Transfer targets5 Jul 2027

Platinum Stars agree $42.0K for Eva Bienvenu

The clubs have shaken hands with Chippa United; the player has not yet. Personal terms are next, and personal terms are where more deals die than anybody prints.

Market5 Jul 2027

Lebogang Furman 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 The request is on a desk at Platinum Stars, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad5 Jul 2027

Reece Braithwaite 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.

Squad5 Jul 2027

A falling-out at Platinum Stars

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

The dugout5 Jul 2027

Siyabonga Dube 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.

Boardroom5 Jul 2027

Platinum Stars sign 6 boys into the academy

None of them will be seen by anybody outside the training ground for three years, most of them will never play a senior match, and one of them might change the club. That is the whole proposition, and it is why academies exist.

The dugout5 Jul 2027

Percy Mokoena 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.

Market5 Jul 2027

The Williams Khune story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Williams Khune signs something — a contract at Platinum Stars or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

The dugout5 Jul 2027

Kagiso Malinga has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Kagiso Malinga has written the date down.

Back issues

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad29 Mar 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Zuko Mdunyelwa

55 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Platinum Stars lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad29 Mar 2027

A fracture rules Thabiso Lebitso out for 60 days

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

Squad29 Mar 2027

Tempers go at Platinum Stars

Kegan Johannes 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.

Squad29 Mar 2027

Matteo Sorrentino 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.

The dugout29 Mar 2027

No hiding place for Itumeleng Mphela

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

The dugout29 Mar 2027

Zuko Mdunyelwa gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Zuko Mdunyelwa is on it.

Market29 Mar 2027

Dean Ngcobo linked with a move away

The name of Dean Ngcobo keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Platinum Stars say nothing, which says plenty.

The dugout29 Mar 2027

Teboho Erasmus knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Teboho Erasmus trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

The dugout29 Mar 2027

Kegan Johannes keeps his manager's vote

The message was aimed at the stands as much as the dressing room: Kegan Johannes plays, and the argument is closed until the manager decides otherwise.
