Kaizer Chiefs news

The Premier Soccer League's transfer window has hit top gear with clubs strengthening from all angles as they work on meeting their set targets. Babina Noko, who did well before the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) break, are showing signs of going all the way with quality additions to their already impressive squad.

The 38-year-old has been doing relatively well since his exit from the defending Premier Soccer League champions two seasons ago. He has since been serving in North Africa, initially with the Botola Pro League outfit Wydad Athletic Club, followed by MC Alger of Algerian Ligue 1, who took him in at the start of the ongoing campaign.

The 21-year-old has been a hot cake in the transfer market owing to his exploits for the Rockets since his unceremonious move from the Glamour Boys a couple of years ago. Apart from Masandawana and Amakhosi, the creative South African international has been linked with a move to Europe, where speculations have it that several clubs have interest in his services.

The reigning Premier Soccer League champions have secured the services of three top players - Monnapule Saleng, Brayan Leon, and Khulumani Ndamane. They are working on regaining their position on top of the South African top-flight table. Then go all the way and win their ninth crown in as many seasons.

By strengthening their playing unit, the Brazilians are sending a clear message to their rivals that they mean business. So far, the Tshwane giants have confirmed the signing of Brayan Leon from Colombia and Monnapule Saleng from Orlando Pirates. The signing of the Bafana defender means there will be no void left in the defensive department after Lucas Suarez's exit.

As debate on who should take over Bafana Bafana when Broos' era comes to an end rages, some names have been suggested. From the experienced Pitso Mosimane to the emerging Rhulani Mokwena and Broos' current assistant, Helman Mkhalele, pundits have been analysing who is the best-suited tactician to handle the national side.

After what has been regarded as Bafana's poor performance in Morocco, South Africans have been left wondering whether their team is developing or regressing. Now, as the focus shifts to the 2026 World Cup finals, Bafana's supporters have been cautioned.

The former Royal AM owner, Shawn Mkhize, has wasted no time in making her presence felt at Highlanders, embarking on a South African shopping spree as the club moves swiftly in the January transfer window. In a bid to inject fresh energy and depth into the squad, the club has secured the services of several players, signalling a clear intent to strengthen their ranks and sharpen their competitiveness for the remainder of the season.

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 PSL January transfer window is officially open, with clubs busy beefing up their squads ahead of the second half of the season. The Buccaneers and Masandawana have already announced new signings, while Amakhosi are yet to rope in any fresh acquisitions. It remains to be seen whether the Glamour Boys will bring in new faces before the transfer period closes.

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.

Kaizer Chiefs still have an opportunity to end the season with a treble, as the PSL title, Nedbank Cup and CAF Confederation Cup are all still within reach. Interestingly, the Soweto giants could also just as easily finish the campaign empty-handed if results do not go their way in the coming months. Their fate largely rests in the hands of the co-coaches entrusted with leading the team following the departure of Nasreddine Nabi.

The defending champions resumed their campaign after a break and registered a convincing win against their opponents. Although they have the daunting task of closing in on the league leaders, Orlando Pirates, Amakhosi can use the morale from the huge win and string together a good run. Meanwhile, Sundowns failed to close in on the Sea Robbers after they dropped points.
