Despite his controversial exit, it is undeniable that the Brazilian attacking midfielder left an indelible mark in the Premier Soccer League. The 2024/25 Player of the Season and the Golden Boot winner was a key figure as Masandawana went on to defend the league for the eighth time in a row. However, his exit drew a lot of attention as he forced his way out while Downs wanted to keep him longer.

As Amakhosi's winning run continues, the supporters surely have something to celebrate. The three-match winning run follows a poor string where the Glamour Boys lost four games in a row. With the season heading towards the end, the Soweto giants are setting their eyes on a position that will give them a continental ticket.

The Soweto giants' midfielder has set his eyes on a scoring breakthrough as he settles into life at Naturena. The former Port Vale man says he is now focused on adding end product to his strong technical performances, with confidence growing that the goals will soon follow.

The 2025/26 Premier Soccer League season is into its final stretch, where teams in South Africa are working hard to realise their objectives set at the beginning of the campaign. Despite failing to get it right, as the supporters anticipated, the Glamour Boys are still expecting to qualify for continental inter-club competitions, but they have been told it will not be a walk in the park, despite having an advantage.

There have been questions about the goalkeeping department at the Glamour Boys for several years now, with current shot stoppers failing to deliver consistently. A section of the club's supporters feels the second-choice custodian should be let go, especially after conceding what was a seemingly easy goal in the 3-1 win over Orbit College.

The veteran South African tactician has been unattached for more than a year, with his last job coming during a short stint in Iran. He has been one of the most sought-after coaches on the continent, and now, reports suggest he could be set for a return to North Africa.

The loss is a big blow to the Rockets, who are in desperate need of a victory in order to avoid sliding down towards the relegation zone. After the international break, teams are now focused on their league duties, with some fighting against possible relegation as Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns engage in the title race.

The South African mentor is one of the most experienced tacticians in the country and has been linked with Amakhosi. However, the midweek heavy defeat to Bucs seems to have punctured his credibility, as some now believe he cannot coach a big club like the Glamour Boys.

The Glamour Boys have initially missed out on some top players who ended up joining their rivals in the South African Premier Soccer League. One has risen to the highest level, playing in the CAF Champions League, and is set to make the Bafana Bafana squad that will compete in the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the next two months.

In the absence of Brandon Petersen, the second-choice custodian has been trusted to undertake the goalkeeping duties. However, he has been under scrutiny, as some believe his performances are below par at times. Against the Mswenko Boys, he conceded a goal that increased the criticism directed at him.

The former Orlando Pirates winger turned up for Al-Ettifaq training with an Amakhosi jersey, something that raised eyebrows owing to the rivalry between the two Soweto giants in South Africa. The Bafana Bafana international shone for the Buccaneers for a season before the Saudi Arabian Pro League outfit signed him at the beginning of the season.

The Soweto giants could be regretting their January decisions after opting against signing a new goalkeeper while also sending Bontle Molefe out on loan. With their current shot-stoppers struggling with availability, the club is dangerously thin on options between the sticks at a crucial stage of the season.

The Glamour Boys are slowly turning the tide after initially losing four games in a row across all competitions. Although their chance of winning the Premier Soccer League title race is a distant dream, they are on a good trajectory to finish in the top three. If they achieve a position in that bracket, it will be considered an achievement after missing the top eight last season.
