Squad24 May 2027

Sazi Gumbi breaks a bone — 25 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 25 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad24 May 2027

Teboho Khune is named among the best

There are footballers who have a good season and footballers a season is remembered for, and the second kind get their names read out in a hall in the summer. Ajax Cape Town will be quietly delighted and privately nervous.

Squad24 May 2027

A falling-out at Ajax Cape Town

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

Squad24 May 2027

Dean Mokotjo 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.

The dugout24 May 2027

Teboho Phiri gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Teboho Phiri is on it.

Market24 May 2027

The Teboho Billiat talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Ajax Cape Town know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

The dugout12 Apr 2027

Sazi Gumbi: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Ajax Cape Town have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad12 Apr 2027

Words exchanged at Ajax Cape Town

Itumeleng Dolly and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad12 Apr 2027

A row about effort at Ajax Cape Town

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Dean Mokotjo was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Boardroom12 Apr 2027

Ajax Cape Town beat the market to Sthembiso Hlophe from SuperSport United

SuperSport United will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Sthembiso Hlophe has pre-agreed a move to Ajax Cape Town, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.

The dugout12 Apr 2027

The manager makes an example of Luther Grobler

“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.

The dugout12 Apr 2027

When it matters, Khama Dala 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.

Squad15 Mar 2027

Khumoitsile Rathokolo is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 20 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.

Squad15 Mar 2027

Words at Ajax Cape Town training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Dean Mokotjo is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad15 Mar 2027

Teboho Mkhize remains an outsider

A year in and the city has not opened up, the language has not come, and lunch is eaten alone more often than anybody at Ajax Cape Town would admit. It shows on Saturdays.

The dugout15 Mar 2027

Khama Dala gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Khama Dala is on it.

Market15 Mar 2027

The Teboho Khune question follows Ajax Cape Town around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Teboho Khune’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Match30 Jan 2027

No mercy from Ajax Cape Town

Jomo Cosmos will want this one forgotten quickly: 4‑1, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Ajax Cape Town were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Market1 Feb 2027

Teboho Mkhize 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.

Player ratings1 Feb 2027

Both of them Teboho Billiat's — 8.95

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.95, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Boardroom1 Feb 2027

Window shuts: 4 in, 1 out at Ajax Cape Town

The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 4 arrived, 1 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

Market1 Feb 2027

The Bidvest Wits deal is off

Everything was agreed until it was not, and Thamsanqa Phiri reports back to Ajax Cape Town with a summer to forget. Neither club is saying who walked away from the table.

Squad1 Feb 2027

Itumeleng Dolly 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.

Squad1 Feb 2027

Words at Ajax Cape Town training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Dean Mokotjo is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Transfer targets1 Feb 2027

Door shut on Ian Vera

Ajax Cape Town asked and Estudiantes said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

The terraces1 Feb 2027

One of their own: Teboho Khune

He is 23 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Market11 Jan 2027

Terms done: Thamsanqa Phiri is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Bidvest Wits waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Ajax Cape Town is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

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.

Match9 Jan 2027

Ajax Cape Town cannot stop winning

4 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Market11 Jan 2027

Ajax Cape Town turn down CotonTchad for Evidence Hlatshwayo

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Transfer targets11 Jan 2027

The paperwork begins on Joe Whitworth

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Ajax Cape Town have done the hard part with Wigan Athletic, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Tempers go at Ajax Cape Town

Itumeleng 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.

Match9 Jan 2027

Williams Vilakazi among the goals in a wild afternoon

6 goals in one match, Williams Vilakazi on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Ajax Cape Town and Golden Arrows.

Match9 Jan 2027

Williams Vilakazi sends Ajax Cape Town past Golden Arrows

It finished 4‑2, and it was Williams Vilakazi’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Ajax Cape Town.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Teboho Khune stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Teboho Khune and Ajax Cape Town agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

In brief
