BREAKING: Sundowns star back from Europe but off to Tanzania!
Mamelodi Sundowns star defender Rushine de Reuck is back from Europe but he's already set for a move to Tanzania. De Reuck spent last season on loan at Israeli outfit Maccabi Petah Tikva in search for regular game time. However, things just did not go his way as he only featured four times for Petah Tikva during this stint. Now, with his loan spell over, De Reuck is back at Chloorkop but he's reportedly on his way to Tanzanian giants Simba SC. Simba SC are coached by De Reuck's former coach at Maritzburg United Fadlu Davids, and the South African mentor is a huge fan. It was at Maritzburg United, now known as Durban City, where the lanky defender played his best football. Sundowns then came knocking for signature four years ago, but injuries contributed to his lack of game time before he was loaned out. According to sources known to iDiski Times , De Reuck has already penned a one-year deal with Simba SC. Rushine de Reuck while at Sundowns.

Durban City confirm Gavin Hunt as their new coach
Newly-promoted KwaZulu-Natal outfit Durban City have announced the experienced Gavin Hunt as their new coach after the club parted ways with Simo Dladla last month. Dladla, the coach who promoted the club formerly known as Maritzburg United as champions of the 2024-25 Motsepe Foundation Championship, has since joined AmaZulu as assistant to former Kaizer Chiefs coach Arthur Zwane. Hunt, who finished last season without a job after being fired for inconsistent results at SuperSport United, is a four-time Premiership winner, three with the recently-sold Matsatsantsa and one with another defunct club, Bidvest Wits. 'With a distinguish career spanning more than two decades at the top level of South African football, Hunt brings a wealth of experience, having won multiple league titles and domestic trophies,' City said. 'His strong leadership style and results-driven approach align perfectly with Durban City's ambitions as prepare for the upcoming 2025-26 season.'
