Khanye: Kaizer Chiefs signed the wrong player
This was one of the biggest news of the week. Ethan Chislett has signed for Kaizer Chiefs ahead of the 2025/26 Betway Premiership season. As reported by FARPost and iDiski Times , the 26-year-old attacking midfielder has put pen to paper on a two-year deal after declining to renew his deal with Port Vale FC in the English League One division. To the delight of Kaizer Chiefs followers, Chislett is not any number 10 but the type that has scored 40 goals in English football. Why Orlando Pirates gave the job to Ouaddou Former Kaizer Chiefs winger Junior Khanye making the transition from former player to pundit.

'I see the guy, and if I'm not mistaken, I think he was playing in the second or third division wherever he is coming from,' Khaye said to Soccer Laduma . 'In terms of South African football, it's more of a Vodacom (ABC Motsepe) League where he is coming from, I have been told. Pictures spotted: New African midfielder at Orlando Pirates 'I don't think it's the right direction by Kaizer Chiefs to be bringing the guy, although I can't comment much because I haven't seen him play, to be fair to him. It's very difficult to judge a player before you have seen him with your own eyes playing. 'What Orlando Pirates have done with the signing of Sipho Mbule, that's what Kaizer Chiefs should have done. Chiefs should have signed Mbule if they really wanted to compete in the Betway Premiership. Mbule was going to make a huge difference for Chiefs,' concluded Khanye.

Why Orlando Pirates gave the job to Ouaddou
Orlando Pirates supporters have finally met the club's new tactician. Abdeslam Ouaddou has replaced Jose Riviero as the head coach. The 46-year-old Moroccan made his name in Mzansi while coaching Marumo Gallants late last season. He saved the club's top-flight status in 12 games. What were the exact reasons for making him Riveiro's successor? Pictures spotted: New African midfielder at Orlando Pirates Orlando Pirates chairman Dr Irvin Khoza briefs the media.

'The perspective that I heard was the fact that he knows how Pirates want to play you know, first and foremost,' a source told Soccer Laduma . Pictures spotted: New Orlando Pirates superstar 'Orlando Pirates always when they look at the CVs, they go for someone who's willing to play their style of play. 'And again Pirates play CAF Champions League, in the Champions League you cannot sit on the bench if you don't have a CAF A Licence and coach Ouaddou has got a UEFA Pro Licence. 'So it's much easier. That's one of the things that gave him an upper hand when it comes other coaches, especially comparing locally,' the insider added.

Selassie Atadika on the Importance of Food to Tackling Climate Change
Climate change is impacting the world's food supply: as extreme weather events become more common, the future of crops around the world is at risk. This loss isn't in some distant future, says Selassie Atadika, founder of Midunu, an experimental restaurant in Accra that features what she has dubbed 'New African Cuisine.' 'It is actually happening, quietly, throughout the planet—as the climate shifts, seeds vanish and ancestral knowledge disappears before we actually have a chance to pass it on,' Atadika warned at the TIME Earth Awards in Manhattan on April 23. Regions across Asia and Africa are already experiencing higher frequencies of floods and drought—disrupting crop-growing patterns. Midunu uses food to advocate for sustainable agriculture and makes its dishes using local and seasonal ingredients along with traditional grains and proteins. Soon, Atadika plans to launch the Midunu Institute, a space to research, preserve, and teach the principles of African foodways—which she hopes can help offer solutions to many of the world's most pressing issues. Many researchers and farmers are beginning to turn to Africa's indigenous crops—like finger millet and pigeon pea—as a climate resilient solution to the country's growing food demand. It's an approach Atadika believes is the way forward. 'The recipe for what comes next— it's already here,' she said. 'It's in the hands that still remember. It's in the kitchens that still honor the land. It's in communities that nourish without waste, without forgetting.' Atadika insists that prioritizing indigenous knowledge is not about nostalgia. 'It's [a] scalable model [of] climate resilience, cultural preservation, and economic dignity. We're talking about value kept at origin. We're talking about leadership from the Global South—rooted, rigorous, and ready.'
