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.

Mamelodi Sundowns make move for former Kaizer Chiefs star
Mamelodi Sundowns have set their sights on TS Galaxy and Bafana Bafana defender Khulumani Ndamane, aiming to secure the 21-year-old ahead of the 2025/2026 season. After an impressive breakthrough campaign, Ndamane has become one of the most sought-after young talents in South African football. The highly-rated left-footed defender joined TS Galaxy from Kaizer Chiefs last year, having previously shone in the DStv Diski Challenge. However, Chiefs never promoted him to the first team, a decision now under scrutiny after his meteoric rise. Since his move to Galaxy, Ndamane has started 27 matches, missing only six across all competitions. His consistent performances earned him a senior debut for Bafana Bafana in the recent 0-0 draw against Tanzania at the Peter Mokaba Stadium. Bafana head coach Hugo Broos heaped praise on the youngster, saying: 'He has a massive future ahead. As a left-footed defender, he shows composure, aerial strength and the physical presence required to succeed at the highest level.' Ndamane's towering frame and versatility have not gone unnoticed abroad. Romanian giants FCSB, who currently have Siyabonga Ngezana on their books, made an approach for a loan with an option to buy. However, sources confirmed that the proposal was turned down. Meanwhile, Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns closely monitored developments. As it stands, discussions between Sundowns and TS Galaxy continue, with the possibility of a loan return to Galaxy still on the table – though increasingly unlikely. Sundowns view Ndamane as a long-term fix for the left side of their defence. Their previous gamble on Lucas Suarez ended in disappointment, with the Argentine heading back to South America after failing to impress. Galaxy are bracing themselves for yet another key departure in this transfer window, having already lost Lebone Seema to Pirates. Following their record fifth-place finish last season, the Rockets look set for a significant squad overhaul. The chase for Khulumani Ndamane may signal the start of their reshaping. And fans will be watching closely to see whether Masandawana can land one of Mzansi's most exciting young defenders. Do Mamelodi Sundowns need Khulumani Ndamane?

Kaizer Chiefs: Ntwari frozen out as Nabi hunts his own no. 1
Kaizer Chiefs as a unit have made a vital decision, in an important position. A source revealed that coach Nasreddine Nabi has ruled Fiacre Ntwari out of his 2025/2026 plans. The Rwandan goalkeeper no longer features in training-ground drills designed for first‑team regulars. Which indicates that Nabi's search for a new shot‑stopper has reached an advanced stage. Ntwari occupies one of Kaizer Chiefs' precious foreign‑player berths, and Nabi has already earmarked that slot for a fresh signing. Consequently, Bruce Bvuma and Brandon Petersen now sit comfortably ahead of the 25‑year‑old on the depth chart. 'Nothing has changed in his situation to tell you the truth. It doesn't seem like the coach sees him in his plans at the moment.' The insider's words underline how little room remains for a dramatic turnaround. Club sources hint that technical‑team dynamics, not performances alone, continue to hamper Ntwari's prospects. 'From what we understand, it's not only about performances, there may also be some behind‑the‑scenes dynamics with the technical team that aren't helping his situation.' With dressing‑room alliances shifting, the goalkeeper finds himself without key backing in crucial meetings. Since joining from TS Galaxy last year, Ntwari has conceded 11 goals in just seven appearances. Chiefs fans have not seen him in action for more than six months. And the upcoming pre‑season offers little hope of redemption. 'Nothing has changed.' That blunt verdict echoes through Naturena. Signalling that Kaizer Chiefs will likely part ways with Fiacre Ntwari before the new campaign kicks off. Should Kaizer Chiefs give Ntwari another chance or let him go?

Orlando Pirates to sign highly talented Bafana defender?
Orlando Pirates are believed to be monitoring rising TS Galaxy star Khulumani Ndamane as they prepare for potential reinforcements ahead of the new season. The 21-year-old centre-back enjoyed a breakthrough campaign, becoming one of the standout performers in the Betway Premiership, and Orlando Pirates did not miss that. Despite having another exceptional youngster in Mbekezeli Mbokazi (19) in the same left-central defence position, Orlando Pirates, have reportedly identified Ndamane as a promising prospect with long-term potential, especially if Mbokazi earns a move abroad. Spotted: Firas Zghal with Kaizer Chiefs According to this report, the Buccaneers could compete with Babina Noko for Ndamane's signature. 'There are two clubs that have shown interest in the defender,' a source told Soccer Laduma . 'Yes, there was interest from Europe, but I can't say what really happened, but the enquiries from Orlando Pirates and Sekhukhune United are what stands out at the moment. Another Orlando Pirates player joins PSL newcomers 'So let's wait and see what happens next on Ndamane,' the insider told Soccer Laduma . A second insider said: 'As much as there has been interest and enquiries, it's believed that Galaxy are making sure they hold onto him but since this is football, anything could happen. 'But if there is an overseas club that comes through, then that would be the first priority,' he concluded.
