BackpagepixWe still have players like Nkanyiso Shinga and Ethan Chislett who're yet to make their official debuts, though - Siyasanga Mayekiso
BackpageBig teams don't sign players on loan; they send players on loans - Mshini Siphesihle
BackpageA very useless team signing low-profile footballers every season just to avoid paying good salaries - Mthunzi Wase Lawley
BackpagepixNot popular, but super talented. Kaizer Chiefs' head of scouting, Mr Maliwa, is doing a great job for the Naturena-based club - Mamannye Wa Mahlaela
BackpagepixGuys, let's not forget Thalente Mbatha came to Orlando Pirates on loan, then they signed him at the end of the season. That's the strategy to get a player without competing with scavengers like Mamelodi Sundowns - Donald Mlangeni
