No end in sight to Platinum Stars's wait for a win

9 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Platinum Stars has to find a result from somewhere.

Cohen Stander 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 Platinum Stars this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Words at Platinum Stars training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Dean Khune 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.

A bad afternoon for Platinum Stars against SuperSport United

0‑2 to SuperSport United, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Nobody could get near Evidence Manyama

Successful dribbles: 17. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Gift Manyama has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Platinum Stars will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Match29 Aug 2026

Platinum Stars let it slip despite Dean Khune

Dean Khune had done his part in building a 3-goal cushion. What happened after that was collective, and Ajax Cape Town were allowed back into a match that had been finished with.

A brace, and Dean Khune takes the afternoon — 8.19

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Dean Khune provided it, and the 8.19 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

No sign of nerves from Evidence Manyama at 21 — 8.25

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Evidence Manyama did not need any: 8.25, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Supporters turn on the $94.0K sale of Khama Billiat

He is going to MSK Zilina, the club has $94.0K it did not have on Friday, and the phone-ins have already decided how they feel about that. Selling well and selling somebody they loved are not the same skill.

Platinum Stars say no — this time

The offer from Medeama for Bradley Mphela 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.

Luther 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 Platinum Stars, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match29 Aug 2026

4 matches without a win for Platinum Stars

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

Business is business: Khama Billiat goes

MSK Zilina paid $94.0K and Platinum Stars took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.
