Squad25 Jan 2027

Sibongiseni Ngcobo breaks a bone — 123 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 123 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match23 Jan 2027

Jomo Cosmos taken apart

1‑4 to Bloemfontein Celtic, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Market25 Jan 2027

Mboniseni Mbandlwa asks to leave Jomo Cosmos

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Match23 Jan 2027

4 matches without a win for Jomo Cosmos

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Jomo Cosmos are no longer polite ones.

Player ratings25 Jan 2027

Nobody could get near Monnapule Saleng

Successful dribbles: 22. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad25 Jan 2027

Iván Junco 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 Jomo Cosmos this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Sibongiseni Ngcobo breaks a bone — 139 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 139 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Player ratings11 Jan 2027

Monnapule Saleng runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 24. 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

Siyabonga Makhoba 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 Jomo Cosmos this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match9 Jan 2027

Jomo Cosmos come up short against Maritzburg United

Maritzburg United left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Teboho Hlatshwayo out for 19 days

The medical room confirms 19 days on the sidelines for Teboho Hlatshwayo, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Gerald Ndlovu 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 Bloemfontein Celtic Sentinel

28 Sep 2026
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad28 Sep 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Bradley Mabunda

57 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Bloemfontein Celtic lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market28 Sep 2026

Only the photograph left for Bradley Mabunda

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Bradley Mabunda will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Bloemfontein Celtic the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Nobody could get near Siyabonga Mothiba

Successful dribbles: 28. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Evidence Grobler 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 Bloemfontein Celtic this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match26 Sep 2026

3 matches without a goal for Bloemfontein Celtic

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 3 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Words at Bloemfontein Celtic training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Khama Dala 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.

Squad28 Sep 2026

The manager makes an example of Ricardo Williams

“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.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Sifiso Zungu never got going

4.89 on the card. Some afternoons a footballer looks like a man who has only just been introduced to the game, and this was one of them.

Match26 Sep 2026

Bloemfontein Celtic and Black Aces cancel each other out

Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Black Aces came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.

Squad7 Sep 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Bradley Mabunda

82 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Bloemfontein Celtic lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Player ratings7 Sep 2026

Khama Dala 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.

Market7 Sep 2026

Teboho Khune 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 Bloemfontein Celtic, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market7 Sep 2026

Bloemfontein Celtic say no — this time

The offer from Tusker for Siyabonga Mothiba 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.

Match5 Sep 2026

5 matches without a win for Bloemfontein Celtic

The run now stands at 5, and the questions being asked around Bloemfontein Celtic are no longer polite ones.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Bloemfontein Celtic

Evidence Grobler 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.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Khama Dala 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.

Match5 Sep 2026

Bloemfontein Celtic share the spoils with Polokwane City

A 1‑1 draw with Polokwane City leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Ricardo Williams is still paying for one afternoon at Bloemfontein Celtic

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

Market31 Aug 2026

Bradley Mabunda is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Bloemfontein Celtic is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Market31 Aug 2026

Bloemfontein Celtic say no — this time

The offer from Jomo Cosmos for Bongani Lorch 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.

Rivaldo Modiba asks to leave Bloemfontein Celtic

Match29 Aug 2026

A bad afternoon for Bloemfontein Celtic against Mamelodi Sundowns

0‑1 to Mamelodi Sundowns, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad31 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Teboho Jali

“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.
