David Lukhele says Golden Arrows went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market15 Jul 2030

Mpendulo Dlamini is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Golden Arrows is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Siyanda Ndlovu in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Golden Arrows this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Jayden Van der Walt has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Golden Arrows they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Tempers go at Golden Arrows

Siyanda Ndlovu was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad24 Jun 2030

Justice Apaingolo out for 113 days

The medical room confirms 113 days on the sidelines for Justice Apaingolo, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Nobody could get near Siyanda Ndlovu

Successful dribbles: 32. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Thakasani Mbanjwa keeps Golden Arrows in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad3 Dec 2029

Siphamandla Sabelo keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Golden Arrows may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Match1 Dec 2029

No end in sight to Golden Arrows's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Golden Arrows has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad3 Dec 2029

Nduduzo Sibiya signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Nduduzo Sibiya commits to Golden Arrows for another 2 years.

Tempers go at Golden Arrows

Siyanda Ndlovu was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match1 Dec 2029

Golden Arrows and Jomo Cosmos cancel each other out

Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Jomo Cosmos came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.

Player ratings3 Dec 2029

Angelo Van Rooi leaves them behind him

Shots: 9. Goals: none. The chances were there and they were good ones, and they went into the stand, the goalkeeper's arms and the side netting in roughly that order.

Sinoxolo Kwayiba leaves them behind him

Shots: 5. Goals: none. The chances were there and they were good ones, and they went into the stand, the goalkeeper's arms and the side netting in roughly that order.

A one-man rearguard from Thakasani Mbanjwa

There were 9 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Jayden Van der Walt puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Golden Arrows, and it is not being withdrawn.

Tempers go at Golden Arrows

Siyanda Ndlovu was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match11 Aug 2029

Siyanda Ndlovu sends Golden Arrows past Bloemfontein Celtic

It finished 3‑2, and it was Siyanda Ndlovu’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Golden Arrows.

Player ratings13 Aug 2029

One of those days for Siyanda Ndlovu

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.22, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

One of those days for Nduduzo Sibiya

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.05, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Zeke Felix signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Zeke Felix and Golden Arrows agree another 4 years.

Market13 Aug 2029

The Nkosi Gumede conversation is coming

Everyone has stopped pretending: Chippa United will make the call about Nkosi Gumede this week. Golden Arrows have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.

Squad13 Aug 2029

Siyanda Ndlovu finally opens his account

He wheeled away like a man who had been carrying it for months, because he had. Golden Arrows have their signing off the mark and one press-conference question retired.
