Thamsanqa Manyama, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 8.14
A mark of 8.14 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 20-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

SuperSport United turn down Chippa United for Bradley Mokotjo
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Siyabonga Mkhize moves on
Crystal Palace pay $3.2M, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Tempers go at SuperSport United
Keagan Zwane 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.

SuperSport United see off Black Aces
Three points for SuperSport United, 2‑1 the final word against Black Aces in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Ninety minutes of Williams Kekana at his very best
Marked 8.49. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at SuperSport United.

Keagan Zwane could have had three
5 attempts, none of them in. He got into the right places all afternoon, which is the hard part, and did the easy part badly — and that is the version of a bad day a manager can live with.

Juan Marcelo Aimar 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.

A smaller club would suit Keagan Zwane now
He has had enough of the noise. Whether SuperSport United can be a quieter place for him, or whether the only cure is a move somewhere the phone-ins are gentler, is a question for the next few months.
