The 29-year-old started the season in a promising manner and was being touted as a deserving player to be selected for Bafana Bafana duty, but fizzled out and was being frozen out by Buccaneers coach Abdeslam Ouaddou. That sparked transfer rumours and the forward has now moved to the Cape Winelands where he will try to pick up form and end the season on a high.
Amakhosi rivals, particularly Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns, have taken advantage of the short transfer window. But the Glamour Boys have not yet brought on board anyone, and there is a likelihood the technical bench will work with the players already available. Given that they are challenging on both domestic and continental fronts, Chiefs' coaches can only hope each and every player will play their part as required in order to achieve their season's ambitions.
The 26-year-old has not been able to settle as anticipated in the last couple of months despite his massive quality and versatile experience. However, he has not yet secured a move to another team after his recent return from abroad, where he was plying his trade with the Portuguese Primeira Liga outfit AVS.
The former Bafana Bafana star becomes the latest South African talent to cross the border in search of more footballing opportunities. The club has highlighted the importance of the appointment, and they hope the former Mzansi will help them achieve their ambitions. After his career was cut short by a serious injury, it is a chance for him to test himself in a different capacity within the soccer world.
The former Orlando Pirates coach has gone on to create history beyond Mzansi borders, with the 39-year-old tactician once again underlining his pedigree. Having already shown his capability during his spells at Mayfair and Chloorkop, the latest cup triumph with his current side came as no surprise to Pitso Mosimane, who had long foreseen Mokwena’s success and publicly backed him when he appointed him as his assistant at Sundowns.
The South Africa international endured torrid moments with the Buccaneers before being sent on loan to the Mswenko Boys at the beginning of the 2025/26 season, where he hoped to rediscover his form. A couple of days ago, the defending Premier Soccer League champions went for his services in their bid to bolster their squad.
Questions have been raised about the future of the 23-year-old striker. The young man, nicknamed the Radio-man, has seen his playing time at the Soweto giants limited due to stiff competition. The Radio-man's failure to capitalise on the initial opportunities afforded to him by coach Abdeslam Ouaddou at the beginning of the ongoing 2025/26 campaign.
The experienced coach is now at the helm of the Cape Winelands side after parting ways with Durban City midway through the 2025/26 season. He joins a team that often competes for the Premier Soccer League title despite having a modest squad and being a selling club losing key players to big clubs. The Maroons job comes with expectations maintain the standards created by his predecessor.
Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates, who arguably have quality players as opposed to Amakhosi, have already added a few new faces to their squads, as opposed to the Glamour Boys, who are seemingly happy with the playing unit. Their skipper is convinced the available men have what it takes to do the job effectively.
After months out of the dugout, the 50-year-old has landed a new job in Scandinavia. After a good stint with the Soweto giants, the Spaniard struggled with Al Ahly and was dismissed after a short period of time. Now, with a new club, the MTN8 winner must prove to the world that he is still a top coach by guiding the success-hungry team to more titles and that the Al Ahly period was just a temporary period of struggle in his career.
There has been a massive debate regarding the decision by the national team technical team to exclude Mshishi and Nyoso from the squad, which featured in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, where South Africa crashed out in the Round of 16, falling 2-1 against the five-time champions Cameroon.
Transfer activity has picked up in the Premier Soccer League as well as overseas, with several moves already capturing the attention of South African football followers. Players have been switching clubs both locally and abroad and more transfers are expected to be finalised in the coming days as clubs continue to reshape their squads.
The Soweto giants are on course to end the 2025/26 campaign with four major trophies in their cabinet. This comes after an impressive first half of the season, despite a setback in the CAF Champions League. The Buccaneers are now conducting their transfer business as they look to assemble a stronger squad for the remainder of the season.
The 20-year-old defender has been doing well for both club and country, explaining why he was snapped up by the Major League Soccer outfit from the Buccaneers, who gave him a chance in March 2025. The centre-back was part of the Bafana Bafana team that featured in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco, where they reached the Round of 16.
The South African Premier Soccer League has recently produced talented youngsters who have shown promise in the game, inviting interest from abroad where several teams have been chasing them. In the last couple of months, youngsters have left for Belgium as well as the Major League Soccer and, seemingly, this is not going to stop.
The Amakhosi starlet becomes another talent from the country to cross the border and join his international counterpart. Coincidentally, the club is owned by an Amakhosi legend, and the move by the youngster represents a connection of some sort between the club and the Soweto giants.
The 29-year-old did well for Stellenbosch under the then coach Steve Berker, who has since left Stellies for Simba SC in the Tanzanian Premier League. The attacker is set to help the Buccaneers in their bid to conquer the South African top-flight football, as well as the remaining domestic competitions.
The Buccaneers have been making quality signings in the short January transfer window as the management and the technical team are working harder to ensure they have enough arsenal to challenge Mamelodi Sundowns and Co. for the Premier Soccer League title in the ongoing 2025/2026 campaign after going for more than a decade without one.
The South Africa international has established himself as one of the elite forwards in the Premier Soccer League, but in the 2025/26 campaign, he has struggled for game time owing to stiff competition at Bucs, coupled with preferences by coach Abdeslam Ouaddou. The 29-year-old might have played his last game for the Soweto giants.
The Buccaneers are showing no intention of slowing down as they have made three signings in the short January transfer window, as they work on achieving their target of winning all the domestic competitions. Already, they have secured the MTN8 and the Carling Knockout, which happened before the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) break.
With the 2026 FIFA World Cup on the horizon, two Buccaneers attacking midfielders risk struggling for game time and missing out as competition for places intensifies within Abdeslam Ouaddou's squad. However, the New Zealander's arrival could spark some fierce competitiveness for the Soweto giants in the middle of the park. That added depth may also drive the Buccaneers side to mount a stronger push for the Premier Soccer League title.
The Premier Soccer League's transfer window has hit top gear with clubs strengthening from all angles as they work on meeting their set targets. Babina Noko, who did well before the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) break, are showing signs of going all the way with quality additions to their already impressive squad.
After what has been regarded as Bafana's poor performance in Morocco, South Africans have been left wondering whether their team is developing or regressing. Now, as the focus shifts to the 2026 World Cup finals, Bafana's supporters have been cautioned.
The former Royal AM owner, Shawn Mkhize, has wasted no time in making her presence felt at Highlanders, embarking on a South African shopping spree as the club moves swiftly in the January transfer window. In a bid to inject fresh energy and depth into the squad, the club has secured the services of several players, signalling a clear intent to strengthen their ranks and sharpen their competitiveness for the remainder of the season.
The defending champions resumed their campaign after a break and registered a convincing win against their opponents. Although they have the daunting task of closing in on the league leaders, Orlando Pirates, Amakhosi can use the morale from the huge win and string together a good run. Meanwhile, Sundowns failed to close in on the Sea Robbers after they dropped points.
With the Premier Soccer League entering its busiest stretch, all eyes are on the big three, and supporters are buzzing with curiosity over what the remainder of the season holds. Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates have already unveiled their new signings, leaving Chiefs fans eager and somewhat frustrated to see what moves their team will make.
