A fracture rules Siyabonga Mashinini out for 77 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Polokwane City will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Ditebogo Sibanda 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 The request is on a desk at Polokwane City, and it is not being withdrawn.

Tlou Nkwe ran the middle of the pitch — 6.94
He won it back and then made something of it, which is two jobs and the reason the scoreline looks the way it does. 9 combined actions and a mark of 6.94, and not one of them will make a highlights package.

Words at Polokwane City training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Kambala 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.

Polokwane City and Orlando Pirates take a point apiece
It finished 2‑2, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.
In brief
- The dugout The manager’s verdict
