccaneers, Masandawana, the rest of the PSL teams and South African players and coaches plying their trade abroad.

Following the announcement of a move to an Iraq Stars League club, the South African football fraternity has expressed heartfelt messages for the fans' favourite, who was once expected to re-establish himself as one of the most talented and exciting players to watch. This came after he joined Orlando Pirates following a disappointing stint with Mamelodi Sundowns and a short loan spell at Sekhukhune United. However, his flair-filled return to prominence proved short-lived at the Soweto giants, where the 28-year-old struggled for consistent game time under Abdeslam Ouaddou.

Despite links to Siwelele and Kaizer Chiefs, the 28-year-old's agent insisted recently that the best option for the player nicknamed "Master Chef" was a fresh start away from the South African top flight. And so it has come to pass after an Iraq Stars League club has announced his signing.

The Soweto giants have signalled their intentions for the 2026/27 Premier Soccer League season by confirming a triple swoop for some of the country's most exciting talents. The Buccaneers are leaving no stone unturned in their quest for domestic and continental dominance, securing the services of Neo Rapoo, Aphiwe Baliti, and Matome Mmolai to bolster the squad.
