The next couple of days are vital in the South African top tier, as they will paint a clear picture of whether Bucs can sustain their push for the crown. Masandawana are in action on Wednesday night, hoping to get their 11th straight win in the Mzansi top-flight division to overtake the Soweto giants, who have played two games more.

The football fraternity will be treated to another spectacle when Soweto's most followed clubs clash again on April 26 at the FNB Stadium. Bucs will be looking for points to boost their chances of winning the league, while Amakhosi need a win that will help them cement a top-three post.

Currently, the Sea Robbers' focus is firmly on the league title race, where they are in a prime position to end their over-decade-long wait for the trophy. However, back in the club's mind are plans to make the squad even more competitive in order to challenge for more titles next season.

The former Masandawana forward has spent the season in Belgium, but his future now hangs in the balance. With uncertainty growing around his next move, even if he returns to Toronto FC, questions continue to swirl about where he will land next. A former Buccaneers star has since weighed in, advising him on the transfer that could best reignite and steer his career in the right direction.

The South African star has struggled to replicate the top-level performance he showed at Bucs before he left for Saudi Arabia. The 21-year-old has also found it hard to break into the first team on a more regular basis, making his chances of going to the global bonanza a subject of debate.

The Buccaneers are gearing up for a high-stakes showdown against their old foes, Amakhosi, this Sunday. They head into the clash with confidence, having already claimed this season’s bragging rights in the earlier fixture. They now announce the state of fitness in their camp.

The right-back has made his long-awaited return to competitive action after being sidelined since October 2025. He showed no signs of rust, delivering top performances on his comeback. It was a statement display, proving he has quickly shaken off the effects of his lengthy absence.

When results have been poor for Amakhosi, the co-coaches have always been the scapegoats. Even when the Glamour Boys perform better, the two are rarely given the applause they deserve. With the season heading to a close, the question remains whether the club's hierarchy will retain the two.

Frustrated supporters of the late 'keeper have received official backing from the family to initiate a national shutdown as they seek justice for the former South Africa captain amid growing dissatisfaction with the ongoing legal proceedings following the 30-year-old's tragic death in 2014.

The Soweto giants have rediscovered their form during a critical time as they work on getting a CAF Confederation Cup ticket. Amakhosi have collected 16 points from the possible 18 in the last six South African top-tier assignments played recently. The Angolan has welcomed the run, which he believes is a solid foundation ahead of the new season.

The South African football icon has shared his thoughts on the intense battle for the Betway Premiership title as The Buccaneers and The Brazilians go head-to-head. With the season reaching its final stages, the legendary figure has weighed the prospects of his former club against the dominant force from Pretoria.

The Sea Robbers have been putting up a brave fight in their bid to beat Mamelodi Sundowns to the South African top-tier crown. The last time the Buccaneers won the competition was way back in the 2011/12 season, but they have finished second in the last three editions in a row.

The versatile combative midfielder was recognised for his recent contribution as Amakhosi claimed a point at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium last weekend. But the Rise and Shine tactician is not convinced the Glamour Boys' man was exceptional on the pitch.
