Chiefs rejects to prove a point

Kaizer Chiefs is still leaking its fresh wounds from a Mamelodi Sundowns defeat and are set to lock horns with another Tshwane side Supersport United at the FNB Stadium on Wednesday night.

Kick-Off is set for 19:30

The Glamour boys will be looking to redeem themselves in the expense of Matsatsantsa a Pitori. Supersport United under the supervision of Stuart Baxter is made up of Kaizer Chiefs rejects. Supersport boats six Chiefs ex-players in their squad and that has to worry their opponents.

Supersport are on ten-match unbeaten streak and in contrast Chiefs has not tasted a victory in their last four matches. With Steve Komphela's tactics under the spotlight following their disastrous performance against Mamelodi Sundowns at the weekend it will take more than just a win to ease the pressure off Komphela.

Komphela's tactics were deployed by Stuart Baxter before at Chiefs and have yielded some results. During his tenure at Chiefs Baxter relied more on transition football to open up his opponents. Though he has a formidable combination in Maluleka, Lebese and Masango (MA-LE-MA) whom were realible when were called to task. Komphela rely more on his wing backs than his wingers and it leaves more holes at the back.

Supersport boast a squad full of Chiefs rejects in Reneiloe Letsholonyane, Reyaad Perterse, Keagan Ritchie, Morgan Gould, Tefu Mashamaite, Kingston Nkhatha, David Mathebula and Onismor Bhasera.

Despite Chiefs struggling to grind results the odds are against Supersport. In head-to-head Chiefs has upper hand over Matsatsantsa. The two sides have met 28-times with Chiefs winning 13 of those matches surrendering 10 and 5 ended in draws.

In their last clash, Chiefs clinched a 2-1 victory at home

Baxter leads Bafana to the land of Pharaoh

By Malose Wa Ga Lamola After a performance that goes beyond industrious- Bafana Bafana- has qualified for the Afcon finals set to be staged in Egypt this winter. Congratulations on your commendable victory against Libya. Percy Tau has led the team from the front. Tau's brace was adequate for Stuart Baxter's men to claim a 2-1 victory over a stubborn Libyan side at Tunis. The Royale Union Saint Gilloise star player continues to be in a fine form- as he emerged through the pack to seal the deal for Bafana. Baxter has qualified for two Afcon finals in his two stints with Bafana. The Brit first qualified for the 2006 Afcon finals coincidentally held in Egypt. Baxter has now led Bafana to yet another Afcon finals. South Africa has celebrated the class of 1996 for too long- the current generation has to emulate their big brothets and conquer Africa again. With the type of football Bafana is ditching out- winning the Afcon won't be too much to ask for. Bafana is capable

Haraba: It Is Not Only About The Money

By Malose Wa Ga Lamola Hollywoodbets Super League has set up a theatre for women's football in South Africa. An action galore series, more of a horror film than a comedy flick. Though, football is less fictional than most of Hollywood films, but it offers the same dramatic content if not more. Heroes and villains, the building blocks of classic tales. Directing a television production bears some similarities to football management. Trying to coax the best out of role players. Coaches are more concerned with numbers on the log standings, so are directors' obsession with viewership.  A one team dominated league is often referred to as a farmer's league. The dominance of Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies in the Hollywoodbets Super League puts the women's league in category one of farmers' leagues. Royal AM Ladies mentor, Thato Haraba, argues the notion that Hollywoodbets Super League is a farmers league and is of a view that assumptions lack as much in t

Photo cred: Backpagepix Milpark Stadium remains a sacred space for South African women in football. Like an angel offering redemption to a sinner, in 1992, FIFA readmitted South Africa back into the international football fold. A year later Banyana Banyana was born. The real world finally intruded into South African women's football in the winter of 1993. A new era was opening. Banyana took on neighbours eSwatini, the then Swaziland. The main architects of South African women's football history. Former Banyana Banyana star midfielder, Anna Monate, took ShakingInk down memory lane as she reminisces on the historic day when she took to the field donning national team colours. Though, the stakes were real, and high. Playing football was an art they were learning to master. Monate laid bare the incidents of the 30th of May 1993. “For my
