The Mamelodi Sundowns Sentinel

27 Jan 2031
From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad27 Jan 2031

Tashreeq Matthews is carrying Mamelodi Sundowns

24 goals and a season average of 7.84. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Transfer targets27 Jan 2031

Fee done, terms next for Nkosingiphile Ngcobo

Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs have settled on $8.6M. The rest belongs to the player and his agent, and a supporter who has watched one of these before knows not to buy the shirt yet.

Match27 Jan 2031

Nobody above Mamelodi Sundowns

First, on 66 points. The table is a fact and a fact is allowed to be enjoyed, which is as far as anybody at the club is prepared to go in public.

Transfer targets27 Jan 2031

Mamelodi Sundowns rebuffed over Lorenzo Palmisani

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Dynamo Kyiv have kept their man, and Mamelodi Sundowns go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad27 Jan 2031

Slim Bouaskar stands alone

8 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Market27 Jan 2031

Tshepang Moremi has said yes to University of Pretoria

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Mamelodi Sundowns have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Market27 Jan 2031

Cemran Dansin hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Mamelodi Sundowns can pretend not to have heard.

Transfer targets27 Jan 2031

Mamelodi Sundowns bid $6.7M for Trey Nyoni

The offer went to Anderlecht this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Market27 Jan 2031

Cemran Dansin has one foot out of the door

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

The Mamelodi Sundowns Sentinel

30 Dec 2030
From our football correspondent Triumph

Squad30 Dec 2030

Liel Abada is carrying Mamelodi Sundowns

39 goals and a season average of 8.07. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Player ratings30 Dec 2030

Liel Abada scores twice — 9.83

Two goals and a mark of 9.83 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Match30 Dec 2030

Nobody above Mamelodi Sundowns

First, on 57 points. The table is a fact and a fact is allowed to be enjoyed, which is as far as anybody at the club is prepared to go in public.

Match28 Dec 2030

Mamelodi Sundowns cannot stop winning

7 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Market30 Dec 2030

Liel Abada’s move to Racing Club falls through

The deal that would have taken Liel Abada to Racing Club has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to Mamelodi Sundowns with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Squad30 Dec 2030

3 goals for Tashreeq Matthews

The match ball belongs to Tashreeq Matthews, whose 3 goals turned a difficult afternoon into a procession.

Squad30 Dec 2030

22 days out for Ramahlwe Dolly after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Mamelodi Sundowns will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Market30 Dec 2030

Only the photograph left for Cemran Dansin

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Cemran Dansin will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Mamelodi Sundowns the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Market30 Dec 2030

Simon Ramabu asks to leave Mamelodi Sundowns

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

The Orlando Pirates Chronicle

30 Dec 2030
From our football correspondent Steady

Player ratings30 Dec 2030

Oswin Appollis scores twice — 8.34

Two goals and a mark of 8.34 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Squad30 Dec 2030

7 saves: Matthew Young was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 7 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Market30 Dec 2030

Dylan Salvo has one foot out of the door

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

Market30 Dec 2030

Serge Badjo asks to leave Orlando Pirates

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

The dugout30 Dec 2030

Sabelo Sithole: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Orlando Pirates have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market30 Dec 2030

Simphiwe Selepe wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Orlando Pirates hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Match28 Dec 2030

A bad afternoon for Orlando Pirates against Mamelodi Sundowns

4‑6 to Mamelodi Sundowns, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad30 Dec 2030

A falling-out at Orlando Pirates

Oswin Appollis and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match28 Dec 2030

10 goals as Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 10 goals between Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Market11 Mar 2030

Thamsanqa Lorch asks to leave Mamelodi Sundowns

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market11 Mar 2030

Gabriel Osho is on his way

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

Squad11 Mar 2030

Words exchanged at Mamelodi Sundowns

Khuliso Mudau and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad11 Mar 2030

Adama Dramé gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Adama Dramé has just signed for Mamelodi Sundowns, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad11 Mar 2030

A row about effort at Mamelodi Sundowns

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Mandla Grobler was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad11 Mar 2030

Too much change too quickly at Mamelodi Sundowns

16 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

The dugout11 Mar 2030

The manager makes an example of Brayan León

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Market11 Mar 2030

No place for Kegan Johannes in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Kegan Johannes has his answer from Mamelodi Sundowns; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

The dugout11 Mar 2030

Mandla Grobler gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Mandla Grobler is on it.
