Sydney Bright breaks a bone — 15 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 15 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Tempers go at Bidvest Wits

Siyanda Ndlovu 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.

Anothando Menemene asks to leave Bidvest Wits

“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.

Junior Meke Zanga says Bidvest Wits went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Junior Meke Zanga is on his way

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

Lebogang Dolly signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Lebogang Dolly commits to Bidvest Wits for another 4 years.
