Gavin Hunt has wielded the axe after a disappointing season for the Winelands club that saw them battling relegation in the early part of the season, before going on a run under the veteran coach that saw them fall just short of a top eight finish.
The last day of league action was short on drama but did provide some goals, a great comeback and an almost, nearly incredible relegation great escape. With the last day done that's it for this season's Betway Premiership. Congratulations to champions Orlando Pirates and all the clubs who met their season objectives.
The future of South African football broadcasting has been handed a major boost following high-level discussions between the top flight league and the French media powerhouse who bought out DSTV. Concerns over the impact the takeover would have on the PSL's lucrative television rights have been widespread after the global broadcaster embarked on aggressive cost-cutting measures.
The talented winger's return to the bright lights of the Premier Soccer League started with a bang, but the former Amakhosi man has since found himself watching from the wings. After a high-profile comeback following a period of rehabilitation, the attacker has struggled to command a regular starting berth under the former Orlando Pirates captain.
Amakhosi have reportedly emerged as shock contenders to secure the signature of the Buccaneers frontman. The 29-year-old is currently spending the second half of the season on loan at the Winelands club, but with his contract situation at Mayfair still unresolved, several clubs are monitoring his situation.
The penultimate round of league fixtures saw three of the bottom four beaten to leave relegation and the play-off place up in the air for the last day of the season. Further up the table, MTN8 qualification was sealed, or enhanced for several clubs, leaving Siwelele, Stellenbosch, and Durban City fighting it out for the final spot.
The Masandawana midfielder has opened up about the growing pressure cooker inside Chloorkop, admitting that the heat is well and truly on the Tshwane giants as they gear up for a season-defining continental scrap. With the domestic race slipping through their fingers, the Brazilians find themselves in the rare, uncomfortable position of having to prove they haven't lost their clinical edge.
The goal poacher’s time with the Soweto giants appears to be coming to an end, but a massive career move could be on the horizon for the prolific striker. Libyan giants led by a South African mastermind have emerged as the frontrunners to secure his signature.
The battle to remain in the top flight remains pretty much as you were with nobody safe, or doomed as yet. In the CAF qualification race though, Arthur Zwane will be regretting his side's inability to put pressure on their rivals for the position.
The Sea Robbers former skipper Lucky Lekgwathi is adamant the team have finally found the momentum required to topple the Brazilians' long-standing rule over South African football. Following a massive week of results in the Betway Premiership, the legendary defender believes the trophy race is no longer a foregone conclusion but a battle that will go down to the absolute wire.
The Betway Premiership title race has taken a dramatic turn after the Brazilians dropped two points against the Sea Robbers on Wednesday. The former Amakhosi coach believes the tide has now swung strongly in favour of an in-form Abdeslam Ouaddou’s side.
The Sea Robbers kept the pressure on Masandawana with a clinical victory over Stellies, but the Bafana Bafana international is refusing to get carried away. The former Polokwane City FC winger has delivered a remarkably calm assessment of the title race as the season reaches its boiling point.
The Sea Robbers have officially fired a warning shot across the Premier Soccer League. After a ruthless, clinical display on the road in the Western Cape, the Buccaneers are now breathing down the necks of league leaders Mamelodi Sundowns, primed and ready to ignite a blockbuster finale to the 2025/26 title race.
The Soweto giants locked horns with Stellies at the sold-out Athlone Stadium, desperate for three points to keep their title aspirations alive. The Ghosts are in a heated title race with Masandawana, who are chasing a record ninth league title in a row, while The Ghost are gunning for the title to end their decade-long league drought. On the other hand, the Winelands outfit is on a hunt to finish in the Top Eight after a poor start to the 2025/26 season.
Downs winger is reportedly facing the prospect of another move away from Chloorkop as he struggles to establish himself during his current loan spell. The 26-year-old has found minutes hard to come by since returning to South Africa, leaving his long-term future with the Brazilians in doubt.
Masterchef’s future with the Sea Robbers is hanging in the balance as the 2025/26 season enters its final weeks. The midfielder, who joined the Buccaneers with high expectations, now faces the very real possibility of being shown the exit door after just one campaign in Soweto.
After an impressive month it was no surprise that the Bucs winger grabbed both prizes, which he would have deserved just for his cracker of a goal against AmaZulu. The Sundowns coach retained his title off the back of three wins and two draws as his side hit the summit of the league table at exactly the right time.
The Bucs legend has insisted that the battle for the Betway Premiership title is far from over despite the Brazilians' five-point advantage at the summit. The former player believes the upcoming clash between the log leaders and Kaizer Chiefs could be the turning point that keeps the Sea Robbers in the hunt.
GOAL gives you the details to follow the Premier Soccer League clash between the Maroons and Buccaneers at Athlone Stadium on Tuesday night. This is a must win match for the Soweto side if they have any hope of reeling in log leaders Mamelodi Sundowns.
The Brazilians hosted Rise and Shine at Loftus Versfeld Stadium on Sunday afternoon, gunning for maximum points to take a comfortable lead against the Sea Robbers in the chase for their ninth league title. On the other hand, the Limpopo-based side was not only looking to become the party poopers in the title race but also tighten their grip in the Top Eight.
The Citizens’ coach revealed that the youthful energy of Luphumlo ‘Kaka’ Sifumba was the driving force behind his side’s dramatic cup final triumph on Saturday. After trailing at the break, the Team of Choice staged a spirited second-half fightback in Polokwane to secure the silverware.
The Ke Yona Cup final delivered a fairytale finish on Saturday night as Durban City etched their name into South African football folklore. In a remarkable first season in the top flight, the newly promoted side capped off their dream campaign by lifting their first major piece of silverware, edging TS Galaxy 2-1 at the Peter Mokaba Stadium.
Downs midfield maestro has reflected on the psychological hurdles he faced during his early days at Chloorkop, admitting that the pressure of playing for the Brazilians was initially overwhelming. After a period in the wilderness that saw him lose his place in the national team, the 24-year-old has now emerged as a cornerstone of Miguel Cardoso’s tactical setup.
Darren Keet has confirmed he will retire from professional football at the end of the current season. The 36-year-old made the emotional announcement just moments after helping Durban City secure their first-ever Nedbank Cup title with a victory over TS Galaxy at the Peter Mokaba Stadium.
The Bucs boss has offered an honest evaluation of the current state of football in the country, claiming a lack of physical intensity is holding teams back. After a series of frustrating results for his side, the Moroccan tactician believes the local game must evolve to mirror the demands of continental competition.
With everything at stake in the Ke Yona final, the Rockets bore the burden of expectation as they aimed to steady a disappointing Premier Soccer League campaign and relive their greatest moment in the competition, lifting the trophy at Moses Mabhida Stadium against Kaizer Chiefs in 2019, back when they were still in the First National Division. On the other side, the league newcomers embraced a golden opportunity to write their names into the history books and end KwaZulu-Natal’s long wait for silverware, with a chance to reignite the province’s cup pedigree.
