The Mamelodi Sundowns Sentinel
Match5 Sep 2026
Mamelodi Sundowns run riot against Jomo Cosmos
6‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Words exchanged at Mamelodi Sundowns
Ronwen Williams 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.

Nobody could stop scoring
6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Mamelodi Sundowns and Jomo Cosmos in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

A masterclass from Lebo Mothiba
Marked 8.92 — 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.

The crowd has taken to Oarabile Booysen
At 19 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.
