Our local South African video channel has all the latest Mzanzi soccer videos from Amakhosi, Buccaneers, Masandawana and the rest of the PSL teams.

The former Bucs coach is in South Africa as a brand advocate for Carling Black Label, the sponsors of the Carling Knockout Cup, and spoke to the media about his time at the Sowetan giants and his desire to see the club be successful.

We sat down with the former Orlando Pirates midfielder and now U19 coach at AmaZulu to get his views on the the Amajimbos attacking midfielder and his future in the game.

South Africa has a wealth of talent, with each player boasting their own blend of abilities. Some are fast, or technically gifted, or have a creative vision that can split a defence apart. Others are more athletic and can put in a crunching tackle or two. No matter what their skillsets are, there is one thing they all have in common: the price a football club is willing to pay for their services.

The 21-year-old attacker has struggled with form and fitness this season but was back on the bench for Bucs 3-1 win over Golden Arrows, coming on to provide his first assist of the campaign.

All of the Premier Soccer League's Big Three won in Round 12 of the season, with the two Soweto clubs putting in statement wins that will have the Chloorkop faithful starting to worry about their ninth league title in a row. There were standout performers in those matches and across the other mid-week fixtures in the final domestic league games before the international break.

With several new signings still to be properly integrated with the squad, the veteran midfielder has called on the club's supporters to be patient and believes it is only a matter of time until The Brazilians hit the levels they know they are capable of.

Amakhosi were drawn against three sides that all have history with the Soweto club. Egypt's Zamalek and Al Masry, and Zambia's ZESCO all have historical links to matches in the past which still rankle and offer an opportunity for revenge.

The continental draw at the SuperSport studios on Monday threw up a tough group for The Brazilians. Not only do they face a former coach wise in their ways, but they face opposition who have already proved they can beat South African sides. They also have Sundanese club Al-Hilal, who were quarterfinalists last season.

In the last five seasons, a succession of overhyped strikers have arrived at Naturena, believing they will deliver the goals Amakhosi so desperately need. But 13 strikers later and goodness knows how much money spent, The Glamour Boys still can't seem to stick it in the net.

The 36-year-old grew up with The Brazilians' midfielder and believes their respective skill sets would have complimented each other perfectly.

The 36-year-old wants the league's young stars to focus on their football and urges them to bring in their family to assist with all the off-field decision-making.

Not sure how Bucs would cope with Lamine Yamal or Ousmane Dembele or Kylian Mbappe running at them but all that really matters is this young man believes in his team and their ability to weave magic on the football field.

Stat nerds assemble! GOAL digs deep into the matrix to find which teams are leading the way in the key underlying metrics that show whether your team is just getting lucky (or unlucky) in their league campaign.

What better way to prepare for the return of domestic league action than four minutes of the best goals scored in the 2025-26 season? Every one of these are Goal of the Season contenders and are a reminder that when the PSL's finest catch a glimpse of the net, they are going to find it with the ball.

The Simba SC midfielder is fully behind South Africa as they seek the victory that could propel the national team to the World Cup finals for the first time since the country hosted the 2010 version of the quadrennial event.

The unfortunate deduction of three points by FIFA for fielding Teboho Mokoena when he was suspended dropped South Africa to second in Group C on goal difference. But qualification is still in reach if the team wins against Zimbabwe and Rwanda, and can score a few goals while doing it.

These young fans are optimistic that the national team will help them fulfil their World Cup dreams.
