The former Amakhosi centre-back is in a race against time to recover from a knee injury and be fit for the global football tournament, which will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico. Failure to recover fully would force South Africa’s coach Hugo Broos to rethink his defensive plans ahead of the global showpiece. It would mean searching for a replacement for the player he trusted during the 2025 AFCON finals.

The 61-year-old may have delivered a golden era of silverware at Al Ahly, but the South African tactician still has high-ranking detractors in Cairo. Despite a trophy cabinet bulging from his 21-month stint with the Red Devils, former Managing Director of Sport Mohsen Saleh has launched a scathing attack on the coach's credentials and his eventual departure from the Egyptian giants.

The Libyan heavyweights have confirmed that they are in the middle of a high-stakes pursuit to pry the 38-year-old away from MC Alger. Despite the South African tactician being currently employed in Algeria, the Tripoli-based side have identified him as the primary candidate to lead their ambitious sporting project following the departure of Khaled Ben Yahia.

The South African Football Association (SAFA) have officially pulled back the curtain on the new 2026/2027 home jersey by adidas. In a move that is sure to delight fans of a certain vintage, the new look for both Mzansi men's and women's national teams draws direct inspiration from the legendary 2010 World Cup kit.

When the 20-year-old moved from Orlando Pirates to Chicago Fire, it triggered a massive upsurge on the Chicago club's social media, which saw 180,000 followers join in the first 48 hours. That figure has since grown to over half a million South African social media accounts now following the club, making up a quarter of their entire online audience.

Bahlabane ba Ntwa have announced the immediate suspension of their head coach. The decision comes in the wake of a catastrophic slump in form that has seen the club suffer seven consecutive defeats across all competitions, leaving their top-flight status hanging by a thread as they slide into a desperate relegation scrap.

The 24-year-old playmaker, who had become a peripheral figure at Chloorkop due to a loss of form and whispered concerns regarding his discipline off the pitch, made a triumphant return to the spotlight on Sunday with a Man of the Match display.

The South African coach has come out swinging against his detractors following a frustrating period for MC Alger. The former Mamelodi Sundowns tactician, who has often been compared to Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola due to his tactical sophistication, insisted on his own unique coaching identity after his side failed to secure maximum points in consecutive league outings.

The Glamour Boys co-coach has broken his silence regarding the intensifying pressure on his position following a disastrous run of form that has seen the Naturena outfit fall off the pace in the league and eliminated from both the Nedbank Cup and CAF Confederation Cup. Amakhosi have endured a nightmare February, losing four of their last five matches across all competitions, leaving fans questioning whether the current technical team is capable of restoring the club’s former glory.

The former Buccaneers midfielder has insisted that just one single player at the Glamour Boys is good enough to break into Abdeslam Ouaddou's starting eleven right now. With both teams struggling for form ahead of the Soweto Derby, there will be several players dreaming of putting their hands up and being the hero for their club.

The South African Football Association (SAFA) have officially confirmed the dates and locations for their upcoming double-header in the March international break, and fans now know exactly where they can cheer on Hugo Broos’ men as they fine-tune their preparations for the upcoming quadrennial global tournament.

The biggest fixture on the South African football calendar is under the microscope as Stadium Management SA (SMSA) gears up for a high-stakes derby. Ahead of the clash between Amakhosi and the Buccaneers at FNB Stadium, CEO Bertie Grobbelaar has announced that an independent firm, Fan Services, has been recruited to handle ticket scanning following a series of technical embarrassments during recent high-profile matches.

The Amakhosi faithful finally got a glimpse of their summer recruit on Tuesday night, but his bright debut was marred by a familiar result as they fell 2-1 to Stellenbosch FC at FNB Stadium, continuing a miserable record against the Winelands side that has now seen them lose three times this season across various competitions.

The 27-year-old last played a competitive football match in November 2025 while on loan at Orbit College from Orlando Pirates. He was apparently playing while carrying a thigh injury that flared up again after his shock move to Chloorkop in January. Now, as February draws to a close, rumours have started swirling about why the winger has yet to make an appearance in a match day squad at Masandawana.

It was the same old story for Amakhosi as they fell to their third straight defeat at the hands of the Winelands club. They dominated possession and chances created, especially in the first half, but failed to take their opportunities before letting their opponents score twice from their three shots on target. Afterwards, the Glamour Boys co-coach faced the media repeating the same old message of missed chances to blame for another damaging defeat.

When the Glamour Boys announced the acquisition of the Nigerian attacker, there was excitement among fans, with the 24-year-old's proven track record in local football pointing to him scoring many goals in the Black and Gold. But injuries have left the striker unavailable for the bulk of Amakhosi's matches and in danger of producing his worst season goal tally of his career.

Just three months ago, the 27-year-old was enjoying the acclaim of his performances with the Five-Star Player of the Month Award for November and talk of a possible big move being mooted. Since then, his Spanish club have gone on a run of no wins in 10 games, which has seen them drop into the relegation zone and announce the sacking of coach Jose Ziganda, the man who brought the reigning PSL Player of the Year to the club.

During the Buccaneers Nedbank Cup exit at the hands of second-tier Casric Stars, a section of the home support started booing 'Tito'. Now, in the aftermath of the defeat and with the Derby just days away, Innocent Chikoya has slammed the fans who targeted the 27-year-old and reminded them that the attacker was their last-minute penalty hero against Amakhosi just a year ago.
