SuperSport United turn down MC Oran for Williams Khune

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

Andile Mphela signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Andile Mphela and SuperSport United agree another 4 years.

Squad10 Aug 2026

A falling-out at SuperSport United

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

Boardroom10 Aug 2026

Graduation day at SuperSport United

5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Words at SuperSport United training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Rivaldo Mkhize 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.

Wolfsberger AC tell SuperSport United: Cheick Mamadou Diabaté is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Morgan Ngcobo steps up from the SuperSport United academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Morgan Ngcobo has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

One of our own: Itumeleng Billiat joins the SuperSport United first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Itumeleng Billiat is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Hlompho Williams steps up from the SuperSport United academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Hlompho Williams has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

SuperSport United say no — this time

The offer from Leyton Orient for Morgan Williams was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

SuperSport United make their move for Divine Lunga

$450.0K on the table at Mamelodi Sundowns. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at SuperSport United

Mandla Zwane 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.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Rivaldo Coetzee 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.

Squad3 Aug 2026

No place for Rivaldo Coetzee in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation SuperSport United are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.

SuperSport United try to borrow Cheick Mamadou Diabaté

Wolfsberger AC have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

A loan move for Laurenz Orgler is in the works

SuperSport United have made the call to Rapid Wien. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Market3 Aug 2026

Gift Billiat is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at SuperSport United has been clear about where Gift Billiat stands, which is more than many ever get.

Andile Mphela asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.
