After losing back-to-back matches, Amakhosi are under pressure and desperate for a victory. Some changes at the back are expected as Amakhosi hope to get a win in the midweek South African top-flight clash at the FNB Stadium.
The Soweto giants are facing a coaching situation which could disrupt all the work invested in pre-season as well as earlier stages of this season. This comes after Amakhosi started the 2025/26 term impressively but that could go down the drain for another difficult season. But the club's goalkeeper is not worried about what is happening in their camp.
The two players have been sent out to explore playing opportunities away from Naturena, hoping to improve themselves by the time they return to Amakhosi at the end of the season. Having come through Amakhosi development ranks, the duo will experience professional football in a different set-up hoping to cope with what they face away from the only club they have played for in their careers.
The domestic knockout competition is promising to offer entertainment given how teams have been paired in the initial round. After flopping last season, giants will have to navigate past their PSL rivals if they have to win the trophy in December.
Questions have been asked about the recent performances of the 29-year-old who was, once again, on the spotlight last weekend as the Glamour Boys dropped the ball in the CAF inter-club competition played in Luanda.
The Glamour Boys Academy graduate has been faulted for the team's recent defeat in the inter-club outing played last weekend. The club's techical team has now been asked to reconsider having the versatile defender in the starting XI in the forthcoming competitive assignments.
Despite the fact that Amakhosi had never lost to an Angolan club, that record was broken on Saturday when the Glamour Boys were frustrated by 10-man opponents. Chiefs now have some work to do when their opponents arrive for a do-or-die return leg.
Premier Soccer League action continues as the title race is slowly taking shape with teams separating each other. Log leaders Babina Noko remain unbeaten in this campaign after securing maximum points on Saturday at home against visiting Abafana Bes'thende. At the other end of the table, some teams are already in the battle to stay safe.
Follolwing a promising start to the season and a picture harmonious camp, things have unexpectedly changed for Amakhosi. With their coach on his way out of the club, that has coincided with a dip in form amid fears of a demoralised dressing room. That leaves the Soweto giants with a task to rise from the goings-on at Naturena.
The Soweto giants travelled to Luanda to face Kabuscorp, and they lost 1-0 in the first leg of their CAF Confederation Cup first-round tie at the 11th of November Stadium on Saturday. It was a second successive defeat for the Glamour Boys in four days, and to make it worse, they arrived in Angola without a head coach. They also could not score in two straight games.
The Soweto giants began their Confederation Cup journey in Angola on Saturday afternoon, after winning the Nedbank Cup last season. Amakhosi were last involved in continental action back in 2021 when they lost to Al Ahly in the Champions League final.
The Soweto giants are in Angola as they get the ball rolling in the continent's second-tier club competition at 11 November Stadium on Saturday. They arrived in Luanda on the backdrop of a chaotic week, which first saw them losing their first Premier Soccer League game of the season after falling to Sekhukhune United. That was followed by the Nasreddine Nabi drama, which has left them without a substantive head coach.
The Buccaneers have made a mischevious video digging at their traditional rivals who are dealing with a change in their technical team early in the season. The hilarious post sums up a difficult week Amakhosi have been facing as they attempt not to let it affect their business both at home and on the continent.
The Soweto giants kick off their continental campaign with an assignment in Angola, where they face a team their captain is familiar with. The match comes on the background of a tumultuous period for the Soweto giants who have a challenge to show they have the character to thrive in the face of a difficult situation.
The 30-year-old featured in his first match of the season when he came on as a second half substitute as the Brazilians were held to a draw by Bahlabane ba Ntwa. He played the last 20 minutes of the game and is now assured to be with Masandawa this season for now unless he moves in January. But he will have a lot to do to reclaim his starting berth for the Tshwane giants.
The Tunisian has revealed what made him leave the Soweto giants as the season just began with Chiefs doing pretty well. Apart from confirming his departure, he has also revealed where his next destination could be.
Masandawana are under the microscope after dropping crucial points to Marumo Gallants in a tense midweek Premier Soccer League showdown, raising questions about form, tactics and their grip on the early title race.
Wednesday night’s clash at Dr. Petrus Molemela Stadium delivered high drama as the hosts dug deep to frustrate the defending PSL champions, holding them to a hard-fought draw in a fiercely contested encounter that kept fans on the edge of their seats.
The experienced striker was on target twice as Babina Noko sunk Amakhosi on their own turf and ended their unbeaten run in the league. After helping his side torment the Glamour Boys, Grobler revealed Amakhosi overlooked him when he wanted to sign for them. A decision they surely regret with the striker now having scored 12 goals against them.
Masandawana have been heavily linked with the forward as they hope to get him to replace Lucas Ribeiro. It is understood that Downs recently placed an improved offer for the playmaker as they push to see whether they could get a deal over the line. But now it appears that will not be possible as the Brazilian side dig in.
In what could be seen as leakage for rival coaches and clubs, Tinkler has revealed how he was able to beat Amakhosi in a high-stakes encounter. Babina Noko outclassed the Glamour Boys by becoming the first team to beat them this season.
GOAL gives you the details to follow Madandawana's bid to reclaim top spot on the PSL table when they face Bahlabane ba Ntwa away at Dr Petrus Molemela Stadium on Wednesday.
It has been revealed that the former Milford star has keen admirers at the Naturena-based giants after making a good start to life in the PSL. Mthinyane has quickly established himself as a key player for Steve Barker's side who are a selling club.
Masandawana will be back in action for a midweek game to face Bahlabane Ba Ntwa, who are without a win in the last three games, despite starting the campaign positively.
After being the second player to arrive at Chloorkop this transfer window, following the signing of Fawaaz Basadien, the 27-year-old is in line to make his maiden appearance for Masandawana and has a huge task to prove that his acquisition was spot-on. But he faces stiff competition for playing time from a midfield laden with quality players.
So far, the Brazilians have not been as busy as they are used to being in the transfer window, but it has now emerged they are looking for quality players to bring on board.
