Squad14 Sep 2026

A fracture rules Gift Motupa out for 122 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Black Aces will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Match9 Sep 2026

The cup run ends for Black Aces

3‑4 against Kaizer Chiefs, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Both of them Rivaldo Zwane's — 9.55

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.55, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Both of them Siyabonga Modiba's — 8.80

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.80, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Percy Hlatshwayo stands alone

6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Market14 Sep 2026

Thulani Mphela asks to leave Black Aces

“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.

Transfer targets14 Sep 2026

Rivaldo Furman turns down Black Aces

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Ajax Cape Town keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Squad14 Sep 2026

A falling-out at Black Aces

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

Match12 Sep 2026

6 goals as Black Aces and Maritzburg United go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 6 goals between Black Aces and Maritzburg United, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Black Aces turn down Gubbio for Siyabonga Modiba

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

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Too dear: Black Aces walk away from Divine Lunga

$340.0K was the most the club would pay and Mamelodi Sundowns were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Black Aces

Sifiso Grobler 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

A row about effort at Black Aces

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Percy Hlatshwayo was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad3 Aug 2026

The formation has left Gift Motupa behind

Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. Black Aces will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Siyabonga Zwane signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Siyabonga Zwane commits to Black Aces for another 1 years.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

A loan move for Thabo Mokwena is in the works

Black Aces have made the call to Kaizer Chiefs. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

The dugout3 Aug 2026

Morgan Khune knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Black Aces, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market3 Aug 2026

Erick Williams is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Black Aces has been clear about where Erick Williams stands, which is more than many ever get.
