How The HONOR X9d Keeps Up With Champions On And Off The Field

Elite sport looks different today. Preparation no longer ends when training does. Athletes move between sessions, video review, travel, recovery and constant communication. Technology now sits quietly inside that routine, supporting the work that happens before the spotlight. Across very different disciplines, the same truth applies. Performance is built in the hours between competitions. Rayno Nel, crowned World’s Strongest Man 2025, trains in demanding outdoor environments where dust, heat and impact are part of the job. Ronwen Williams, captain of Bafana Bafana and goalkeeper for Mamelodi Sundowns, operates in a world of split-second decisions, repetition and tactical detail. Technology can

Hunt On Chiefs – We Have To Get Good Result

Stellenbosch FC head coach Gavin Hunt says they will do their utmost to get the desired result against Kaizer Chiefs in the Betway Premiership. Amakhosi will welcome Stellies to FNB Stadium on Tuesday in what will now be their fourth meeting of the season. Chiefs won the first-round league match before the Cape Winelands side knocked them out of both the Carling Knockout Cup and the Nedbank Cup. Hunt says their previous meeting against Chiefs, where his side won 2–1 in the Nedbank Cup, will have no impact on this match. He stated that it is “vitally important” to come

Ndamane On Facing AmaZulu After Nedbank Cup Disappointment

Mamelodi Sundowns defender Khulumani Ndamane has opened up about facing AmaZulu shortly after being eliminated from the Nedbank Cup. The Brazilians suffered a 2–0 defeat on Saturday afternoon at the hands of Ndamane’s former club, TS Galaxy. However, the Sahlumbe-born centre-back did not feature in the match. They now turn their focus to the Betway Premiership on Tuesday, taking on Usuthu at the Moses Mabhida Stadium, with kick-off scheduled for 19:30. Ndamane said the team was down after bowing out of the Nedbank Cup, but the coach lifted their spirits as they look to continue their good run in the

Kwinika – This Is Not About Revenge

Kaizer Chiefs defender Zitha Kwinika focuses more on playing the game and not thinking about the revenge against Stellenbosch FC. Two weeks ago, Stellenbosch eliminated Chiefs out of the Nedbank Cup beating them 2-1. This wasn’t the first time this season Stellies beating Chiefs in a cup game, back in October the Cape Winelands side were victorious via penalties at the DHL Stadium during the Carling Knockout Cup. One would take this league fixture as a revenge but as for experienced Kwinika it isn’t about that, it is all about learning from the previous game and correcting the mistakes. Amakhosi

Ben Youssef – Chiefs Can Win The Title

Kaizer Chiefs coach Khalil Ben Youssef says they have to compete for the league title with 15 games remaining. With Chiefs being eliminated from the Nedbank Cup and the CAF Confederation Cup in the space of a week – the league is the only possibility for silverware in the 2025/26 season. Given that Chiefs are eight points off league leaders Orlando Pirates, with two games in hand – they are within touching distance with a credible two points per game ratio at the half-way mark, a far cry from the side who finished 10th last season. And with Ben Youssef

Hlungwani Delivers Verdict On Ndamane Vs Maswanganyi Incident

Betway Premiership, Featured, Local

Former PSL referee Victor Hlungwani has applauded Jelly Chavani for his bravery in not awarding Orlando Pirates a penalty against Mamelodi Sundowns. A certain section of the Buccaneers fans felt hard done by Chavani’s decision to wave play on after Khulumani Ndamane tackled Patrick Maswanganyi in the box. According to Hlungwani, Ndamane got the ball even though it had looked like a reckless tackle with replay also showing the Sundowns left-back had cleanly won the battle against Maswanganyi. Speaking on Soccerzone, “The Principal” says Chavani was correct in his decision because Ndamani did not commit any offence but instead won

Chiefs Trio Skating On Thin Ice For Soweto Derby

Kaizer Chiefs trio Aden McCarthy, Sibongiseni Mthethwa and Mfundo Vilakazi are just one booking away from missing out on this coming weekend’s Soweto Derby. Amakhosi and Orlando Pirates will once again renew their rivalry with three points and bragging rights at stake for the biggest fixture on the local football calendar. Before Chiefs take to the pitch against their fiercest nemesis, they have a league fixture to honour at the Calabash on Tuesday evening against Stellenbosch FC with revenge locked in the back of their minds after the Cape Winelands outfit dumped Amakhosi out of the Carling Knockout and Nedbank

Zwane Makes Bold Claim About Ngezana’s Chiefs Stint

Betway Premiership, Featured, Local

AmaZulu FC coach Arthur Zwane says Bafana Bafana defender Siyabonga Ngezana was the “best defender” in the team when he coached Kaizer Chiefs, despite the criticism at the time. Zwane and Ngezana worked together in the Chiefs development side prior to their time in the senior squad. The centre-back moved to Romania, at the beginning of the 2023/24 season, signing for FCSB. He has cemented his spot as a regular for the team and has also earned a place in Hugo Broos’ Bafana Bafana squad. Zwane says opinions were divided when he pushed Ngezana hard—some accused him of trying to ruin the player,

Featured, Local, Nedbank Cup

The Nedbank Cup quarter-finals were drawn on Monday evening, with a new winner set to be crowned after South Africa’s top three were eliminated already.

In addition, Mamelodi Sundowns were eliminated by TS Galaxy, losing 2-0 on Saturday,
