The Brazilians are desperate to return to the top of the Premier Soccer League table and go all the way to win their ninth successive crown after an inconsistent start that has seen them struggle to keep up with current leaders the Buccaneers. The team's technical team is now hoping to deliver once they have strengthened their squad.

Check out the latest transfer news and rumours from Amakhosi, Buccaneers, Masandawana and the rest of the PSL teams. The summer transfer window is open and all the PSL's clubs are looking for reinforcement for their squads ahead of the second half of the season.

The defending Premier Soccer League champions Masandawana pulled a major surprise in the ongoing short January transfer window by bringing on board the 27-year-old winger from the Sea Robbers. The South Africa international has been playing for the Orbit College FC on loan until the Brazilians made their move.

Football lovers in Mzansi are still reeling from the pain of failing to make the latter stages of the biennial competition ongoing in the North African nation of Morocco after falling to the five-time champions, the Indomitable Lions, in the initial knockout phase round. However, the style of play caught the attention of an experienced tactician.

The former Morocco and Fulham defender is flying high with the Sea Robbers after joining them from Marumo Gallants in the off-season transfer window, where he replaced the Spaniard tactician. He has so far won the MTN8 and the Carling Knockout and is hoping to win the Premier Soccer League and the Nedbank Cup as well.

The Glamour Boys are representing the country in the CAF Confederation Cup alongside Stellenbosch who reached the semi-final in the 2024/25 season before falling to Simba SC. The Soweto giants are determined to deliver in the continent's second-tier competition despite making a return after a couple of years in the cold.

South Africa are fresh from a not-so-satisfying Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) outing in Morocco, where they failed to get past the Round of 16 just two years after finishing third in Ivory Coast. The main focus now is the forthcoming global competition that will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

The 20-year-old South African international has won millions of supporters' hearts owing to his resolute defending for both his former club, the Buccaneers, and the national team. A Major League Soccer outfit Chicago Fire have secured his services from the Soweto giants, hoping the youngster will continue delivering consistently.

After Bafana Bafana's elimination from the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), coach Hugo Broos has been trending in Mzansi. Some have been showing immense support for the veteran tactician, while a section is not satisfied with the exploits in Morocco, where they feel South Africa could have done better.

The Belgian tactician insists the national team lacks players who have been exposed to top leagues in Europe as opposed to their opponents on the continent. Ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup to be co-hosted by the United States, Mexico, and Canada, the 73-year-old has hinted Mzansi should not expect miracles unless more of his potential squad play regularly in 'tough' overseas divisions.

The veteran 73-year-old Belgian tactician has been trending since the country's elimination from the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) on Sunday by Cameroon, who will now play Morocco in the quarter-final. A section of South African fans believe the coach has lost it, while some remain optimistic he is the right man at the helm of the Mzansi national team.

The Premier Soccer League teams are strengthening their teams as the South African top tier enters a critical stage in the next couple of weeks following the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) break that allowed Bafana Bafana to prepare and compete in the biennial competition. Clubs have limited times to sign players they need.

The legendary South African midfielder has been playing for Masandawana since 2011, delivering consistently across all competitions for both the Premier Soccer League heavyweights and the national team. Despite being 36, 'Mshishi' as he is commonly referred to, remains a vital player not only for Masandawana but for Hugo Broos' men.

The 38-year-old former Orlando Pirates and Masandawana tactician has been proving his doubters wrong with his tactics in North Africa, where he is currently contracted to the Algerian League 1 outfit, a couple of months after leaving Morocco's Botola Pro league. The South African has been linked to the Glamour Boys.

The South Africa versatile attacker has been excellent for both the Buccaneers and the national team across all competitions. There have been a host of clubs that have been heavily linked with the winger, but none have materialised so far despite the talent he has. The former Masandawana tactician has now revealed interest in the Bucs player.

The Super Eagles, who have won the competition three times - 1980 when they hosted it, 1994 in Tunisia, and 2013 in South Africa, were in a class of their own against Os Mambas in a Round of 16 assignment played at the Fez Stadium on Monday night. It was a game they needed to win as they chase their fourth crown, having come close in 2023.

In the PSL mid-season transfer, clubs get another chance to strengthen their squads ahead of another gruelling half. Although many clubs bought new players before the season began, the mid-season window gives them a chance to get the right players to either strengthen further or get better replacements if their previous signings flopped.

The 24-year-old has been with the club since his early days in the game, coming through the ranks to represent the senior team and become a key player for the Cape Winelands region. Initially, the South Africa international had been linked with a move to the Soweto giants, but he has been convinced to stay.
