Mamelodi Sundowns FC news

The Tshwane giants have long set high standards, and unfortunately, the recent performances have raised questions. The tight league title race has placed the Chloorkop outfit under intense pressure, but Motsepe believes these challenges can be overcome through mutual understanding between the fans and the technical team, as well as the management's long-term goals for the club.

The 24-year-old has become one of the most talked-about talents at Chloorkop, with the second half of the season highlighting a significant improvement for the Cape Town-born midfielder. Among those impressed is former Sundowns captain Hlompho Kekana, who has publicly backed him as the best midfielder in the country.

The Tshwane giants face a tough challenge of defending the league crown after a dominance that has stretched for eight seasons straight. What makes it an even more entertaining race is the fact that the two Soweto giants are pushing hard and Downs are inconsistent. As the marathon intensifies, the defending champions have been told not to look for favours elsewhere but must do it by themselves.

This is a season that has the Masandawana faithful counting down to the final whistle, hopeful that the Tshwane giants can still salvage success from what has largely felt like a campaign to forget. With frustrations mounting and fingers pointed at management and the coach, questions have swirled around team selections. However, Cardoso has set the record straight and firmly dismissed the allegations.

The tactician has been under incredible pressure as the Tshwane giants struggle to impose themselves as compared to previous seasons. Already, the Brazilians failed to win the Nedbank Cup, the Carling Knockout, and the MTN8, meaning their ambitions of lifting multiple trophies are not tenable. Masandawana's inconsistency raises more questions about whether they are competitive enough to win the PSL and CAF Champions League.

After elimination from the continental competition, the South African tactician has continued to face challenges as his charges are yet to win. The Algerian outfit has not won in the last three games, and if the trend continues, it will put the former Masandawana coach under pressure. As the winless run extends, the 38-year-old tactician must come up with a plan to steady his boat before it gets worse.

The duel between South Africa's football giants is set to grab the limelight as the Premier Soccer League rivals from Soweto clash on Saturday. Both Amakhosi and the Buccaneers will need the points from the game to boost their chances of winning the league title. Apart from the three points up for grabs, the Sea Robbers and the Glamour Boys will be fighting for the fixture's bragging rights.

The Brazilians are chasing the Premier Soccer League crown as well as the CAF Champions League after the recent loss to TS Galaxy in the Nedbank Cup's Round of 16. Fringe players were given a chance to prove their worth but ended up struggling against the Rockets to crash out of the annual domestic competition.

The biggest fixture on the South African football calendar is under the microscope as Stadium Management SA (SMSA) gears up for a high-stakes derby. Ahead of the clash between Amakhosi and the Buccaneers at FNB Stadium, CEO Bertie Grobbelaar has announced that an independent firm, Fan Services, has been recruited to handle ticket scanning following a series of technical embarrassments during recent high-profile matches.

The 27-year-old last played a competitive football match in November 2025 while on loan at Orbit College from Orlando Pirates. He was apparently playing while carrying a thigh injury that flared up again after his shock move to Chloorkop in January. Now, as February draws to a close, rumours have started swirling about why the winger has yet to make an appearance in a match day squad at Masandawana.

Brazilians returned to the top of the Premier Soccer League table after edging Usuthu 1-0 at Moses Mabhida Stadium on Tuesday. As the match appeared to be headed for a goalless draw, the Chilean rose from the bench to grab the only goal of the match and spark wild celebrations from Masandawana, who were staring at another humiliating outing following the Nedbank Cup exit.

Although the Durban-based outfit is one of the traditional clubs in South Africa, they are yet to be considered as one of the big outfits compared to their rivals. Usuthu is a club with a legacy in the country but is yet to match their Premier Soccer League rivals like Bucs, Downs and Amakhosi. However, its top official has made a bold claim that it is time for the team to take its rightful position in the football circle.

The Sea Robbers joined giants Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs out of the competition after falling to minnows on Saturday. The second-tier outfit were inspired by their custodian, who was confident throughout the game, ensuring his defense didn't leak. The 25-year-old has explained his heroics against the Soweto giants.
