There’s no sitting still for South African football fans as Mamelodi Sundowns, Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs shake up the landscape ahead of the new season.
Sundowns are riding high after their impressive FIFA Club World Cup showing. With a hefty cash injection, the Brazilians are poised for transfer fireworks, strengthening an already dominant squad.
Meanwhile, Orlando Pirates are making noise with a series of new signings, including a bold push for Sipho Mbule.
On Hit the Target podcast, powered by Hollywoodbets, African football analyst Marc Strydom revealed that fireworks can be expected when Mbule is on the pitch. Strydom said, “He’s a top player. We know what he’s capable of, we know what he does on the field from SuperSport, to Sundowns, to Sekhukhune.
Despite making all these moves and all the negativity that follows him, he continues to shine and there’s no doubt that he’s an asset to the team. His creativity that he brings, the flair which everybody loves to see, especially donning the black and white of Pirates, they will love him there”, Strydom concluded.
Add a new manager into the mix, and the Mighty Buccaneers are sending a clear statement of intent—they’re not just aiming to compete, they’re aiming to conquer.
Soweto rivals Kaizer Chiefs have experienced ongoing struggles to land a consistent striker — but a heavily linked with a Mamelodi Sundowns dangerman.
With all eyes on Amakhosi following their Nedbank Cup triumph, this is shaping up to be one of the most pivotal campaigns in recent memory for the Glamour Boys.
