Nobody could get near Dean Mothiba

Successful dribbles: 52. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad16 Nov 2026

A one-man rearguard from Siyabonga Mkhize

There were 9 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Gift Mphela breaks a bone — 52 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 52 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad16 Nov 2026

Percy Dolly says Free State Stars went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad16 Nov 2026

Boikanyo Komane 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 Free State Stars this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Thamsanqa Williams was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.16. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Match14 Nov 2026

Honours even between Free State Stars and Bloemfontein Celtic

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

The Siyabonga Mkhize story refuses to die

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

Teboho Dala changes it off the bench

He was not in the side at half past three and he had settled it before five. Half an hour, and Free State Stars had a different afternoon.

Match12 Sep 2026

Free State Stars out of the cup

Ajax Cape Town ended it 0‑3. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

The terraces14 Sep 2026

Free State Stars are taken apart by Ajax Cape Town — and the town wants answers

It finished 0-3. A cup exit is a disappointment; this was a public dismantling, and the difference between the two is the number of people who will still be talking about it in August.

Market14 Sep 2026

Dean Mothiba raises the bar for Free State Stars

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Free State Stars heard it as anything else.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Andile Mabunda runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 22. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Words at Free State Stars training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Dean Mothiba 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.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

One of those days for Williams Billiat

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.40, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Simphiwe Mtsweni 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.

Boardroom14 Sep 2026

Doors closed at Free State Stars

The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.

Teboho Modiba misses from twelve yards

It was his to settle and he did not settle it. A long walk back to the halfway line, and a considerably longer week.
