Nedbank Cup Quarter-Finals Revealed

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. This year marks the first time since 2008/09 that none of the big three have reached the quarter-finals of the competition, and only the second time since Nedbank have taken over as sponsor. Defending champions Kaizer Chiefs were already knocked out in the Round of 32, losing 2-1 to Stellenbosch FC – with Stellies themselves knocked out by Golden Arrows this weekend. In addition, Mamelodi Sundowns were eliminated by TS Galaxy, losing 2-0 on Saturday,

Monyane Hits Back Over Kung-Fu Kick

Kaizer Chiefs defender Thabiso Monyane has warned that the next time he attempts an acrobatic effort at goal, there shouldn’t be surprises if he scores. Monyane was in a bouyant mood on Monday afternoon at the Village, as Chiefs hosted the media ahead of their home game against Stellenbosch at FNB Stadium on Tuesday. The striker-turned-wing-back was subject of banter for several weeks online after he missed a scissors kick effort completely against Stellenbosch, which was turned into memes on social media. However, the former Orlando Pirates man seemed to take the humorous side of the situation; “I mean it’s

Kanu Tips Chippa Star For Bafana World Cup Squad

Chippa United head coach Vusumuzi Vilakazi has confirmed that national team selectors are having a look at club goalkeeper Dumisani Msibi following his recent outstanding performances. The Chilli Boys seem to have turned the corner after going five matches without a defeat and moved away from the relegation zone. This has also seen Msibi step up and impress by keeping five consecutive clean sheets after the shock exit of Stanley Nwabali. Msibi’s performances come at the right time as the FIFA World Cup is just four months away and Vilakazi hopes that he can be consistent and hopefully makes the

Featured, Local, Nedbank Cup

iDiski TV analysts Junior Khanye and Benedict Vilakazi believe that Orlando Pirates coach Abdeslam Ouaddou will be under pressure in the second half of the season especially after their Nedbank Cup exit. The Buccaneers were held to a goalless draw in 120 minutes by Motsepe Foundation Championship side Casric Stars who eventually eliminated them in a penalty shootout at the Orlando Amstel Arena over the weekend. Now they only have the Betway Premiership title to fight for though they have secured two domestic cups already this campaign. Khanye says the pressure will mount especially because of the quality of players

Chiefs Coach Gives Injury Update, 2 Players Out

Kaizer Chiefs coach Khalil Ben Youssef has confirmed that two players are sidelined for their clash with Stellenbosch FC on Tuesday. Amakhosi come into this game after a nine-day gap following their exit from the CAF Confederations Cup after their 2-1 defeat to Zamalek. With Chiefs also being knocked out of the Nedbank Cup already by Tuesday’s opponents, who themselves lost in the next round to Golden Arrows this past weekend, the Glamour Boys only have the league left to play for. Chiefs currently sit in fourth place in the Betway Premiership with 30 points, eight behind leaders Orlando Pirates

Betway Premiership, Featured, Local

AmaZulu head coach Arthur Zwane says they have to show no respect to Mamelodi Sundowns and prove they are at home when the two sides meet this midweek. The two teams, who are in the top five of the Betway Premiership standings, are set to face off on Tuesday at the Moses Mabhida Stadium at 19:30. The last time they met, Usuthu suffered a 2–0 defeat in the first round at Lucas Moripe Stadium in Pretoria.

Tinkler On The Experience Phiri Brings

Sekhukhune United head coach Eric Tinkler has opened up on the experience that Lebogang Phiri brings to the team. Phiri completed a move to Babina Noko in the January transfer window after spending eight months without a club. The former Bafana Bafana midfielder spent most of his career playing in Denmark, Turkey and France. The 31-year-old has returned to South Africa and hopes to play a huge role to help Sekhukhune achieve what they haven’t achieved which is to win a trophy. Tinkler emphasized the importance of signing Phiri and how quickly they threw him into the deep end. “We

SA Winger Fires Beveren To Promotion In Belgium

South African winger Kurt Abrahams has fired SK Beveren to top-flight promotion as he continued his impressive run of form since returning to Belgium. Abrahams, 29, returned to the country where he made his name after nearly two years in Serbia with Novi Pazar and Sloboda Uzice where he struggled to adapt to the league. However, the diminutive attacker, who was previously on the books of Sint-Truiden, KVC Westerlo and KMSK Deinze, returned and has been an inspiring signing by Beveren. With 11 goals and seven assists since his arrival in December 2024, he’s become an ever-present figure in the

Parker – Why Foster Missed Chelsea Clash

Burnley head coach Scott Parker has revealed striker Lyle Foster was unable to feature against Chelsea due to an illness that spread through the squad. The Bafana Bafana striker was a notable omission from the match-day squad as the Clarets secured a point at Stamford Bridge, netting a stoppage time equaliser in the 1-1 draw in London. Foster has only missed three games this season, due to illness and a muscular strain, with the exception of the four league games during December-January where he was on international duty at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. “He was struggling a little
