South African Football Association (SAFA) Vice-President Linda Zwane has launched a staunch defence of Danny Jordaan, dismissing claims that the long-standing president sidelines his deputies. As the elective congress approaches, Zwane insists that those in leadership must learn to manage their personal goals to maintain organisational stability.
South Africa’s national team stars have taken a selfless stand following their World Cup campaign, insisting that a significant portion of their tournament earnings be funnelled back into the country's youth structures. Rather than focusing solely on their own financial gain, the national team squad is prioritising the future of the domestic game to ensure the next generation of talent has the resources to thrive.
The Soweto giants secured the signature of the highly rated Stellenbosch winger, but the outspoken analyst has reservations about the move. While he is a fan of the youngster's talent, he believes the current squad lacks the necessary personnel to help him thrive.
The 75-year-old is facing a difficult period as he battles significant health challenges. A prominent government official has now stepped forward to urge the South African public and the corporate sector to provide necessary support for the legendary tactician.
The Sea Robbers legend has launched a scathing attack on football agents, accusing them of 'snatching' young talent from hardworking academies without contributing to their development. The former Buccaneers left-back expressed his frustration after seeing his developmental efforts undermined by representatives looking for a quick payday.
The Buccaneers may have already secured the long-term successor to Monnapule Saleng following the star winger's high-profile move to Mamelodi Sundowns earlier this year. Former Amabhakabhaka forward James Mothibi is adamant that the Soweto giants have a ready-made replacement waiting in the wings in the form of teenager Thapelo 'Sugar' Duiker.
Usuthu boss has broken his silence regarding the intensifying rumours linking him with the presidency of the South African Football Association (SAFA). The prominent businessman confirmed he has been tipped to take over the reins at Nasrec but insisted his immediate focus remains in Durban.
The 61-year-old is once again being heavily linked with a return to international management after he emerged as a top candidate for The Eagles. But having just acquired the status of Gauteng Development League team East Rand Athletic FC as part of his football academy project it appears 'Jingles' is more focused on producing future Bafana Bafana stars than coaching current internationals.
