Siyanda Ndlovu runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 37. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Evidence Vilakazi damages knee ligaments — 67 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 67 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match9 Jan 2027

Nobody wins at Ajax Cape Town

13 home matches unbeaten. Visiting sides arrive already talking about the atmosphere, which is usually the sign that they have half-lost before kickoff.

Evidence Manyama 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 The request is on a desk at Ajax Cape Town, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Siyanda Ndlovu 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 Ajax Cape Town this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Jonatan Reis out for 36 days

The medical room confirms 36 days on the sidelines for Jonatan Reis, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Iago Oliveira falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Market11 Jan 2027

Platinum Stars are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Ajax Cape Town will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Market11 Jan 2027

Experience through the door at Ajax Cape Town

Eva Bienvenu arrives at 33 with nothing left to prove and plenty left to pass on. Legs are a young man's currency; knowing where to stand never ages.

Mandla Phiri runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 28. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Boardroom7 Sep 2026

The Ajax Cape Town board want somebody sold

The instruction has come from upstairs rather than from the dugout, which is the version of this conversation no manager enjoys. Somebody in that squad is now available whether the man who picks the team thinks so or not.

Market7 Sep 2026

Luther Jali hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Ajax Cape Town can pretend not to have heard.

Squad7 Sep 2026

No hiding place for Sifiso Mlungwana

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Sifiso Mlungwana, and the manager let it.

Player ratings7 Sep 2026

Ninety minutes of Siyanda Ndlovu at his very best

Marked 8.06. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Ajax Cape Town.

Squad7 Sep 2026

A place in the month's best eleven for Siyabonga Dala

Four or five weekends of consistency, judged against everybody in the division doing his job. Siyabonga Dala has come out of that comparison in the side, and Ajax Cape Town have had the benefit of every one of those afternoons.

Siyanda Ndlovu runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 42. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market17 Aug 2026

Ajax Cape Town break the bank for Sifiso Mlungwana

$730.0K. No player has ever cost Ajax Cape Town more, and expectation arrives with him.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Ajax Cape Town

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.

$730.0K for Sifiso Mlungwana, and Ajax Cape Town 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: Sifiso Mlungwana from Golden Arrows for $730.0K, and a ticket office having a very good morning.

Match15 Aug 2026

Erick Zwane sends Ajax Cape Town past Chippa United

It finished 2‑0, and it was Erick Zwane’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Ajax Cape Town.

Squad17 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Thamsanqa Hlatshwayo

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Thamsanqa Hlatshwayo, and the manager let it.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Ninety minutes of Thamsanqa Hlatshwayo at his very best

Marked 8.48. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Ajax Cape Town.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Erick Zwane was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.18. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad17 Aug 2026

This league is too small for Siyanda Ndlovu

He is doing things on a Saturday afternoon that nobody around him can answer, which is flattering for about one season and a problem after that. Ajax Cape Town will not keep him by pretending otherwise.
