I have an issue with the PSL prosecutor. Nothing personal mind you, just that I am concerned about the period it takes him to hand down judgement on cases of misconduct either by club officials or football supporters. This week he found Mamelodi Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane guilty of “Violent Conduct” during a match against AmaZulu....
The African Champions League has reached a stage where one can safely describe it as “Eat or be eaten” with the best eight teams remaining in the most prestigious of the two Pan-African club competitions. It is perhaps worth mentioning that Mamelodi Sundowns is the only southern African side remaining in the competition where the quarter-final...
Mamelodi Sundowns have done their homework on the aptly named Equatorial Guinean champions – Liones Vegetarianos – who host them in the preliminary tie of the African Champions League in Malabo on Wednesday. Newly appointed Black Leopards coach, a former Arcadia Shepherds left wingback Dylan Kerr, revealed that he received a call from Sundowns coach Pitso...
Zimbabwe remained top of Group G with eight points, but their dreams of securing qualification to the African Cup of Nations finals in Cameroon have been delayed by a spirited Liberia who handed the Warriors a 1-0 defeat in Monrovia on Sunday.

Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane commented in the past that a team’s true character gets tested when...
Hips don’t lie, and if you do not believe that statement, just ask Isabel Mebarak Ripoll, better known globally and in musical circles as “Shakira,” and she will tell you she is so sexy that she is every man’s fantasy. Now, just like Shakira’s contention about hips, statistics as well do not lie. On the eve...
Township Rollers President Jagdish Shah has confirmed that temperamental Serbian coach Nikola Kavazovic has parted ways with the Botswana Premier League after www.thomaskwenaite.co.za had hinted a fortnight ago that he was on his way out. Kavazovic had allegedly increasingly grown unpopular and continuously clashed with players while the general working relationship with the rest of the...
I thought perhaps old age had caught up with me, that I had become senile and my eyesight had become blurry as I watch the pathetic fare dished out on a daily basis by so-called “international” coaches in the South African Premier League. Even former national coach Shakes Mashaba came short of calling some of the...
