Match22 Aug 2026

Khama Kekana leads the rout of University of Pretoria

4‑1, and Khama Kekana took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Ajax Cape Town tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Squad24 Aug 2026

A one-man rearguard from Rivaldo Zwane

There were 8 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Both of them Siyabonga Furman's — 8.47

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.47, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Khama Kekana scores twice — 8.42

Two goals and a mark of 8.42 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Market24 Aug 2026

Only the photograph left for Dean Dala

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Dean Dala will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Ajax Cape Town the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Market24 Aug 2026

Gift Mkhize 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 The request is on a desk at Ajax Cape Town, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match22 Aug 2026

Ajax Cape Town make it 3 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Ajax Cape Town have 3 straight wins of it.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Ajax Cape Town

Khama Kekana 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.

Match22 Aug 2026

Khama Kekana at the heart of a fast Ajax Cape Town start

2 goals inside twenty minutes with Khama Kekana in the middle of it, and University of Pretoria unable to get near the ball long enough to change anything. Some matches are won before the first drink.

Market17 Aug 2026

Ajax Cape Town sell their best player to Shakhtar

$13.1M is a serious amount of money and it does not play centre-forward. Everybody in the dressing room knows who used to be looked at when it went wrong.

The terraces17 Aug 2026

Ajax Cape Town sell a favourite for $13.1M

The accountants will call it good business and they will be right, which is not the point anybody outside the boardroom is making. Rivaldo Mphela was one of the reasons people came, and $13.1M does not replace that by itself.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Khama Kekana 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.

Match15 Aug 2026

Khama Kekana sends Ajax Cape Town past Chippa United

It finished 2‑0, and it was Khama Kekana’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Ajax Cape Town.

Squad17 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Siyabonga Jali

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Siyabonga Jali, and the manager let it.

Market17 Aug 2026

Kaizer Chiefs are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Ajax Cape Town will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Ninety minutes of Siyabonga Furman at his very best

Marked 8.24. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Ajax Cape Town.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Rivaldo Lorch in the eights

A performance of 8.22 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Market3 Aug 2026

Ajax Cape Town say no — this time

The offer from Sporting Kansas City for Siyabonga Jali 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.

Market3 Aug 2026

Themba Mphela attracts admirers

The name of Themba Mphela has come up in conversations Ajax Cape Town were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Market3 Aug 2026

Khama Kekana raises the bar for Ajax Cape Town

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Ajax Cape Town heard it as anything else.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Ajax Cape Town

Rivaldo Mphela 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.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Siyabonga Jali 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

Keagan Vilakazi stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Keagan Vilakazi and Ajax Cape Town agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
