Squad26 Jul 2032

Thulani Mphela breaks a bone — 33 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 33 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market26 Jul 2032

Thulani Mphela says no to Chippa United

“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Thulani Mphela had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.

Market26 Jul 2032

Teboho 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 The request is on a desk at Black Aces, and it is not being withdrawn.

Transfer targets26 Jul 2032

Failed medical for Lwandiso Radebe

The deal with Orlando Pirates died in the treatment room. Nobody will say what was found and everybody in the game will find out by Friday.

Transfer targets26 Jul 2032

Malibongwe Khoza is a medical away from Black Aces

The deal with Orlando Pirates is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Transfer targets26 Jul 2032

Relebohile Mofokeng will not be coming to Black Aces

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Bidvest Wits is saying, and nobody at Black Aces is enjoying the guessing.

Squad26 Jul 2032

A falling-out at Black Aces

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

Transfer targets26 Jul 2032

An offer of $2.0K for Bruce Bvuma

Black Aces have gone to Kaizer Chiefs with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

The dugout26 Jul 2032

The manager makes an example of Tshepang Mogotlane

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Teboho 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 The request is on a desk at Black Aces, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad19 Jan 2032

Words exchanged at Black Aces

Bradley Khune and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad19 Jan 2032

A row about effort at Black Aces

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Hlompho Ngcobo was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Transfer targets19 Jan 2032

Black Aces rebuffed over Etiosa Ighodaro

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Mamelodi Sundowns have kept their man, and Black Aces go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Match17 Jan 2032

Black Aces see off Maritzburg United

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

The dugout19 Jan 2032

No hiding place for Mpendulo Ntuli

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

Player ratings19 Jan 2032

A masterclass from Bongani Mahlangu

Marked 8.12 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Player ratings19 Jan 2032

Hlompho Ngcobo runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 16. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The dugout19 Jan 2032

Mpendulo Ntuli is still being punished for one mistake

Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market17 Nov 2031

Teboho Furman asks to leave Black Aces

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad17 Nov 2031

Words at Black Aces training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Hlompho Ngcobo 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.

Squad17 Nov 2031

Tempers go at Black Aces

Teboho Mothiba 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.

Squad17 Nov 2031

Teboho Mokotjo stays put

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

The dugout17 Nov 2031

When it matters, Percy Williams plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

The dugout17 Nov 2031

Morgan Mphela 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 Morgan Mphela trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market17 Nov 2031

Kermit Mokotjo told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Kermit Mokotjo has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Black Aces.

Market17 Nov 2031

The Williams Zungu story refuses to die

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

Boardroom17 Nov 2031

The Black Aces academy earns its keep

57 graduates, from a department now rated 9 out of 20. Nothing about the academy appears in a result, and nothing about the club’s future exists without it.

Boardroom23 Jun 2031

Pressure builds in the Black Aces boardroom

The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

Market23 Jun 2031

Ronwen Hlatshwayo 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 Black Aces, and it is not being withdrawn.

Black Aces rebuffed over Naphtali Mokoena

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Orlando Pirates have kept their man, and Black Aces go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Transfer targets23 Jun 2031

Black Aces try to borrow Lwandiso Radebe

Orlando Pirates have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

The dugout23 Jun 2031

Teboho Furman 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.

Market23 Jun 2031

Bongani Mahlangu linked with a move away

The name of Bongani Mahlangu keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Black Aces say nothing, which says plenty.

The dugout23 Jun 2031

Erick Jali 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 Erick Jali trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
