From our football correspondent Steady

Market

Okuhle Majavu 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 The request is on a desk at Mamelodi Sundowns, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Ajax Cape Town come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Mamelodi Sundowns did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad

Tempers go at Mamelodi Sundowns

Ronwen Williams 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.

Player ratings

Themba Zwane 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.

Player ratings

The afternoon belonged to Iqraam Rayners

7.79, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Mamelodi Sundowns had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

Squad

Bennet Mokoena 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.

Squad

Nuno Santos gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match

Mamelodi Sundowns and Bloemfontein Celtic take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Market

The Matías Esquivel conversation is coming

Everyone has stopped pretending: Jomo Cosmos will make the call about Matías Esquivel this week. Mamelodi Sundowns have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.

Market

Mamelodi Sundowns say no — this time

The offer from Rangers International for Miguel Reisinho was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market

Oarabile Booysen 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.

Squad

Ronwen Williams 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 Mamelodi Sundowns this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Mothobi Mvala was immovable

22 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.

Squad

Marcelo Allende 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.

Match

Lebo Mothiba the difference as Mamelodi Sundowns beat Black Aces

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Lebo Mothiba. 1‑0 against Black Aces, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings

Marcelo Allende 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.

Market

El-Kanemi Warriors are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Mamelodi Sundowns will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Player ratings

A defender's afternoon for Khuliso Mudau

Defensive actions: 15. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.
