A number of new Amakhosi players are yet to make their debut for the club due to some reasons ranging from injuries to status disputes. There are also those who have already turned out for the Soweto giants but are now struggling with fitness issues. The team's assistant coach provides an update on the state of their camp.
Amakhosi did their continental assignment without some of their players, but in the end, they managed to see off their rivals to advance. The Burundian tactician is now hopeful that when the missing stars are available, it will give the team the necessary boost.
After a 1-0 defeat in the first leg, Amakhosi faced a rather tough challenge at home, but the Premier Soccer League side managed to surmount the hurdle and progress. Brandon Petersen was the Glamour Boys' hero as he made a decisive save during the shootouts.
The winner of this contest had to be determined from the spot kicks after a 1-1 aggregate draw in regulation time. Whereas Kabuscorp stunned Amakhosi at their own turf, the Glamour Boys fought back at the FNB Stadium, leaving matters at par, and the victor was decided from the spot.
The 29-year-old Amakhosi forward is determined to help the Soweto giants get back to the top of Mzansi football as opposed to meeting his own objectives.
The transfer window may be closed, but there are free agents who could add their flair to any PSL club. Experience, hunger and tactical versatility are waiting on the sidelines - ready to be called upon when clubs need a timely boost.
The former Cape Town City forward is among the 11 players the Glamour Boys signed for the 2025/26 season where they will be competing domestically and abroad.
Amakhosi were presented with an opportunity to collect maximum points against their visitors from Bloemfontein but threw away that chance. That saw the Soweto giants going three games without tasting victory, a situation which threatens to demoralise their players after starting the season on a promising note.
Although it is yet to be officially confirmed, the coach has revealed his time with Amakhosi is over, and the club's legend believes he should have stayed longer. The Tunisian tactician has not been available for the last two games.
Durban City now have the same points as Orlando Pirates after a goalless draw against Stellenbosch, while Chilli Boys collected a point that took them above Siwelele FC, although they remain in the relegation zone.
Just after suffering a setback in the CAF Confederation Cup, Amakhosi's return to league action has not alleviated pressure, but it has added more after a draw against Marumo Gallants. Although crucial points have been dropped, it will remain a memorable day for Khanyisa Mayo, who scored his debut goal.
After he was declared a free agent, the utility star revealed what he would like to achieve with Usuthu upon completion of his long-awaited move. The amateur club fought hard to cling to their players but have lost three cases so far, as the judgements favour the footballers.
After reportedly failing to agree on terms for a new contract, the player left his Premier Soccer League side and has now been confirmed as the latest acquisition by the European outfit. The European move marks the 24-year-old's first move outside the country.
Despite the fact that Amakhosi had never lost to an Angolan club, that record was broken on Saturday when the Glamour Boys were frustrated by 10-man opponents. Chiefs now have some work to do when their opponents arrive for a do-or-die return leg.
Although his position in the first team looked uncertain when the season began, the star played a crucial role as the Sea Robbers stamped authority on the domestic trophy. His hunger and determination have been picked as traits that set him apart.
The Sea Robber has been a sensation both for the club and the national team because of his consistency and work rate. However, he has been overlooked by the Amajita head coach, who did not include him in his U20 World Cup squad.
Midweek action in South Africa’s top flight delivered standout performances and dramatic moments, setting the stage for an exciting weekend of league football. Meanwhile, continental duties await giants Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs.
It has been revealed that the former Milford star has keen admirers at the Naturena-based giants after making a good start to life in the PSL. Mthinyane has quickly established himself as a key player for Steve Barker's side who are a selling club.
It was another exciting weekend where top-flight teams were aiming at keeping their position at the summit while those struggling had another chance to deliver.
With legendary clubs disappearing and communities losing their football identity, many are asking: is the PSL losing its soul, and are the fans being left behind?
