  1. Billiat reveals why he rejected Pirates

    The highly-rated winger has finally pulled back the curtain on one of the most pivotal moments of his career, revealing how he narrowly avoided a move to the Sea Robbers. The Zimbabwean magician remains one of the most decorated figures in South African football history, but his path to legendary status could have looked very different had he followed his former club's instructions.

  2. Stellenbosch 0-2 Pirates: 'Mbuthama experiment cost us the league'

    The Soweto giants locked horns with Stellies at the sold-out Athlone Stadium, desperate for three points to keep their title aspirations alive. The Ghosts are in a heated title race with Masandawana, who are chasing a record ninth league title in a row, while The Ghost are gunning for the title to end their decade-long league drought. On the other hand, the Winelands outfit is on a hunt to finish in the Top Eight after a poor start to the 2025/26 season.

    Masterchef’s future with the Sea Robbers is hanging in the balance as the 2025/26 season enters its final weeks. The midfielder, who joined the Buccaneers with high expectations, now faces the very real possibility of being shown the exit door after just one campaign in Soweto.

  2. Chiefs dealt major injury blow in CAF race

    The Glamour Boys have been hit with a significant setback in their quest for continental football as the vice-captain looks set to miss the rest of the 2025/26 campaign. The versatile defender has been a mainstay in the Amakhosi backline, and his absence comes at a critical juncture for the Naturena-based giants.

  3. Chiefs set to offload striker

    Amakhosi appear to have reached a definitive conclusion regarding the future of one of their strikers at Naturena. The veteran forward has endured a frustrating campaign on the sidelines and is now widely expected to depart the club as a free agent in the coming weeks.

  4. Sundowns 3-0 Polokwane City: 'As a Chiefs fan I'm behind you; we can't afford Pirates winning the league'

    The Brazilians hosted Rise and Shine at Loftus Versfeld Stadium on Sunday afternoon, gunning for maximum points to take a comfortable lead against the Sea Robbers in the chase for their ninth league title. On the other hand, the Limpopo-based side was not only looking to become the party poopers in the title race but also tighten their grip in the Top Eight.
