Teboho Modiba could not have asked for more on his first appearance — 8.62
Debuts are survived rather than enjoyed. This one was enjoyed: 8.62, 2 goals, and a manager already being asked whether he starts again next week.

A day Lebogang Zungu will not forget
4 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Match9 Sep 2026
Ajax Cape Town come from 2 down to beat Free State Stars
At 2 goals adrift this was a formality, and the formality lasted right up until it did not. Ajax Cape Town found something the first half had given no notice of, and Free State Stars could not hold what they had.

Lebogang Zungu, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 9.80
A mark of 9.80 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Ajax Cape Town turn down Cotonsport Garoua for Bradley Jali
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Age has not caught Thembinkosi Lorch yet — 7.92
At 33 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.92 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.
Match12 Sep 2026
Still nobody has beaten Ajax Cape Town
The unbeaten run reaches 7. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.
