The Buccaneers have been making quality signings in the short January transfer window as the management and the technical team are working harder to ensure they have enough arsenal to challenge Mamelodi Sundowns and Co. for the Premier Soccer League title in the ongoing 2025/2026 campaign after going for more than a decade without one.
The Buccaneers are showing no intention of slowing down as they have made three signings in the short January transfer window, as they work on achieving their target of winning all the domestic competitions. Already, they have secured the MTN8 and the Carling Knockout, which happened before the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) break.
The Soweto giants have been desperately chasing the South African top-tier league glory for more than a decade now, having last claimed the crown in the 2011/12 campaign. The Buccaneers have finished second in the last three seasons, behind Mamelodi Sundowns, who have managed to win the last eight editions in a row.
The Glamour Boys and the Sea Robbers, just like the other Premier Soccer League teams, will have a month or so to strengthen their squads in their bid to achieve the set objectives in the ongoing 2025/26 campaign, both domestically and abroad. While Amakhosi continue rebuilding, the Buccaneers want to sustain their already impressive quality.
The Premier Soccer League sides served up an entertaining encounter as they fought for a final slot in the domestic cup. After a rather dull first half, a four-goal thriller was witnessed in a livelier second half. Despite the thrilling show, no team managed to get a winning goal even in extra time, and the winner was decided from the post-match penalty shoot-out.
