Durban City news

Amakhosi's season appears to be headed for the worst after what had looked like a promising start to the campaign. Having already missed out on the Carling Knockout, the CAF Confederation Cup, and the Nedbank Cup, the Soweto giants have seen their hopes of silverware steadily slip away. That leaves only the Premier Soccer League title to fight for, but their chances of lifting it now look increasingly faint.

Within a month, Amakhosi faced big setbacks in the season, and questions remain about whether they can quickly dust themselves off and return to winning ways. Elimination from the Nedbank Cup and the CAF Confederation Cup saw the Glamour Boys' trophy ambitions go up in smoke. Fans expected them to bounce back against their traditional rivals, but they were served additional heartbreak.

The South African top-tier side has been frequently making changes in the technical team since their promotion to the top. So far, three men have been sacked this season, and most recently, the Technical Director followed suit. The club management has now come clear on the decision made a couple of days ago.

After facing off in the first Soweto derby of the season, both Bucs and the Sea Robbers are staring at bad news. Amakhosi and the Buccaneers will be in action in the midweek but will have to do duties without key players. The stars are suspended, meaning the coaches of the respective teams will have to look out for alternatives.

Bahlabane ba Ntwa have announced the immediate suspension of their head coach. The decision comes in the wake of a catastrophic slump in form that has seen the club suffer seven consecutive defeats across all competitions, leaving their top-flight status hanging by a thread as they slide into a desperate relegation scrap.

Premier Soccer League action continued this weekend as the campaign rolled into matchday 19, with teams jostling for crucial points in the race for honours and survival. While the Soweto Derby featuring Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates understandably hogged the limelight, other teams were also in action, quietly shaping the standings and adding fresh twists to an increasingly competitive season.

Amakhosi were humiliated by their old rivals in a contest where they offered little resistance for the better part of the afternoon. By their co-coach’s own admission, they were out of the game and were outplayed by their opponents. The damaging result also appeared to have caught the attention of their former coach, adding to the growing scrutiny on their performance.

The Glamour Boys co-coach has broken his silence regarding the intensifying pressure on his position following a disastrous run of form that has seen the Naturena outfit fall off the pace in the league and eliminated from both the Nedbank Cup and CAF Confederation Cup. Amakhosi have endured a nightmare February, losing four of their last five matches across all competitions, leaving fans questioning whether the current technical team is capable of restoring the club’s former glory.

The Amakhosi first-choice custodian was not available, and his replacement endured a leaky outing on his return, which happened on the big stage as he started in goal for the first time since May 2025. On an afternoon meant to remind everyone of his pedigree, he instead appeared vulnerable between the sticks, and his performance could raise fresh doubts about him.

The Glamour Boys failed to turn up for the party at the FNB Stadium as their traditional rivals, the Buccaneers, literally walked on them. The technical team made some big calls on the material day that didn't work as anticipated from the first to the final whistle. The hosts could have easily got a hiding, but their opponents missed some big chances.

A promising season is crumbling as the Glamour Boys supporters witness a familiar disappointing story after the latest defeat in the South African top-tier. The Burundian tactician has admitted that his charges were outsmarted by their traditional rivals, who are favourites, alongside Mamelodi Sundowns, to go all the way.

Both the Glamour Boys and the Sea Robbers came into Saturday's game desperate for maximum points after recent back-to-back losses. While the Ghost needed victory to make it five PSL wins in a row, their hosts wanted to ensure they remain in contention by claiming three points to keep alive their dream of ending the season with silverware.

The Glamour Boys welcome the joint league leaders this weekend, Saturday, at home in a highly anticipated fixture. Interestingly, both teams are desperate for a win following their recent struggles, explaining why both sets of supporters are anxiously waiting for the biggest game on South African soil.
