Mamelodi Sundowns FC news

Buccaneers' Makhehlene Makhaula has opened up on The Brazilians' eight straight Premier Soccer League titles, calling their ongoing reign as champions heart-breaking ahead of Wednesday's blockbuster at FNB Stadium. This is a high-stakes encounter for both giants, given that they are the two top rivals in the title race. The Tshwane outfit cannot afford to lose, as the gap between them and the Soweto team would be extended to nine points.

When Andre De Jong moved from Stellenbosch to the Buccaneers he promised to help them win the Premier Soccer League crown. Now, on the eve of their crucial showdown with current champions Mamelodi Sundowns, the 29-year-old has revealed an extra motivation for joining the club.

The Sea Robbers have been consistent under the former Morocco international defender who took over at the start of the season from Spaniard Jose Riveiro. After securing the MTN8 and Carling Knockout, the Soweto giants are chasing the remaining two crowns. It explains why it might be hard for other players to be introduced.

For Masandawana, there is no resting at all; just days after completing the CAF Champions League group stage campaign, the Sea Robbers wait for them on Wednesday. This is a high-stakes encounter for both giants, given that they are the two top rivals in the title race. The Tshwane giants cannot afford to lose, as the gap between them and the Soweto outfit will extend to nine points.

The two top dogs in South African top-flight football are set to meet in the midweek clash, with each hoping for maximum points. The fixture presents a massive opportunity for Abdeslam Ouaddou's men to extend their gap on top of the PSL table as the Brazilians are desperately trying to put their actions together.

The experienced midfielder has seen it all in the years he has played in South African top-flight football, where he represented top teams including Masandawana, Babina Noko, and the Sea Robbers. He is close to signing for another top team in Mzansi football who are at risk of dropping into the second tier.

Bahlabane Ba Ntwa have, for the first time, responded after initial reports indicated that their top-flight slot was in danger after Dube Birds moved to court in an attempt to cancel the sale. The Soweto-based outfit wants the agreement to be terminated legally by the courts. If the sale deal is cancelled, Swallows will get their PSL status back, and Gallants will lose all the rights.

The Buccaneers are among the teams in South Africa's top tier with massive depth, owing to the signings they made in the last two transfer windows. While the ex-Premier League defender has tried to balance the squad, he promises it will not be about leniency. The Moroccan will reward individuals for their commitments.

As the season gains momentum in the second round, the battle lines have been drawn as far as the title race is concerned. Clubs considered the PSL's 'Big Three' are all in contention for the trophy, but the raging debate is who will withstand and beat their rivals in the end. The Soweto giants have their focus solely fixed on the top-tier marathon, as Masandawana have their attention divided between domestic and continental assignments.

After a difficult week rocked by spying allegations against analyst Mario Masha for allegedly leaking tactical information to Rhulani Mokwena, Madsandawana rose to the occasion with a crucial victory over the Algerian side that kept their CAF Champions League campaign alive.

The Citizens' Under-21s are running the rule over the KwaZulu-Natal youngster after Pep Guardiola's assistant was shown video footage of Khulekani Nxumalo in action in the Durban Central Premier League.

After the Brazilians secured their path to the knockout rounds of the CAF Champions League, some of their players began receiving rave reviews for their performances. This turnaround followed a period of sharp criticism directed at the squad and coach Miguel Cardoso when the team struggled both domestically and on the continent. They were facing the real threat of being dumped out of the continental competition.

In order to make the former Mamelodi Sundowns star an effective player, a position where he can express himself fully has been identified. Initially, the playmaker was deployed as the main man behind the strikers, but recently there has been stiff competition for that slot. In the games against Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila and Marumo Gallants, he played in a different position and not as a playmaker.
