Marked for Morgan Mkhize

Squad19 Oct 2026

Morgan Mkhize is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 19 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Match17 Oct 2026

Platinum Stars rescue it on 90 minutes

Behind, and beaten by any honest reading, until minute 90. Mamelodi Sundowns had the points in their pocket and a corner of the ground still believed, which is generally when it happens.

Player ratings19 Oct 2026

Kermit Jali was the difference for Platinum Stars

Marked 7.95. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Khama Mokotjo stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Khama Mokotjo and Platinum Stars agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Words at Platinum Stars training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Thamsanqa Tau 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.

Match17 Oct 2026

Platinum Stars and Mamelodi Sundowns take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

The dugout19 Oct 2026

Half-satisfied: Itumeleng Tau on the draw

“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 1‑1, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Gift Furman suspended

One booking too many, and Gift Furman sits out. Platinum Stars lose him for the sort of avoidable reason that makes a manager's week longer.

The dugout19 Oct 2026

A promise honoured for Risen Albert

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Platinum Stars told Risen Albert something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Real improvement from Orazio Antonucci at Platinum Stars

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Orazio Antonucci is 21, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Gift Furman in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Platinum Stars this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Mondli Miya is not the player he was

It happens to all of them and it is still the hardest paragraph a local paper has to write. 36 years old, 3 points down on where he was, and a body that has started charging interest on a career.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Morgan Mkhize stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Morgan Mkhize and Platinum Stars agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Market12 Oct 2026

Thamsanqa Tau told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Thamsanqa Tau has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Platinum Stars.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

No hiding place for Khama Mokotjo

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

Squad21 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Platinum Stars

Gift Furman 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.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Real improvement from Morgan Mkhize at Platinum Stars

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Morgan Mkhize is 19, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Match19 Sep 2026

Kermit Jali sends Platinum Stars past Golden Arrows

It finished 1‑0, and it was Kermit Jali’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Platinum Stars.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

One of those days for Kermit Jali

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.15, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Nothing got past Evidence Mahlangu

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 18 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

The manager’s verdict

“I am not going to get carried away and I will not let them either. It was a good day. There will be harder ones.” Itumeleng Tau kept it short after the 1‑0 win, which is what managers do when they are happy.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

Somebody else is better right now than Thamsanqa Tau

The team sheet says it in public every week until it changes. The only version of being dropped a footballer cannot argue with, and the one he takes hardest.

Market21 Sep 2026

The shop window has Kermit Mokotjo in it

Platinum Stars have let the market know Kermit Mokotjo can be had. No price in the advert, but everyone in the trade knows roughly what it says.

Squad21 Sep 2026

The shirt is Kermit Jali’s

At 25 he has taken a place rather than been given one, and somebody else has to find something to say about it. Platinum Stars have a decision that made itself.
