Takalani Mazhamba keeps Ajax Cape Town in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Nobody could get near Hlompho Dolly

Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Tempers go at Ajax Cape Town

Hlompho Dolly 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.

Match3 Oct 2026

A bad afternoon for Ajax Cape Town against Golden Arrows

1‑2 to Golden Arrows, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Thamsanqa Mkhize signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Thamsanqa Mkhize and Ajax Cape Town agree another 1 years.

Itumeleng Dala: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 1‑2, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

Takalani Mazhamba named in the team of the month

A month is long enough that nobody gets in by accident. Takalani Mazhamba is in the division's best eleven for it, which is a quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.

When it matters, Hlompho Dolly plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

The manager makes an example of Mandla Ngcobo

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Anothando Menemene is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 19 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.

Sizwe Mhlangu gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Sizwe Mhlangu has just signed for Ajax Cape Town, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad21 Sep 2026

A falling-out at Ajax Cape Town

Hlompho Dolly and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Kermit Grobler out for 25 days

The medical room confirms 25 days on the sidelines for Kermit Grobler, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Nobody could get near Keagan Mokotjo

Successful dribbles: 15. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Itumeleng Dala: “We have to be better”

“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 0‑0 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

The manager has not finished forgetting Hlompho Dolly's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

The manager makes an example of Thamsanqa Mkhize

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match19 Sep 2026

Ajax Cape Town draw a blank against Free State Stars

The crowd waited for a goal that never came. Free State Stars defended in numbers and left with what they came for, and the two sides could be playing still without troubling a scorer.
