Match22 Aug 2026
Black Aces win it in stoppage time
The board had gone up, the arguing had started, and then the ball was in the net in the 93th minute. Mamelodi Sundowns will replay every second of the added time for a week.

Ramahlwe Ngcobo hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Black Aces can pretend not to have heard.
Transfer targets24 Aug 2026
Black Aces rebuffed over Tashreeq Morris
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Kaizer Chiefs have kept their man, and Black Aces go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Luther Modiba stands above it all
Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.45 on the card, and the Black Aces support went home talking about one name.

Black Aces are still strangers to each other
5 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

A satisfied Thulani Hlatshwayo
“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 1‑0, Thulani Hlatshwayo could afford to be generous.

A row about effort at Black Aces
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Andile Mokoena was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Black Aces pick somebody else ahead of Thulani Mkhize
There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.
