Siwelele Overview

The Sundowns goalkeeper has leaped to the defence of the national team coach following a wave of criticism in the wake of South Africa's opening World Cup defeat. The Belgian mentor has come under fire for his tactical approach after the national team slumped to a 2-0 loss against tournament co-hosts Mexico at the iconic Estadio Azteca.

The Buccaneers have secured the services of the teenage winger but have been warned by his Siwelele mentor that the step up to the Soweto giants will require significant mental and technical growth but the 19-year-old possesses the raw ingredients to succeed if he can handle the immense pressure of the Mayfair spotlight.

The young midfielder remains one of the most intriguing prospects in South African football, yet his path to becoming a permanent fixture at Naturena has hit several roadblocks. After spending a season away on loan, the midfield Ace is now facing a definitive crossroads in his Amakhosi career as he looks to reclaim the form that once made him a fan favourite.

Mlungisi "Professor" Ngubane has offered a scathing assessment of the Buccaneers' latest transfer activity following a busy period of arrivals and departures at the Soweto giants. Despite the team’s recent success on the pitch, the retired midfielder remains unconvinced by the profile of the players being drafted into the squad.
