Athini Jodwana 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 Maritzburg United can pretend not to have heard.

Risen Albert will not be coming to Maritzburg United

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at University of Pretoria is saying, and nobody at Maritzburg United is enjoying the guessing.

A falling-out at Maritzburg United

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

Squad24 Aug 2026

A move Singnkhi Mpedi would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Singnkhi Mpedi is living that version at Maritzburg United, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad24 Aug 2026

A row about effort at Maritzburg United

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

Match22 Aug 2026

3 matches without a goal for Maritzburg United

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 3 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Thabo Nodada runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Grêmio tell Maritzburg United: Alexsandro is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Maritzburg United come up short against Polokwane City

Polokwane City left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Darren Keet keeps Maritzburg United in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Maritzburg United rebuffed over Luther Phiri

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

Market17 Aug 2026

SuperSport United come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Maritzburg United did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Maritzburg United

Terrence Mashego 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.

Too dear: Maritzburg United walk away from Tsiki Ntsabeleng

$100.0K was the most the club would pay and Mamelodi Sundowns were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

The terraces17 Aug 2026

The town asked, and Maritzburg United paid $1.6M

Callum Robinson was the name on every phone-in, and the club has gone and signed him for $1.6M. For one week the board can do no wrong, which is a week most boards never get.

Match8 Aug 2026

Maritzburg United taken apart

0‑4 to SuperSport United, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Fredrick Asare keeps Maritzburg United in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 9 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Thabo Nodada was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 23. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Terrence Mashego 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 Maritzburg United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Maritzburg United bid $100.0K for Tsiki Ntsabeleng

The offer went to Mamelodi Sundowns this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Brooklyn Poggenpoel 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 dugout10 Aug 2026

Brooklyn Poggenpoel 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.

Market10 Aug 2026

Maritzburg United promote Evidence Billiat from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Evidence Billiat has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market10 Aug 2026

Erick Hlatshwayo steps up from the Maritzburg United academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Erick Hlatshwayo has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
