Some Premier Soccer League clubs are churning out young talent being touted as the future of South African football
Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies continued their dominant start to the 2025 Hollywoodbets Super League season with a dominant 1–0 victory over the University of Fort Hare at TUT Stadium on Sunday morning
The win keeps the defending Champions unbeaten and remarkably still yet to concede a goal this campaign
calmly slotting home in the 62nd minute to seal three points for Banyana Ba Style
The University of Fort Hare put up a strong defensive display and challenged Sundowns throughout
but the Brazilians’ quality and persistence ultimately shone through
reflected on the team’s determination to get the job done despite missed opportunities:
“It was a hard-fought game from start to finish
and the University of Fort Hare challenged us
I honestly feel we could have scored more goals — we created some good chances but just lacked that final touch at times
What made the difference today was our perseverance
We implemented everything we had practiced throughout the week
and that helped us maintain our structure under pressure.”
the reigning Champions were once again rock-solid
with experienced defender Bambanani Mbane playing a key role in marshaling the defense and ensuring the team’s seventh clean sheet in as many matches this season
They came at us with intensity and tried to disrupt our rhythm
we take great pride in protecting our goal
and the fact that we have not conceded all season is something we work extremely hard for in training
Every player—from the forwards pressing high to the goalkeeper—contributes to that defensive effort.”
Ludwig has now moved to four goals this season
joining Nthabiseng Majiya and Boitumelo Rabale at the top of Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies’ scoring chart
Close behind is Nonhlanhla Mthandi with three goals
The Brazilians have also seen valuable contributions from across the squad
and Tiisetso Makhubela each finding the back of the net once
Up next for Sundowns Ladies is a clash against First Touch at Baroka Village on Saturday

The Pretoria National Zoological Garden (NZG) recently welcomed three blacktip reef sharks and more than 200 colourful marine fish
Pretoria Rekord reports that the zoo is home to the largest inland aquarium on the African continent
and the new additions aim to provide a unique experience and highlight the ongoing plight of marine life
“The arrival of these animals not only adds to the beauty and diversity of our exhibits but also helps us tell a bigger story about ocean ecosystems and the threats they face,” says Tracy Rehse
The sharks arrived at Johannesburg’s OR Tambo International Airport from Kenya following a 10-hour flight and were promptly transported to the zoo
Each shark travelled in a 1 000l plastic tank fitted with a secure lid that was connected to life support systems to ensure proper oxygenation during the journey
they were carefully introduced to their new environment
salinity and pH to ensure a smooth and stress-free acclimation process
Accompanying the sharks were 220 marine fish
including striking species such as powder blue tangs
stars and stripes pufferfish and green bird wrasse
Each fish was individually transported in oxygen-rich marine water and carefully acclimated to their new habitat using controlled floating methods before joining the existing aquarium population
The blacktip reef shark (Carcharhinus melanopterus) is a fast and agile species native to the shallow waters of the Indo-Pacific region
black-tipped fins and remarkable swimming speed
these sharks are effective daytime hunters that often move in small groups
In the wild, they face growing threats from habitat destruction and overfishing and are listed as vulnerable on the International Union for Conservation Red List
While their average lifespan in the wild ranges from 10 to 12 years
they can live for over 20 years in well-maintained aquarium settings

Mamelodi Sundowns striker Peter Shalulile says his role model has always been Cristiano Ronaldo over his career and is aiming to make history at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup
looks set to end the 2024/25 season as the all-time record goal scorer in Premier Soccer League history before the global event kicks off in North America
He remains on course to win the league and CAF Champions League
with Sundowns in the final against Pyramids – and while he’s not been at his prolific best this season
he’s contributions remains invaluable across all fronts
With 101 goals and 26 assists in 201 games in all competitions since joining the club from Highlands Park in 2020
Shalulile has been an exemplary figure in South African football and he admits he’s professionalism is modelled on the Portugal legend
because he has that ’never-say-die’ attitude
He’s someone that has shaped my life in terms of physicality
and how to carry yourself,” Shalulile told FIFA.com
and with his first-ever Club World Cup on the horizon
he’s always keen to put his home country
on one of the biggest stages of club football
I just feel like there is something missing because I just want to put the ball in the net,” he said
“Showcasing my talent on that level is another massive thing because you will be going into the (history) books – that there was this is player from Namibia

Premiership
The hosts started Pogiso Sanoka, Aphiwe Baliti and Lyle Lakay in place of Neo Rapoo, Lebohang Maboe and Vincent Pule following their 1-1 draw at Polokwane City.
Matsatsantsa made the perfect start in the opening quarter when Bradley Grobler rose high in the centre of the box to head in Lyle Lakay’s pin-point cross.
The Chilli Boys fancied a route back a few moments later as Craig Martin found space around the area to get goal-side, but he went well off the mark.
Chippa were required to make a substitution three minutes past the half-hour mark and saw Bienvenu Eva Nga come on for the injured Seun Ndlovu.
Matsatsantsa missed a golden chance to grab a second goal late on when Christian Saile raced clear on goal from Grobler's pass but he fired straight at goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali.
Saile made amends two minutes into the second half after he picked up a pass from Nyiko Mobbie and curled one into the back of the net.
Chippa refused to lose shape a few minutes gone and almost halved the tally through a snap shot from a clever angle by Giovanni Philander, but he dragged wide of the mark.
With time running out, the Chilli Boys missed a golden chance to pull one back late on when Justice Chabalala nodded high and wide from a corner by Malebogo Modise.
However, Chippa ended the match with ten players in additional time as Sirgio Kammies got his marching orders for a dangerous challenge on Baliti, who was able to return to the field of play.
SuperSport United: Goss, Mobbie, Hlatshwayo, Moralo, Lakay, Okon, Sanoka, Saile, Ndlovu, Baliti, Grobler

Manqoba Mngqithi, aiming to steer Abafana Be'sthende out of the relegation zone, has led the club to part ways with two senior players.
SuperSport-Utd
READ | LATEST: Fresh FIFA transfer ban for top 8 PSL club
the 21-year-old had seemingly successful trials at Danish giants Midtjylland last year but ultimately could not make a move
allegedly due the UEFA Champions League club not agreeing on transfer fee expectations by Matsatsantsa
as the player still had one year to run on his deal
Okon had another trial stint at Ukraine powerhouse Dynamo Kiev earlier this season and has also not been able to find greener pastures
even though the Tshwane club are well aware that his current contract is expiring on 30 June 2025
His representatives could be anticipating the freedom to market the lanky defender as a free agent from 1 July
hence the dragging of feet to renew at the relegation-threatened side
all is not lost for SuperSport in making money out of Okon
as FIFA's training compensation and solidarity mechanisms make them eligible to claim money from transfer fees
According to Article 20 of the FIFA Regulations of the Status and Transfer of Players (RSTP)
training compensation has to be paid out to clubs who developed a player each time a professional player is transferred before his 23rd birthday
the training compensation costs are calculated annually
from the player's 12th birthday or from any age from 12 years old
according to category II allocated to clubs in the CAF region (multiplied by number of years developed)
READ: 'Riveiro departure has affected Pirates players'
In addition, they are also entitled to a solidarity payment, where they can still negotiate a percentage of a transfer fee paid to them (similar to a sell-on fee) as part of the training compensation, whenever the player is transferred internationally before his 23rd birthday, even if he leaves on a free.

The former Esperance coach was happy with how his side performed on the night against a stubborn City side.
“Amazing and again a very good performance again. Not an easy game, first half quite tricky we had to make some corrections in our positioning at halftime – message was well received. Second half, I think we coped even more – beautiful goals, good performance,” Cardoso told SuperSport TV.
“The boys are really fighting for what they want so much, we really committed for every match and now its go for next one and next one and try to well try to get it. But we need to respect everybody because the next opponent will again be a very tough one,” he added.
Cardoso was asked about the impact of Man of the Match Marcelo Allende and praised the enter squad.
“I think we are a humble team and humility it’s not a bad value not too much if it’s too much of course it’s not proper but having it in the right sense understanding step-by-step it’s how you make a career working hard,” Cardoso said.
“That’s what my boys are doing – Marcelo is obviously one of them – a high-quality player but it’s beautiful to see how they remain humble. We made some corrections at halftime.
“I told them there’s something that are not ok and they tried to do it immediately in the second half and we got a goal because of that.
“I’m a very proud coach, proud of the club where I work, proud of the family that supports this club or the values that we grow and also proud of the work of the boys, my staff.
“The staff around us but still a lot to fight, still a lot to fight. We have four finals to play let’s focus on the next one now,” he continued.

SuperSport had to do damage control in one way or another on 21 March
after they relieved Hunt of his duties as the club's head coach
following their struggles to get out of the bottom half of the table
Read: SuperSport, Save Us By Saving Yourselves!
the veteran coach had guided Matsatsantsa to a third place finish in the Betway Premiership but there were signs of a decline in his second campaign after United ended seventh
before he was let go with his third campaign left with two-and-half months
United's biggest mistake could have been an approach of an aggressive youth focus
Bradley Grobler and Samir Nurkovic a handful of the veterans
Because what is special about experienced players is that they tell it is as it
after Gaxa revealed the secret that made SuperSport win the title in the 2008/09 season
in spite of almost battling relegation in Hunt's first campaign at the Tshwane side following the departure of Pitso Mosimane
"We were struggling (after Hunt replaced Mosimane)
we were going down descending to the relegation
So he (Hunt) called a meeting of only the senior players
'What is the problem guys!?' The season before we were second
even season before," Gaxa revealed on Apex Sports International YouTube Channel

OPINION: Leinster’s premature exit from the Champions Cup may lead to a backlash in the United Rugby Championship
but may also serve the Bulls’ top-two ambitions
Northampton Saints and Bordeaux-Bégles will advance to the Champions Cup Final on May 24
after beating two of the pre-tournament favourites – Leinster and Toulouse – this past weekend
The Champions Cup format may be problematic
but the final stages of Europe’s elite competition never fail to deliver on quality and drama
The decider in Cardiff should be one to savour
and while Bordeaux will start as favourites
the odds on a Saints victory will be a lot shorter
following their 37-34 victory over Leinster in the semis
The result in Dublin was particularly significant
in the context of the present season as well as the past seven years
it’s fair to say that Leinster and the Irish game have lost a lot of their aura
and their consistency in recent seasons is a tribute to their outstanding structures at national and club level
suggest they are trending in the wrong direction
Ireland are no longer invincible at Lansdowne Road
The All Blacks ended an eight-year drought in Dublin last November
becoming the first Southern Hemisphere team to win there since 2016
France thrashed Ireland 42-27 at Lansdowne Road to take charge of the Six Nations
and deny the Irish a third-consecutive title
That result marked Ireland’s first home loss in the tournament since 2021
Leinster have supplied the bulk of the national side for many years
they have been incredibly consistent across the regular season
they have developed a knack for capitulating in the big matches
It’s been seven long years since Leinster last won the Champions Cup
They’ve been among the tournament favourites for the past three years
yet have lost two finals as well as the most recent semifinal against Northampton Saints
One could forgive them for prioritising the elite tournament over the URC
but it’s also worth noting how Leinster have dominated the league phase of the competition since it’s inception
only to lose three semifinals – two of those in Dublin
Leo Cullen reflects on Leinster’s loss to Northampton Saints in the Semi-Finals 🔵
“It’s going to string for a long time. We were just a little bit off for whatever reason.” 🗣️#InvestecChampionsCup pic.twitter.com/BcW0GkjaQY
— Premier Sports (@PremSportsTV) May 3, 2025
The good news is that they are still in the running for one trophy
An early exit from the Champions Cup will provide them with more time to focus on the URC play-offs – a luxury they haven’t enjoyed in previous seasons
given that so much of their energy has been invested into the Champions Cup Final
It’s a good news-bad news scenario for Leinster’s URC opponents
it was fair to expect a Leinster victory over Northampton Saints
it was fair to expect Leinster – who are eight points clear at the top of the URC log – to rest or manage their best players over the remaining league matches against Zebre Parma and the Glasgow Warriors
one would have expected a weakened or rotated side to claim two log points over the two fixtures
and to take an unassailable lead at the top of the URC standings
Leinster may have rested their best players for the Glasgow match
with an intent to peak in the subsequent Champions Cup final a week later
That course of action may have opened the door for Glasgow to win in Dublin
and ultimately home advantage for the quarter- and semi-finals
But Leinster’s Champions Cup semifinal defeat could change everything
Perhaps Jacques Nienaber and company will allow some of the players a break this week
before they commit to chasing the URC title wholeheartedly
All the stars may be back in tow for the final URC league fixture
The Bulls will watch Leinster’s movements over the next two weeks with great interest
Jake White’s charges are favourites to win their remaining league matches against Cardiff and the Dragons in Pretoria
The Bulls won’t finish second in the standings
unless Glasgow slip up against Benetton or Leinster in the coming weeks
The Bulls will be desperate to secure second place in the standings and the right to play a potential semi-final at Loftus Versfeld
Any title contender that travels overseas and back during the URC play-offs will be at a disadvantage
as the Bulls themselves discovered in 2022
and the Stormers at Cape Town Stadium in successive knockout matches
It’s worth noting that Leinster will be more dangerous in the coming URC play-offs than they have been in previous seasons
As prop Rabah Slimani put it after the defeat to Saints
as Leinster are chasing one trophy instead of two
An earlier exit from the Champions Cup may provide them with more time to physically and mentally recover
they may be in a better position to perform in the URC knockouts
the Bulls will hope that Leinster rebound and do them a favour against Glasgow
It remains to be seen whether Leinster will rise above the pressure in the URC play-offs
and whether those Irish players will succeed where they have failed so many times before
and it’s for this reason that the last few weeks on the URC will take on a new edge

Glasgow Warriors will be hoping a rare free weekend will give them a chance to recharge their batteries ahead of the United Rugby Championship run-in and play-offs
The Warriors went down 19-26 to the Bulls last week
A home quarterfinal has already been secured
but if the Warriors can hang on to second place
they will also have home advantage in the semis
With Glasgow’s out of the Champions Cup campaign over
they’ve now got a free week and skipper Kyle Steyn feels it is much needed after a gruelling season
— rugby365.com (@rugby365com) May 3, 2025
Steyn said: “We’ve got to use the fact that we don’t have a game this week to freshen up and be able to come back and then take the learnings and use the fresh energy to catapult us into this because we’ve got two really tough away games to finish and then it’s into knockout rugby and whoever’s coming here [in the quarter-final]
I haven’t played a lot of rugby this season so I’m probably a little bit better off than most of the boys but I know there are a lot of guys who
haven’t had the breaks they would have hoped for
[Rory] Darge and a lot of those boys have come straight back from Scotland camp
I’ll get out on the golf course but I just won’t mention the word rugby which will be quite nice for a week.”
Injuries have taken their toll on Glasgow this season
some players looked like they were running on empty
and the squad that took on the Bulls last week were without players like Sione Tuipulotu
The match against Bulls has added Gregor Brown
Jack Mann and Patrick Schickerling to the crocked list
“I keep hoping every week that we’ll just catch a break eventually
but it seems like there were a few [more injuries] on Friday again,” said Steyn
“And we obviously lost Joshy [McKay] during the week [to a knee infection]
“I think that’s just the way it’s going to go and we’ve just got to buckle down
Orlando Pirates coach Jose Riveiro lauded his team’s valiant performance in Saturday’s Soweto Derby
likening his players to a pack of animals known for their unwavering reliability and teamwork
The powerful metaphor resonated deeply in the context of the work ethic that Pirates have developed under his guidance
and is one of the takeaways from Mzansi’s football weekend
but also as a testament to the impressive discipline and instinctive teamwork his players have displayed
He made these comments at the post-match press conference
where his face was aglow with the thrill of victory
He thought they were performing like superhumans when he said: “They are playing every three days and performing like animals
Pirates emerged victorious from a challenging contest
showing not just skill but also tenacity and a deep-seated bond to secure their triumph
This prompted Riveiro to say: “What I saw out there was nothing short of incredible.”
Richards Bay took a massive step in their survival campaign after moving up to 11th on the log
They bagged three points from a hard-fought 1–0 win over the more fancied TS Galaxy on Sunday
the win also dealt a blow to Galaxy’s hopes of finishing in the top four
Richards Bay added to the woes of the clubs marooned at the bottom of the log
where the prospect of playing in the dreaded PSL promotion-relegation play-offs looms large
Bad luck continues to follow relegation-threatened Cape Town City
who ironically produced one of their better performances against the star-studded Mamelodi Sundowns
City exhibited moments of promise and creativity that hinted at their potential to secure a positive outcome
No wonder Sundowns coach Miguel Cardoso said afterwards: “It wasn’t an easy game.”
City’s caretaker coach Diogo Peral has come to terms with a stark reality — the club may well be facing the prospect of the end-of-season promotion-relegation play-offs
with a 15th-place finish in the Premiership looking increasingly likely
SuperSport United clinched a crucial 2–0 victory over Chippa United
marking their first win in their last seven Premiership games
It was also the first win under interim head coach Andre Arendse
SuperSport defeated Chippa United for the first time in over five years
It was a much-needed boost in their effort to escape the relegation scrap
The home crowd erupted into a euphoric frenzy when SuperSport scored their first goal — a rare sight this season
It was one of the few occasions they scored first in a match
The result was a well-deserved and long-overdue victory for a side that has faced numerous challenges in the first half of the campaign
With both teams fighting for stronger league positions
hosts AmaZulu and Polokwane City had to settle for a stalemate at the King Zwelithini Stadium
The outcome denied either side the chance to solidify their Top 8 ambitions
leaving them to reflect on missed opportunities as momentum tightens with the season’s end in sight
AmaZulu remained sixth on the log after registering their fourth draw of the season
They wrap up their campaign against Orlando Pirates on 24 May in Durban
sit seventh after fighting back to deny AmaZulu the win
They will be determined to return to winning ways against Cape Town City at home on 17 May

The EFF in Gauteng wants Afrikaner-only settlement
slamming what it terms as the preservation of the apartheid legacy
The EFF condemns such acts as a violation of the country’s values of a non-racial and inclusive South Africa
The red berets are urging Tshwane communities to join them in confronting and dismantling apartheid monuments like Kleinfontein and everything they represent
The party also calls on the City of Tshwane to reject any re-zoning applications that perpetuate racial segregation and economic exclusion in order to promote fair access to land and opportunity
says the settlement must be removed and that the party is willing to go to any length to do that
which was established two years before South Africa achieved democracy
was declared illegal in August last year by the High Court in Pretoria
says the law needs to promptly take its course in ensuring that such places are relinquished
“We will do whatever is necessary in order to stop a place like Kleinfontein
or any other white racist enclave to exist in South Africa
Ons saal dit nie ferder toe laat nie!,” proclaims Niehaus
He says the party will continue its mission to highlight the situation
which they believe contradicts the country’s values of equality and inclusion
who work in the Kleinfontein Afrikaners’ dorp (town)
claim to be prejudiced by residents of the enclave
YNews spoke to fueling station workers near the area and they reported receiving antagonistic treatment from some locals
in which one white resident of the white-only town told a black employee that he should speak Afrikaans if he wants to secure a tip from him
so the guy expected me to pretty much help him first
There was an incident where an attendant was told that he will not get a tip if he doesn’t speak Afrikaans,” says anonymous
barred customers from using its public toilets during the EFF march on Friday
The marchers also seek the removal of a billboard near the town that reads “Welkom in AfriForum wereld”
The demonstrators eventually encamped before the white-only town’s entrance
demanding that the City of Tshwane’s urgent action against the white-only town be implemented
Kleinfontein’s racism must be addressed since it forces black people to servitude while providing them with no sanctuary
Dunga believes that the party’s march to the racist town was necessary to demonstrate that the party is aware of its existence in the country and its intention continue manufacturing racism
He slammed as unacceptable the fact that black people in the community are solely forced to hard labour and cannot reside there
“We are here to tell them that this is the same racism that we are calling against because we can never allow an area to be a white-only area where black people are only subjected to sweat and slavery but cannot reside in those areas
There is no area in South Africa or Tshwane
that is a black-only area,” exclaims Dunga
He goes on to say that residents of the white-only town now denigrate black people because they chose to reconcile with white people
He believes it is about time for the country to address historical injustices
such as the oppression of black people during apartheid
believes Kleinfontein should not only be considered illegal
“We went to municipalities to ask them to expropriate abandoned buildings that are hijacked and to convert them to student accommodation
The municipalities told us about spatial zoning
When white people occupy farms that are supposed to be for agricultural purposes
and they are not removed or told about spatial zoning
We don’t want them to only be rendered illegal
we want their house to be demolished,” states Gxabashe
The party calls for immediate action against the racist town
which includes a statue of apartheid architect Hendrick Verwoerd
The party wants the capital city to immediately enforce the Gauteng High Court’s order on the Afrikaner dorp by halting all illegal developments there
The City of Tshwane’s Head of Housing
promising to respond to their demands within the next two weeks
Chipu appeared to reflect the party’s sentiments on the white-only town
“There is no way that the township can actually be accepted on the basis that it is not actually addressing the injustice of the past
I accept the memorandum on behalf of the City of Tshwane
and I will be able to share it with the officials,” said Chipu
The locals have meanwhile defended the area
rejecting claims that they are racist and are preserving apartheid
They have instead described the area as a cultural town

SuperSport United interim coach Andre Arendse says he is proud of his team after beating Chippa United 2-0 on Saturday
Seasoned striker Bradley Grobler and winger Christian Saile scored in either half to boost SuperSport United's chances of avoiding relegation from the Betway Premiership
In a post-match interview with SuperSport Television
the Bafana Bafana goalkeeping legend said he was relieved that players are applying what they learn in training
but proud is the word because the players carried out the things we have been implementing in training the whole week and they put smiles on their faces," Arendse said
Despite the Pretoria-based team breaking a six-game winless run in the league
"The players know that this is just the beginning
We need to keep doing this for the rest of the season," he added

Mamelodi Sundowns cemented their spot at the top of the Premiership with a 2-0 win over Cape Town City on Saturday evening
edging tantalisingly closer to an eighth consecutive league title – a monumental feat in South African football history
Coach Miguel Cardoso’s team (61 points after 24 games) are now 12 points clear of second-placed Orlando Pirates (22)
who have 49 after their dramatic 2-1 Soweto derby win over Kaizer Chiefs earlier on Saturday
Attacking midfielder Tashreeq Matthews gave Masandawana a 1-0 halftime lead after a rousing first half at the Cape Town Stadium in Green Point
On two occasions in the opening four minutes
City managed to round the Brazilians’ defence
This pressure earned them the game’s first corner
but goalkeeper Ronwen Williams gathered well to nullify the set-piece
Sundowns managed to thwart City’s early attacking forays before it reached the fringes of their goalmouth
but their only reward was Matthews’ 34th-minute strike after a fine feed from teammate Iqraam Rayners
who earlier managed to beat the offside trap
there were plenty of “oohs” and “ahs” from the fans as both defences survived close calls after several half-chances emerged
play swung like a pendulum from one end to the other
highlighting the attacking intent of the teams
The heart and tenacity of the teams displayed belied the fact that the game was a contest between teams at different ends of the Premiership standings
Sundowns’ class came to the fore when they doubled their score through Rayners
who ran smartly to latch onto an Arthur Sales through-ball for the side’s insurance goal
the Sundowns fans raised a huge cheer to welcome their captain Themba Zwane
who entered the fray at the expense of Matthews
The Brazilians will be in action again on Wednesday when they host Chippa United
rock bottom on the log with 24 points after 27 games
will travel to Polokwane for a clash next Saturday
SuperSport United defeated Chippa United for the first time in over five years to move out of the relegation zone after a convincing 2-0 victory in the Betway Premiership at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane on Saturday
Matsatsantsa a Pitori secured their first win in their last seven league games
and their first win under interim head coach Andre Arendse
SuperSport dominated the opening quarter of an hour and were rewarded with the opening goal in the 17th minute
as Lyle Lakay’s cross found Bradley Grobler at the far post
who headed the ball in from close range for his fourth goal in just 10 attempts on target this season
Chippa had the opportunity to draw level in the 25th minute
as Papama Tyongwana’s long ball found Craig Martin
whose cross to Siya Ndlovu was too far behind him
Christian Saile and Lakay broke forward but could not complete the two-on-three break
as Lakay’s cross was deflected and collected easily by Chippa goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali
Matsatsantsa took their one-goal lead into halftime
with Chippa being caught offside five times in the half and managing only one shot on target
SuperSport doubled their lead just three minutes into the second half, as Nyiko Mobbie’s ball forward found Christian Saile, who cut onto his left and curled the ball passed Nwabali into the back of the net for his fourth goal, and Mobbie’s first assist of the season.
The Chilli Boys nearly pulled one back in the 59th minute, as Giovanni Philander’s free-kick from a tight angle had to be punched over the crossbar by the backpedaling SuperSport goalkeeper Ricardo Goss.
Siphesihle Ndlovu could have added another goal for Matsatsantsa in the 65th minute as Lakay’s cross from a set piece found him open in the box, but he skied his effort over the bar.
Grobler nearly bagged his second of the game in the 67th minute as Saile’s cross glanced off the head of Makhele, falling into Grobler’s path, but he too couldn't find the target.
Sirgio Kammies added to Chippa’s woes as he received a red card in the 91st minute for a dangerous tackle.
The victory sees SuperSport move above Richards Bay on goal difference into 13th spot on the Betway Premiership log. They will hope to carry the momentum into their upcoming clash against Stellenbosch FC at the Danie Craven Stadium on 17 May.
The loss for the Chilli Boys sees them drop to ninth place on the log as they are now winless in their last four away games and their last four league fixtures. They will look to bounce back against Mamelodi Sundowns at Loftus Versfeld on Wednesday

Mamelodi Sundowns are in Cape Town this weekend for their upcoming fixture against Cape Town City FC in the Betway Premiership on Saturday night at the Cape Town Stadium
Masandawana come from a midweek clash at home
after focusing on cup competitions for a while
they were on the better side when they outclassed Richards Bay in a 3-0 meeting
the mandate will remain the same for Bafana Ba Style: to collect all points on offer and extend their lead at the top of the tally
The 3-0 win over the Western Cape side in the first half of the season will also help boost their morale ahead of the reverse fixture
forward Tashreeq Matthews said the team had little time to prepare for the match
but they’ll still fight hard to emerge victorious
“We haven’t had enough time to prepare for this game
We also trained in Cape Town to acclimatize ourselves to the environment.”
“It’s a big game for us because we are on top and trying to extend the lead
A win is also important for Cape Town City because they want to get out of the relegation zone
and for them to be at the bottom is surprising
and we hope to get positive results,” the forward said
Mamelodi Sundowns will clash against Cape Town City on Saturday night at the Cape Town Stadium

South Africa remains one of the most unequal countries in the world. The country’s per-capita expenditure Gini coefficient, a measure of how spending from income is distributed, stands at 0.65. This puts it among countries with the most unequal distribution of spending globally
Nearly 55% of the population were living in poverty in 2023. The country also has one of the highest unemployment rates in the world: 33.5% in the second quarter of 2024. To compound these issues, economic growth has stagnated since 2008
unemployment and inequality requires economic growth that includes more people
there must be a set of interventions that work together
One intervention being considered in South Africa is basic income support to relieve poverty among unemployed citizens
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, basic income support had been on the policy agenda in South Africa for at least two decades, since the Taylor Committee in 2001
The pandemic made existing inequalities worse through job losses
A “social relief of distress” grant was introduced in 2020 to support the unemployed
The grant targeted those affected by sudden income loss
including unemployed working-age individuals who did not qualify for other grants
The introduction of the grant renewed interest in the concept of a universal basic income
or a more comprehensive form of income support
It highlighted the welfare potential for a more permanent basic income support system
In a recently published paper
a team of economists explored the possible effects of introducing permanent basic income support to:
only unemployed individuals in extremely poor households
The economic modelling exercise demonstrates that a basic income grant targeting all individuals aged between 18 and 59 could significantly reduce poverty and inequality
require carefully targeted and implemented interventions over a multi-year period
The study identifies which socio-economic groups would benefit the most from the grant
and sheds light on the impact of basic income support on the welfare and livelihoods of individuals and their households
We used market income or pre-transfer income as the starting point to see how public spending changed poverty or income inequality
We used data from the 2017 Quarterly Labour Force Survey
a measure of employment and unemployment based on the country’s working population
The first scenario was based on the universal grant being paid to all those aged 18 to 59
only those aged 18-59 who were unemployed received it
only those who lived in extremely poor households and were unemployed in 2017 were included
Some form of support exists for children under 18 (child grant) and for adults aged 60 and over (pension)
That’s why we allocated the grant only for adults from 18 to 59
the income support transfer is assumed to be R595 (US$38) per individual per month in 2021
equivalent to what it cost to provide a basic basket of food (that is
We use R595 as it closely aligns with the COVID social relief of distress grant extension and reflects the grant amount for the 2021/22 financial year
a basic income support grant has the potential to reduce poverty and inequality in South Africa
the effect varies based on the targeting mechanism used to identify beneficiaries
its gap (the ratio by which the mean income of the poor falls below the poverty line) and income inequality fall the most when the transfer is universal or targets the unemployed and the extreme poor
In the first scenario (support for all individuals aged 18 to 59) and the third scenario (the unemployed and extremely poor)
both poverty headcount (the percentage of the population living below the national poverty line) and the poverty gap (the ratio by which the mean income of the poor falls below the poverty line) decrease more than in the second scenario (targeting only the unemployed)
The income inequality reduction is also larger in the first and third scenarios compared to the second scenario
The significance of these findings is that better targeting makes basic income support more pro-poor and progressive
and reduces the leakage of the benefit to the non-poor
where poverty and inequality are extensive and public resources are limited
But it’s important to recognise that effective targeting entails higher administrative costs
while a universal basic income grant may be more expensive in terms of total disbursement
it has the greatest potential to reduce poverty and overall inequality
The government can make the best use of its resources by focusing on vulnerable populations
such as those who are extremely poor and unemployed
Finding the right criteria to identify the poor
largely determines the programme’s success in improving welfare
South Africa is currently saddled with high poverty and inequality. Our study brings the debate on the potential welfare benefits of expanding existing social grants back to the forefront of social policy.
JOHANNESBURG - The whites-only settlement in Pretoria is expected to receive uninvited visitors on Friday
as the Economic Freedom Fighters (EEF) plan a march to the community
located in the eastern parts of the capital
has recently drawn attention for its segregationist policies
similar to those of Orania in the Northern Cape
The EFF said more than 30 years into democracy
Kleinfontein cannot continue to exist as an exclusively white community
[WATCH] 'It's basically taxing us out of our properties' - Dannie De Beer, Kleinfontein spokesperson
Asked whether black people were welcome to live in Kleinfontein
replied to Eyewitness News: "Your question was directly about race
anybody of any colour that fits the Afrikaner culture and applied successfully can live here."
The settlement has recently faced growing public attention, with both the EFF and uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party expressing outrage over its continued segregationist policies
The red berets have labelled the settlement as a pro-apartheid enclave
Kleinfontein maintains that it is not a whites-only community
but is focused on preserving the Afrikaner culture
