No mercy from Black Aces
Bidvest Wits will want this one forgotten quickly: 3‑0, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Black Aces were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Both of them Lebogang Tau's — 8.96
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.96, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

A debut Sifiso Billiat will not forget — 7.20
There is exactly one of these per career and it does not usually go like this. 0 on the scoresheet, 7.20 beside the name, and a crowd that had never seen him before chanting it by the end.

Black Aces say no — this time
The offer from CR Belouizdad for Rivaldo Grobler 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.

Sifiso Billiat signs on for more
“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Sifiso Billiat and Black Aces agree another 5 years.

A falling-out at Black Aces
Lebogang Tau and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Graduation day at Black Aces
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.

Thulani Mothiba steps up from the Black Aces academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Thulani Mothiba 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.

Thulani Williams steps up from the Black Aces academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Thulani 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.
