The Tshwane giants have confirmed a new signing just days after a shocking transfer that saw them bring on board Monnapule Saleng from Orlando Pirates. The South American star is a 20-goal contribution forward, and this is a statement signing by the Premier Soccer League giants. This is another asset added to Masandawana's attacking department as they chase more titles.
The forward had moved to Portugal in search of more game time, but that ambition was not achieved. Last season, he faced the same challenge at the Pretoria giants, and he could face the same problem upon returning. Downs have beefed up their attacking department with the signing of Monnapule Saleng, and that means there will be even stiffer competition for playtime.
The right-sided player has attracted the interest of Premier Soccer League heavyweights after a sensational performance for TS Galaxy. Now, a twist in the player's future has emerged, as it has now been revealed that Amakhosi have contacted his camp for a possible deal. Given the profile of the player, the race to sign Dithejane is expected to be a battle between the top clubs in the country.
The 30-year-old pushed for a move away from Chloorkop during the last PSL transfer window amid rumours that he was a wanted man in Europe. He could now secure a transfer, but he is being linked with Masandawana's local rivals, the Buccaneers. If that happens, it would mark the end of the right-back's time with the Brazilians, where he has been since October 2020.
The Brazilians are desperate to return to the top of the Premier Soccer League table and go all the way to win their ninth successive crown after an inconsistent start that has seen them struggle to keep up with current leaders the Buccaneers. The team's technical team is now hoping to deliver once they have strengthened their squad.
The defending Premier Soccer League champions Masandawana pulled a major surprise in the ongoing short January transfer window by bringing on board the 27-year-old winger from the Sea Robbers. The South Africa international has been playing for the Orbit College FC on loan until the Brazilians made their move.
In what will be seen as a surprising transfer of the January window, the Bucs star has completed a move to their Premier Soccer League rivals. As they fight to retain the league title, the Pretoria giants hope to get massive service from the left-footed forward, who is known for his pace and skilful movements. After he was frozen out at the Sea Robbers, Saleng sought refuge at Orbit College, where he became a regular starter.
The Buccaneers are revamping their squad as the PSL transfer window looms, with two players having left the club. The PSL log leaders are also set to bring in a new attacker to reinforce a squad bidding to complete a quadruple this season, after their MTN8 and Carling Knockout success. A rapid attacker was not short of admirers after becoming a free agent following his Bucs exit and GOAL has been exclusively been informed that he has signed a long-term deal at a PSL rival.
After spending big and making several signings at the beginning of the current season, one feels the Soweto giants aren’t a million miles away from becoming solid challengers for the Premier Soccer League title. And that was evident when they started the campaign like a house on fire, putting together a solid run that saw them mentioned among the early contenders.
In a high-octane Premier Soccer League at Olympia Park Stadium, fans were not only treated to drama but also to a classic football match as Stellenbosch grabbed a 2-1 win over Orbit College. Monnapule Saleng registered his third assist of the season, although his side was stunned by the opponent's late comeback.
The Mswenko Boys are set for a stern Stellies test in their midweek Premier Soccer League assignment, hoping to capitalise on Steve Barker’s men’s poor form as they push to climb the table. The Western Cape outfit has struggled this season, which explains why they are far from guaranteed a positive result.
The Glamour Boys are set for another Premier Soccer League test on Wednesday against the Mswenko Boys, who are seemingly getting their footing following a poor start to the ongoing edition. Co-coaches Cedric Kaze and Khalil Ben Youssef are aware they can't keep dropping points if they are to finish inside the top positions.
The winger's move to the Premier Soccer League debutants came as a surprise amid expectations that he would spend this season at a more established team. He is at ORBIT College, where all eyes are on him to help them escape relegation in their maiden season of top-flight league football.
The winger who returned to his former team in search of playtime made a crucial contribution, which saw the league debutants manage a win at Umhlathuze Sports Complex on Friday. Initially, the forward was criticised, but his latest performance seems to have won the coach's trust.
The retired winger's remarks follow last month’s candid take from Orbit College head coach Pogiso Makhoye, who openly admitted that Saleng hadn’t yet made the impact he’d hoped for at the club. Makhoye’s honesty sparked debate, with many questioning whether the player’s potential was being fully unlocked.
The Mswenko Boys are among the new teams that were promoted to the ongoing 2025/26 South African top-flight football after a successful stint in the lower tier. They have been bringing in players they feel will bring much-needed experience in their bid to sustain their position in the top league beyond this season.
