South African Premier News
A minority party within South Africa's ruling coalition government have reported Hugo Broos to the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) over comments regarding Mbekezeli Mbokazi and his agent, Basia Michaels.
Orlando Pirates' preparation for the Carling Knockout final against Marumo Gallants at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane has been overshadowed by Mbekezeli Mbokazi's imminent move to Chicago Fire.
South Africa coach Hugo Broos has named a formidable Bafana Bafana squad for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, though it is probably not one that can be considered favourites to win the tournament in Morocco.
Kaizer Chiefs can ill afford any further slip-ups in the CAF Confederation Cup when they host Zamalek at Polokwane's Peter Mokaba Stadium on Saturday.
Mamelodi Sundowns appear to be gradually rediscovering their rhythm, but face a tough test as they visit former head coach Rhulani Mokwena's in-form MC Alger in the CAF Champions League on Friday.
