‘Sundowns can bring back Rulani Mokwena'
According to the ever-outspoken Khanye, Kabo Yellow, who lifted a record eighth league title in a row last weekend, can go on to win 12 titles on the bounce.
'For me, I guarantee 12 you can even write it down I guarantee 12 titles,' said Khanye via iDiski Times . Should the current Portuguese coach Miguel Cardoso fail to deliver on his targets, Khanye believes Sundowns could easily re-appoint the great Rulani Mokwena.
'It's not easy to break the structure also because of the length of Miguel Cardoso's contract; I think it's three years, if I'm not mistaken. I can assure you that Rulani Mokoena, if he doesn't go to another team, he'll come back because I don't think they'll bring somebody who doesn't understand the club; that person won't last,' Khanye added.
'They don't have time [to waste] they've invested a lot in football. They won't wait for a coach to be escorted by a truck from the pitch. They only bring someone who adds value. They will give you games to prove yourself.
'Also, credit to the Director for bringing in former players that have done well in their careers the likes of Teko Modise, Tiyani Mabunda, Hlompho Kekana even Katlego Mahoota [Mashego] is also visible there and the list goes on.
'Their development is also strong and by development I'm referring to their U18 side that won the Engen Cup two years ago. If you see those players, you'll be shocked so yes, I'm saying 12 years because of their solid structure.
'It won't be easy for someone to break that structure at Sundowns. If Cardoso doesn't win the Champions League maybe they'll release him and bring someone else who will be released if he doesn't well in five games. They do the right things and get themselves in the right spaces,' the former Kaizer Chiefs winger concluded.

Orlando Pirates news: Mofokeng price tag, MTN8 fitness doubts
Orlando Pirates may be counting the cost of their European pre-season. Coach Abdeslam Ouaddou has hinted that several players are carrying knocks, just weeks out from the MTN8 Cup. Although he didn't reveal names, Ouaddou's vague injury update has sparked concern. 'The game is played by young men,' he told local media. 'Swelling and niggles are normal.' The injuries could prove disruptive, with Pirates set to face Polokwane City in the tournament's quarter-finals. The match will also be a test for new signings like Oswin Appollis and Tshepang Moremi, should they be fit to feature. The bigger distraction, however, remains the future of Relebohile Mofokeng. PSV are the latest club pushing hard to sign the Orlando Pirates wonderkid. And the numbers being discussed are staggering. 'The R100 million talk is misleading,' a source said. 'It was initially R120 million.' That hasn't stopped interest, nor has it silenced Mofokeng's father. Sechaba Mofokeng made it clear he doesn't want his son playing in South Africa next season. 'Spain, England, Netherlands — Rele can play anywhere. But not Saudi Arabia. He needs to experience UEFA football,' he said. Let us know by leaving a comment below or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 0211.

New Orlando Pirates signing will 'die' on the field
Orlando Pirates have signed a gem. Kamogelo Sebelebele's former TS Galaxy coach Adnan Beganović has said the winger earned his big break and insists the Buccaneers are getting a complete player both on and off the pitch. The Tembisa-born player's development under Beganović at TS Galaxy culminated in a breakout 2024/25 season, during which he made 29 appearances, scored five goals, and delivered two assists. His progress has been rapid, and his elevation to one of the most exciting prospects in South African football is, according to Beganović, no accident. Update on Kaizer Chiefs and Nigerian striker New Orlando Pirates winger Kamogelo Sebelebele in Bafana Bafana colours. Image: CosafaTV 'He deserves to sign that contract because he has been with Galaxy for five years. He is an amazing human being, and the next step for him is to join a club like Orlando Pirates,' Beganović told Sowetan . Kaizer Chiefs news: R70 million income and experienced number six 'He made a good decision to join Pirates because he can still improve there; everything he needs is present. I believe he will get ample game time because he is a complete soccer player… I firmly believe he will excel. 'He's a good player with the right attitude… He deserves that, again he adds value to the team… Tired or not tired, he'll die on the field up until the last whistle. I'm happy for Kamogelo, he deserves this move to be honest,' the Serbian mentor concluded.
