The Soweto giants' forwards struggled against AmaZulu goalkeeper Darren Johnson, who was solid between the sticks on an evening he saved a penalty and pulled off some crucial saves. It was two points dropped at home by Amakhosi who have now gone for three successive Premier Soccer League games without winning.
Amakhosi were among the busiest sides in the transfer window, and what influenced their choices for new signings has been revealed. The ability to withstand criticism and pressure, especially on social media, is one of the traits the club considered while drafting their transfer list, according to their coach.
After finding itself receiving heavy criticism after Bafana were punished, the football association is staring at yet another tough case. The delay in conclusively dealing with appeals involving players has now emerged as another challenge SAFA is facing as the local players union says enough is enough..
The forward has established himself as one of the key players of his current club, and this is the reason he was massively linked with Amakhosi. Although he did not sign for the Glamour Boys in the last transfer window, he maintains his dream to play for one of the PSL heavyweights is valid.
The relationship between Kaizer Chiefs and their head coach, Nasreddine Nabi, appears to be over, although the club has yet to make this official. The Tunisian coach is on the verge of mutually parting ways with Amakhosi following a lack of trust between the two parties and licensing issues.
Struggling Chilli Boys managed to add a point to their tally, but it was not enough to lift them out of the relegation zone. The Maroons, on the other hand, were unable to end their winless run, meaning they are just above the red zone.
Durban City now have the same points as Orlando Pirates after a goalless draw against Stellenbosch, while Chilli Boys collected a point that took them above Siwelele FC, although they remain in the relegation zone.
The 28-year-old had been strongly tipped to join the Buccaneers on the transfer deadline day, Monday, September 22, but things did not work out as anticipated. The Soweto giants needed another body in midfield especially in the creative department.
From blockbuster arrivals to messy departures, the 2025/26 Premier Soccer League transfer window had it all. Amakhosi made a statement, the Buccaneers reloaded and Masandawana were rocked by the Ribeiro saga.
The Sea Robbers have strengthened the playing unit with more than 10 new signings so far, but it seems they are not done yet. As the clock ticks towards the deadline, Bucs look to sign another PSL star.
Premier Soccer League action continues as the title race is slowly taking shape with teams separating each other. Log leaders Babina Noko remain unbeaten in this campaign after securing maximum points on Saturday at home against visiting Abafana Bes'thende. At the other end of the table, some teams are already in the battle to stay safe.
Midweek action in South Africa’s top flight delivered standout performances and dramatic moments, setting the stage for an exciting weekend of league football. Meanwhile, continental duties await giants Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs.
It has been revealed that the former Milford star has keen admirers at the Naturena-based giants after making a good start to life in the PSL. Mthinyane has quickly established himself as a key player for Steve Barker's side who are a selling club.
Orlando Pirates coach Abdeslam has made all of his doubters eat humble pie after delivering a trophy for the Buccaneers in his maiden campaign. There were plenty of sceptics when the Moroccan took over the reins from Spanish coach Jose Riveiro, who had enjoyed plenty of success with the Sea Robbers.
The Soweto giants last won the Premier Soccer League title in 2012 and have been finishing as runners-up to Masandawana for the last three seasons. Coach Abdeslam Ouaddou is tasked to break the Brazilians' dominance of the PSL after his predecessors like Jose Riveiro, Rhulani Mokwena, Muhsin Ertugral, Eric Tinkler, Roger de Sa, Milutin Sredojevic and Josef Zinnbauer failed to deliver the biggest trophy in South African football.
Despite his reign with the Sea Robbers starting on shaky ground, the tactician has succeeded in stabilising the team and just defended their domestic trophy.
The Buccaneers dominated extra time, shutting down every threat from the Cape Winelands side to successfully defend their title for a fourth consecutive year.
At just 19 years old, the bulky youngster has been making headlines owing to his mature showings for both the Buccaneers and Bafana Bafana. Is he the next big thing coming from Mzansi football?
The Soweto giants have now secured four titles in as many years! Stellies ran out of the gas in the extra time as Abdeslam Ouaddou got a relief after being involved in an accident.
The winger has been excellent in the top-tier after getting a grrenlight to extend his deal with the current team. The attacker is just among the many talents that have been coming out of the Bucs feeder club.
The Sea Robbers waited until extra time to put the game beyond doubt, scoring three times to extend their MTN8 dominance and claim yet another title in front of a packed Mbombela Stadium on Saturday, 13 September.
The Soweto giants have become the dream club for a player who has made his mark in England and is regarded as one of the best in his position on the African continent. He has made the Sea Robbers his priority team and does not see himself playing for any other Premier Soccer League side. The star midfielder, however, seems to still some years playing in Europe.
The Soweto giants come up against the Cape Winelands side on neutral ground and the winner becomes the first team to win a piece of silverware this season. That makes the stakes very high in this battle against the two ambitious teams. The Buccaneers are this competition's defending champions as they face the Maroons who they beat in last seasom's final.
In a bid to win and make history in the domestic competition, Ouaddou has been urged to field certain players that are capable of outclassing Stellies.
