Amakhosi's bid to defend their title received another setback after they dropped points as their rivals, including Bucs, keep winning. Masandawana, on the other hand, were impressive as they outsmarted Usuthu to go just behind the Sea Robbers.
When the season began, Amakhosi looked like a solid and competitive outfit ready to challenge for more titles. However, they have been poor in recent games, and even their trophy-drought-ending coach has left, leaving untested assistants in charge.
After diminishing prospects of game time at Amakhosi, the duo was shipped out to the Bloemfontein-based side on loan for the rest of this season. They hope to enjoy more playing minutes and impress the coaches at Naturena and for the club to take them back for next term. But their current trainer talks about the challenges he encounters with the newboys.
The two players have had their Amakhosi debuts delayed following a boardroom battle as Cape Town Spurs contested their move to Naturena. They signed for the Soweto giants to banish the trend of transfer flops that has haunted the club. Expectations remain high on the duo, especially now that Chiefs have dropped in form.
Amakhosi and the Urban Warriors found themselves at loggerheads over the two players who wanted to leave following the latter's relegation. After a prolonged legal showdown, the players won, but what about the Chiefs-Spurs relationship?
The Sea Robbers' winning run was facing a real threat, but a late goal ensured they kept it and collected three more points as the season picks up speed. The victory saw them widen the gap with second-placed Richards Bay.
The Warriors were determined to stop Hugo Broos' men from getting maximum points in the recent meeting. The COSAFA rivals met in Durban, but it was the visitors who came with hopes of getting maximum points to keep alive their hope of competing with the best in the world. The hosts had already been eliminated and stood no chance of making it to the summit.
The Soweto giants have cleared the air on the composition of their technical team for the rest of the 2025/26 season. They have officially parted ways with the men who were their head coach and are now preparing to begin a new chapter with trainers who know they are left to be fully in charge of the team.
After being frustrated by the Warriors, Bafana's hopes now largely depend on the results from Nigeria and Benin. The Super Eagles will host their West African counterparts in a match that carries a lot of stakes in determining the winner of the group.
After over one season under the Tunisian, Amakhosi are set to begin a new era since the tactician has left the club. As the spotlight focuses on the Glamour Boys under their co-coaches, fans will be eager to see where Nabi will head after leaving PSL.
The former Cape Town City forward has struggled to impress the South Africa national team coach even when he was in top goal-scoring form. His situation with the Belgian became worse when he moved to North Africa, where he could not replicate the form that saw him being scouted from the PSL. Now, his father gives him some advice.
Although he was heavily linked with Amakhosi, the former Mamelodi Sundowns star ended up signing for Buccaneers. The Bafana midfielder has gone on to stamp authority in Bucs' first team despite the competition for starting berths in the team.
What started promising to be a dream season for the 21-year-old is turning out to be limited opportunities to show his worth in this Amakhosi side. Having failed to keep Zitha Kwinika on the bench, McCarthy will be hoping the return of Rushwin Dortley and Given Msimango will not further complicate his dream to become an Amakhosi regular starter.
The Glamour Boys have been without a coach for the last couple of weeks, after the suspension of the Tunisian due to unspecified reasons. Cedric Kaze and Khalil Ben Youssef have been in charge of the Soweto giants, who are competing domestically and abroad. In a recent statement from Naturena, the management has now confirmed the changes effective immidiately.
The former Cameroon coach was forced to make another change to his squad after another key player was ruled out. To fill the gap, the tactician considered the Sea Robber, whom he believes is up to the task.
Harambee Stars only managed a slim win, even though, they faced a side numerically disadvantaged for the better part of the game. Burundi had to face Kenya without their striker, who was sent off just as the game began for a dangerous tackle on his opponent.
The 19-year-old was one of the best-performing South Africa players in Chile as he seemed to be sending a message to his Amakhosi coaches. He might have succeeded in proving that he can be on top of his game in another environment. Now, a former coach of the Soweto giants who gave the player his breakthrough wants him to play more at club level.
The former defender has compared the PSL's Big Three and said the Glamour Boys have some ground to cover in order to be at the same level with the other two. Amakhosi and Bucs started the season on different trajectories, but the fortunes have flipped as the former struggle and the latter are enjoying a positive run.
The Soweto giants have left fans scrutinising the state of their dressing after one of their goalkeepers defied orders from co-coaches Cedric Kaze and Khalil Ben Youssef, as well as goalkeeper trainer Ilyes Mzoughi. It is a much-talked-about incident as the Soweto giants went on to lose and miss out on the chance for a first major trophy of the season.
The 32-year-old has missed just two of the 11 matches Amakhosi have played so far this season. But he appears to be struggling to make a big impact with no goals to his name and just one assist. That has left his former coach during his time in development football saying the Soweto giants are deploying him incorrectly.
The young defender's wonder strike ultimately proved to be the winner in a hard-fought 1-0 victory for the Buccaneers and is the type of goal you can watch again and again and again.
The 11-day tour will see the Glamour Boys take part in three games before taking a tour in London, including a visit to Premier League offices. Amakhosi's young stars will also have an opportunity to watch a league game between Leeds United and Chelsea.
The players have been engaged with their former club in a legal showdown over their contractual status, and this delayed their appearance for Amakhosi. The decision has now been made after the players and the Soweto giants had been kept waiting to know their fate.
