Market

Not going: Teboho Mothiba stays at Ajax Cape Town

“I know what people will say. I know what I want, and it is here.” ENPPI had the fee agreed and the shirt ready; they did not have the player, and now they will not.

Transfer targets

Ajax Cape Town make their move for Musa Drammeh

$2.7M on the table at Torreense. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Transfer targets

Free State Stars tell Ajax Cape Town: Kermit Lorch is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad

A falling-out at Ajax Cape Town

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

The dugout

Williams Erasmus gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match

Chippa United take the points off Ajax Cape Town

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Deano Van Rooyen

Successful dribbles: 18. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Words at Ajax Cape Town training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Keagan Ngcobo 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.

The dugout

Dean Furman: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑1, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

In brief
