South African Premier News
After years of monopoly and then duopoly in the South African Premiership, the days of three-horse races between the traditional 'Big Three' may finally be about to return.
Kaizer Chiefs will play their first South African Premiership match under new head coach Fernando da Cruz on Saturday, as they visit Kruger United at Mbombela Stadium.
Orlando Pirates will begin their South African Premiership title defence at home to newly-promoted Milford FC at Orlando Amstel Arena on Saturday.
He may not quite be Erling Haaland, but Sebastian Pedersen is precisely the mould of player who Orlando Pirates have been crying out for.
Cape Town City attacking midfielder/winger Emile Witbooi is generating interest from England, Spain, Germany, France, Belgium and the US, as well as other African clubs, Roc Nation Sports International (RNSI) told ESPN.
