Former Amakhosi star Siphiwe Tshabalala has called on South African football to undergo a significant transformation in standards following the conclusion of the 2026 World Cup. The legendary winger, who famously scored the opening goal of the 2010 tournament, believes the domestic game must evolve to match the elite quality displayed on the global stage.

The former Kaizer Chiefs co-coach is adamant that his tactical evolution can keep the club among the South African elite this season. The Tunisian tactician has wasted no time in implementing a more expansive philosophy as he looks to build on the foundations laid during the club's debut top-flight campaign.

The Soweto giants have already added to their squad in the current transfer window, but Amakhosi legend believes the club cannot afford to stop there. The iconic midfielder insists the Glamour Boys must continue strengthening their squad if they are to match the quality and depth of South Africa's top sides.

The team’s former skipper Lucky Lekgwathi has boldly predicted that the Buccaneers will dominate South African football once again by securing a sensational treble repeat. As the Betway Premiership prepares for kick-off this weekend, the legendary defender believes the Soweto giants have everything in place to maintain their domestic stranglehold.
