In a bid to end Simba's struggle, the experienced South African tactician has roped in figures he trusts will help him in the mission. After making his name with Stellenbosch, it is time to test himself in a different environment, which comes with pressure given the ambition of the Kariokor giants season in and season out.

The Premier Soccer League title winner left the top-flight side under unclear circumstances, and it looks like they have already secured his replacement. Under a former Amakhosi tactician, the club is pushing to finish in the top eight again, and to achieve that, they need a reliable midfield machine, which the incoming youngster promises to give.

Although he arrived at Chloorkop with the expectation that he would turn into a big star, that has yet to be realised, as he has been sent to clubs on loan deals since then. His R46 million signing continues to be a gamble that is yet to pay off, as he could be out again in January, as Masandawana look somewhat like a solidly working unit, especially the attacking department.

Check out the latest transfer news and rumours from Amakhosi, Buccaneers, Masandawana and the rest of the PSL teams. The 2025/26 winter transfer window came and went with all the PSL clubs reinforcing their squads. However, with the summer transfer window fast approaching, technical benches will be re-examining their squads and looking for the perfect player to plug a gap or drive them onto meeting their season ambitions.

The Glamour Boys and the Sea Robbers, just like the other Premier Soccer League teams, will have a month or so to strengthen their squads in their bid to achieve the set objectives in the ongoing 2025/26 campaign, both domestically and abroad. While Amakhosi continue rebuilding, the Buccaneers want to sustain their already impressive quality.

Mokwena's journey with the Algerian side has been impressive so far, and they are likely to lift more trophies in his maiden season. Judging by how the journey is going, the South African tactician could have a far more successful season after struggling with Moroccan giants Wydad Casablanca. This is the second time that the Premier Soccer League-winning tactician has been praised by an opponent who faced his team.

Both Teranga Lions and the Leopards concluded their preliminary duties with convincing victories as they set eyes on the knockout duties. Although they were reduced to ten men, Senegal thumped Benin, while DR Congo were too strong for Botswana, who finished the campaign sitting at the bottom of the group. Meanwhile, Tanzania advanced to the Round of 16 following its hard-fought positive result against Tunisia.

Following the surprising departure of Steve Barker from the Cape Winelands outfit to join Simba SC in Tanzania, Stellies were faced with the crucial task of making the perfect appointment—someone who aligns with the club’s culture and has the ability to deliver on its mandate.
