The Mamelodi Sundowns Sentinel

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Match22 Aug 2026

Mamelodi Sundowns tear Black Aces apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 5‑0 against Black Aces, and it could have been more.

Market24 Aug 2026

Antonio Van Wyk has said yes to Berekum Chelsea

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Mamelodi Sundowns have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Marcelo Allende scores twice — 8.11

Two goals and a mark of 8.11 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Market24 Aug 2026

Divine Lunga turns University of Pretoria down

“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.

Supporters turn on the $1.6M sale of Kutlwano Letlhaku

He is going to SuperSport United, the club has $1.6M it did not have on Friday, and the phone-ins have already decided how they feel about that. Selling well and selling somebody they loved are not the same skill.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Vintage Themba Zwane — 7.95

At 37 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 7.95, and nobody on the pitch better.

Market24 Aug 2026

Mamelodi Sundowns turn down Beerschot for Jody February

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market24 Aug 2026

Kutlwano Letlhaku moves on

SuperSport United pay $1.6M, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Ronwen Williams 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 Mamelodi Sundowns this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market17 Aug 2026

Mothobi Mvala agrees terms with University of Pretoria

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Mamelodi Sundowns people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Market17 Aug 2026

Grant Kekana asks to leave Mamelodi Sundowns

“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.

Market17 Aug 2026

Cassius Mailula turns Plateau United down

“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Themba Zwane, 37, rolls back the years — 8.27

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.27 at 37, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Teboho Mokoena goes up and wins it — 7.75

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.75 for the rest of it.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Mamelodi Sundowns

Ronwen Williams 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.

Match15 Aug 2026

Themba Zwane’s goal not enough for Mamelodi Sundowns

Themba Zwane scored, and precious little else went right: 2‑3 to Maritzburg United, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

The dugout17 Aug 2026

Ronwen Williams 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.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Words at Mamelodi Sundowns training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Thapelo Morena 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.

Market10 Aug 2026

Terms done: Divine Lunga is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and University of Pretoria waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Mamelodi Sundowns is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Market10 Aug 2026

Jody February turns Haras El Hodoud down

“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Themba Zwane, 37, rolls back the years — 8.17

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.17 at 37, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Market10 Aug 2026

Mamelodi Sundowns turn down Bloemfontein Celtic for Mothobi Mvala

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Ronwen Williams signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Ronwen Williams and Mamelodi Sundowns agree another 2 years.

Squad10 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Mamelodi Sundowns

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

Boardroom10 Aug 2026

Graduation day at Mamelodi Sundowns

5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Market10 Aug 2026

Business is business: Tsiki Ntsabeleng goes

SuperSport United paid $170.0K and Mamelodi Sundowns took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Match8 Aug 2026

Brayan León sends Mamelodi Sundowns past University of Pretoria

It finished 2‑0, and it was Brayan León’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Mamelodi Sundowns.

Squad3 Aug 2026

A career in one shirt: Themba Zwane

14 seasons and 312 appearances, all of them here. Careers like this are not designed; they happen to a certain kind of man at a certain kind of club, and this town has one.

Market3 Aug 2026

Mamelodi Sundowns say no — this time

The offer from Portimonense for Arthur Sales was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market3 Aug 2026

Teboho Mokoena raises the bar for Mamelodi Sundowns

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

Squad3 Aug 2026

Khuliso Mudau signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Khuliso Mudau commits to Mamelodi Sundowns for another 3 years.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Marcelo Allende wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Mamelodi Sundowns know it.

Squad3 Aug 2026

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.

Market3 Aug 2026

Black Aces join the queue for Siyabonga Mabena

Add another name to the list: Black Aces have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Siyabonga Mabena. The answer from Mamelodi Sundowns has not changed — yet.

Market3 Aug 2026

Nobody at Mamelodi Sundowns has picked up the phone to Khuliso Mudau

36 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

The dugout3 Aug 2026

Iqraam Rayners asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.
