Market

Black Aces break the bank for Jesse Gewer

$130.0K. No player has ever cost Black Aces more, and expectation arrives with him.

Market

The unthinkable, invoiced: Itumeleng Vilakazi sold

Platinum Stars arrived with $390.0K and left with the best player in the building. The board will call it business; the queue at the ticket office will use other words.

The terraces

Black Aces sell a favourite for $390.0K

The accountants will call it good business and they will be right, which is not the point anybody outside the boardroom is making. Itumeleng Vilakazi was one of the reasons people came, and $390.0K does not replace that by itself.

Squad

Real improvement from Rivaldo Mokoena at Black Aces

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Rivaldo Mokoena is 23, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Zolani Nkombelo 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 Black Aces this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The terraces

$130.0K for Jesse Gewer, and Black Aces supporters approve

Boards get told what they have done wrong for years and hear nothing on the days they get it right. This is one of those days: Jesse Gewer from Kaizer Chiefs for $130.0K, and a ticket office having a very good morning.

Squad

Mfundo Vilakazi is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 21 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.

Market

Kaizer Chiefs say no — this time

The offer from Bidvest Wits for Neo Bohloko 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Kaizer Chiefs

Brandon Petersen 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.

Market

Muhammad Bower moves on

SuperSport United pay $170.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Squad

Nkosingiphile Ngcobo has improved at 27, which nobody expected

Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

Market

Kaizer Chiefs sell Jesse Gewer for $130.0K

Jesse Gewer has left for Black Aces in a $130.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.
