The 28-year-old joined AmaZulu ahead of the 2025-26 season and has immediately set about repaying his transfer fee. His Man Of The Match display against Kaizer Chiefs on Wednesday was no fluke.

The former South Africa under-23 international leads the league in both Save Percentage with 85.7% and Saves per 90 at 3.9.

The Polokwane City winger may contribute going forward with two goals to his name this season, but it is his defensive contribution of 25 tackles at an average of 3.0 a game that sees him topping the league stats right now.

AmaZulu have struggled of late. They started the season with two wins out of their first three matches, but have fallen away to 9th on the log after just one win in their last five.

One player who is doing his best to arrest their slide is 28-year-old centre back Sandile Mthethwa, who leads the way with 21 interceptions at an average of 2.6 per match.

Polokwane City have the joint-third best defence in the league, having conceded just five goals in their nine matches. One of the reasons for this miserly defending is centre back Mpho Mvundlela, who leads the league with 91 clearances at an average of 10.1 per match.

In the category of Fouls committed per 90, you would normally expect to find a no-nonsense defensive midfielder or a feared centre back. But step forward Magesi's Zimbabwean winger Edmore Chirambadare, who is averaging an impressive 5.3 fouls per match, but has only one yellow card to his name.

The young Golden Arrows winger will soon find himself top of the big clubs' transfer shopping lists if he keeps this up. The 22-year-old tops the Chances Created charts with 18, has scored two goals, made three assists and has one Man of the Match award under his belt. Not bad going in his nine matches so far this season. 

Not really much of a surprise that Mamelodi Sundowns players dominate the Accurate passes per 90 stats. Malibongwe Khoza (75.4) and Keanu Cupido (76.5) run our winner, Mosa Lebusa (77.3), close with the nearest non-Masandawana player being Kaizer Chiefs' Thabo Cele with 72.

The 34-year-old may have reached the point in his career where his minutes need to be managed carefully, but when he is on the field, he is a dribbling wizard with an astonishing 87.5% success rate at an average of 2.5 dribbles per 90. If I were his coach, I'd get the ball to him more often than that.

The Congolese attacker may only have scored once for Kaizer Chiefs in the league this season, but it is not for want of trying. Not only does the 28-year-old lead the stats for Shots per 90 at 5.6, a whopping two more than anybody else, but he also leads the way for Shots on target per 90 with 2.4.

The 25-year-old has had his ups and downs since he left European football behind and chose Chloorkop as his home. But this season, he seems to have found the trust of Miguel Cardoso in the league, having played all 10 of The Brazilians' matches so far, and he has rewarded his coach with eight goal involvements (four goals and four assists).
