Orlando Pirates news

The former Masandawana head coach has welcomed the intense title race currently unfolding in the Premier Soccer League, insisting that the neck-and-neck battle between the Brazilians and Buccaneers is exactly what South African football needs. The three-time CAF Champions League winner believes the unpredictability of the current campaign has breathed new life into the domestic game as the season reaches its climax.

The defender has issued a defiant message to title rivals, the Buccaneers, insisting that the reigning champions are not ready to relinquish their crown just yet. Despite a tough draw against Amakhosi that dented their momentum, the Zimbabwean international believes the Brazilians' vast experience will see them through in the season's final stretch.

The Sea Robbers former skipper Lucky Lekgwathi is adamant the team have finally found the momentum required to topple the Brazilians' long-standing rule over South African football. Following a massive week of results in the Betway Premiership, the legendary defender believes the trophy race is no longer a foregone conclusion but a battle that will go down to the absolute wire.

The pressure has intensified for the Tshwane giants in an increasingly fierce title race with Orlando Pirates. Despite trailing Masandawana by three points, their rivals hold a significant advantage with a game in hand and a superior goal difference, throwing the battle for Premier Soccer League supremacy wide open. With the run-in now reaching boiling point, every remaining fixture could prove decisive for both sides, and the Portuguese coach has now shifted his focus toward grinding out maximum points and letting the title race unfold on the final day.

The former Mamelodi Sundowns and Jomo Cosmos midfielder has sensationally claimed that the referee failed to issue red cards during the blockbuster clash between the Brazilians and Amakhosi. The shock 1-1 outcome at Loftus Versfeld has been dominated by conversations regarding the officiating after a series of heavy challenges left multiple players with serious injuries.

The Betway Premiership title race has taken a dramatic turn after the Brazilians dropped two points against the Sea Robbers on Wednesday. The former Amakhosi coach believes the tide has now swung strongly in favour of an in-form Abdeslam Ouaddou’s side.

Amakhosi's hopes of a back-door entry into the premier continental competition have been dashed following reports that the Confederation of African Football (CAF) has hit the brakes on its proposed tournament expansion. The Soweto giants were set to be the primary beneficiaries of a plan to increase continental representation for Africa's top-ranked leagues, but logistical hurdles have now forced a major rethink.

South African football has a new crown jewel, and the buzz surrounding the young sensation is reaching a fever pitch. At just 17 years old, the Kimberley-born playmaker is already being tipped for a future at Europe’s elite clubs, with his coach setting the bar as high as the Parc des Princes.

The Soweto giants coach has officially thrown down the gauntlet to the Belgian mentor regarding the international future of the experienced goalkeeper. As the 2026 FIFA World Cup approaches, the Bucs shot-stopper has become the subject of intense debate following his consistent exclusion from the national setup.

The Moroccan mentor has praised the special impact of the 24-year-old after the winger dominated the PSL monthly awards for April. While the Bafana Bafana star has rightfully taken the headlines, his coach was quick to point out that individual brilliance is merely a byproduct of the team's growing cohesion.

The Sea Robbers kept the pressure on Masandawana with a clinical victory over Stellies, but the Bafana Bafana international is refusing to get carried away. The former Polokwane City FC winger has delivered a remarkably calm assessment of the title race as the season reaches its boiling point.

Ex-Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs star has had his say on an electrifying PSL title race, and he’s backing the Brazilians to add more silverware to their crowded trophy cabinet. While the revitalised Buccaneers are currently breathing down their necks, the three-time league winner is adamant that the Chloorkop outfit’s championship DNA will be the deciding factor in holding off the Sea Robbers.

The centre-back's move from the Soweto giants to the USA may have divided opinion in the coaching dugout, but there is no debating the financial windfall the young defender has secured. The South Africa international has traded the PSL for Major League Soccer in a deal that has catapulted him into a different stratosphere of wealth.
