Marked for Ethan Visagie

14 Edition

The AS Bakaridjan Courier

2 Nov 2026
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad2 Nov 2026

No hiding place for Ethan Visagie

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Ethan Visagie, and the manager let it.

Player ratings2 Nov 2026

Makan Camara runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 17. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market2 Nov 2026

Still no ink between AS Bakaridjan and Samuel Okon

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at AS Bakaridjan, another week without a signature from Samuel Okon.

Squad2 Nov 2026

AS Bakaridjan pick somebody else ahead of Chemseddine Nessakh

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Player ratings2 Nov 2026

El Mehdi El Bassil was the difference for AS Bakaridjan

Marked 7.15. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Boardroom2 Nov 2026

AS Bakaridjan counting the cost

The accounts make uncomfortable reading. Wages first and ambition second is the order of business at AS Bakaridjan now.

The Orlando Pirates Chronicle

5 Oct 2026
From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad5 Oct 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Kabelo Dlamini

21 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Orlando Pirates lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

Oswin Appollis runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 25. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match3 Oct 2026

Orlando Pirates make it 3 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Orlando Pirates have 3 straight wins of it.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Oswin Appollis falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Yanela Mbuthuma 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 Orlando Pirates this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match3 Oct 2026

Kabelo Moagi the difference as Orlando Pirates beat Maritzburg United

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Kabelo Moagi. 1‑0 against Maritzburg United, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Squad5 Oct 2026

The month belongs to Tshepang Moremi

The award is a small thing with a heavy meaning: for four weeks nobody in this division did his job better. Orlando Pirates have the trophy on a shelf and the player in the side.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

Tshepang Moremi was the difference for Orlando Pirates

Marked 7.58. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Boardroom5 Oct 2026

91% of the income goes out in wages at Orlando Pirates

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

The Orlando Pirates Chronicle

From our football correspondent Steady

Match19 Sep 2026

Still nobody has beaten Orlando Pirates

The unbeaten run reaches 8. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Oswin Appollis 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 Orlando Pirates this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Ntokozo Dlamini is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 19 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Nobody could get near Andre de Jong

Successful dribbles: 21. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match19 Sep 2026

Orlando Pirates get the job done against Polokwane City

A 2‑1 win over Polokwane City, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

A masterclass from Tshepang Moremi

Marked 8.50 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Words at Orlando Pirates training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Nkosinathi Sibisi is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Oswin Appollis was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.08. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Kamogelo Sebelebele dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

In brief
