Brighton & Hove Albion Academy Overview

The Tshwane giants are ready to lift the curtain on their domestic campaign this Saturday as they welcome Rise and Shine to Lucas Moripe Stadium for a high-stakes Wafa Wafa knockout tournament. Despite an interrupted pre-season, Masandawana defender insists the reigning CAF champions still hold a tactical trump card over the visitors.

The Citizens defender has broken his silence following a wave of backlash from the Buccaneers supporters over his controversial comments. The centre-back insisted that his claim regarding the Soweto giants was never intended to be a slight against the club's prestigious history.

The Tunisian mentor has officially explained his decision to recruit a former Buccaneers and Mamelodi Sundowns goalkeeper to his backroom staff. The former Kaizer Chiefs tactician is busy reshaping the Moroccan giants ahead of the 2026/27 season as they look to return to the summit of African football.

The former Buccaneers star believes a competitive Premier Soccer League will captivate fans this season, tipping the Sea Robbers to defend their crown against a revamped top three. The retired forward, who enjoyed spells with both Soweto giants, expects another close title race following the end of Mamelodi Sundowns' dominance.
