The Buccaneers have officially initiated a massive squad overhaul following their triumphant Betway Premiership campaign after confirming a series of high-profile arrivals and departures as they prepare to defend their titles and take on the continent next season.
Former Mamelodi Sundowns attacker Manqoba Ngwenya, who was no stranger to controversy during his own career, has issued a stark warning to 'Master Chef' by suggesting the 28-year-old midfielder's professional career is on the brink of a premature end after the Bucs decided to not extend his stay beyond a single season.
Amakhosi has been told that Sipho Mbule is the 'crowd puller' they need to restore the club's glory days following his departure from the Buccaneers. The talented midfielder is officially a free agent after the Sea Robbers opted against extending his stay in Soweto.
The future of Bafana Bafana international remains shrouded in mystery as his current contract approaches its expiration date this June. After a season of highs and lows at Mayfair, the midfielder's representative has finally addressed the growing speculation surrounding his standing within the squad.
Former Amakhosi development coach Farouk Khan has jumped to the defence of the midfielder following a season of fluctuating game time with the Buccaneers. Despite his side clinching a historic treble, the 28-year-old’s role under Abdeslam Ouaddou has sparked debate regarding his relationship with the technical team.
The Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture is no stranger to controversy online, or in real life and his seemingly innocent message of support for Master Chef appears to have rubbed people the wrong way.
A Buccaneers legend has launched a scathing attack on the Belgian tactician following the announcement of the preliminary squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The retired attacker believes the veteran coach has made several grave errors in his player assessments ahead of the global showpiece.
The 32-man extended South African FIFA World Cup squad was released by SAFA and it is fair to say there were mixed reactions to the list. Both inclusions and omissions caused a stir amongst fans who took to social media to express their hopes, dreams and criticisms of the assembled players who will carry the nations expectations into the global tournament.
The Buccaneers icon Tebogo Moloi has made a passionate plea to the club’s hierarchy regarding the future of stagnant playmaker. The gifted midfielder has struggled to make an impact in the Soweto giants' starting XI after a promising start to his tenure with the Black and White.
Outspoken pundit Junior Khanye has launched a scathing attack on 'Master Chef', claiming the midfielder has failed to meet the expectations set for him at the Soweto club and suggested that the talented playmaker has been in physical decline over the course of the season, which has seen him marginalized at the Bucs coaching staff.
Masanadawana face an anxious wait over the fitness of one of their key midfielders as the national team prepares to name their preliminary squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. With the global showpiece on the horizon, injury concerns have emerged at the worst possible time for a player once considered a certainty for the Belgian mentor's selection.
Masterchef’s future with the Sea Robbers is hanging in the balance as the 2025/26 season enters its final weeks. The midfielder, who joined the Buccaneers with high expectations, now faces the very real possibility of being shown the exit door after just one campaign in Soweto.
As the Sea Robbers turn their full focus on the derby, one man is under immense pressure than the rest: Bucs tactician. The fans hope their team wins, and for that to happen, the coach must pick his best line-up. Ouaddou must carefully select the starting line-up from a huge pool of players who have been very impressive in their recent outings.
The South African national team have many players to select from when it comes to protecting the goalkeeper, but the veteran Belgian has been urged to consider one Bucs star who has been excellent this season. With barely two months to the World Cup, it is interesting to see whether the technical team will consider him.
Harbouring targets beyond the Premier Soccer League, Bucs must strengthen their playing unit further if they are to achieve their continental aspirations. Even before the current season ends, already, the Soweto giants have been linked with a rather well-performing goalkeeper who was recently recognised by the national team coach.
The Soweto giants are out to build their terrific momentum, which has seen them score 11 goals in their last two games, when they meet the Natal Rich Boyz at uMhlathuze Stadium on Friday.
