Bala Town Descripción general

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.

Former Buccaneers captain Benson Mhlongo has heaped praise on the current squad after an extraordinary season that saw the Sea Robbers sweep domestic silverware. The club legend believes the strategic integration of young talent has been the defining factor in returning the Premiership title to Mayfair.

The road to the 2026 FIFA World Cup has been anything but smooth sailing for the 24-year-old winger whose career once hung by a thread following a period of unemployment and multiple rejections. Now a key figure for Bafana Bafana, the 24-year-old’s rise serves as a testament to resilience after nearly walking away from the game entirely.

The highly-rated attacker has officially confirmed his departure from the Israeli outfit, sparking fresh questions regarding his long-term future with the Buccaneers. The Congolese playmaker spent the 2025/26 campaign away from Mayfair in a bid to revitalise his career following a frustrating period of limited game time in the South African top flight.
