Orlando Pirates

The Betway Premiership mid-season transfer window has closed. There were big movements among some of South Africa's biggest clubs, so which of Mamelodi Sundowns, Orlando Pirates, or Kaizer Chiefs did the best business in January?

Stellenbosch will host Kaizer Chiefs on Wednesday in the pick of the Nedbank Cup round of 32 fixtures.

Orlando Pirates can reclaim top spot in the Betway Premiership with a win over Sekhukhune United in Polokwane.

There are elements of success in South Africa's team, but cracks are beginning to show, and they'll need to fill them before the FIFA World Cup in North America later this year.

With the Africa Cup of Nations Last 16 here, we have some juicy ties to look forward to, including Algeria vs DR Congo and South Africa vs Cameroon.

Orlando Pirates have confirmed the long-anticipated signing of New Zealand forward Andre de Jong from Stellenbosch FC in a move likely intended to tie other elements of their attacking line together.

Bafana Bafana qualified for the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) last 16 with a 3-2 win over neighbours Zimbabwe that showed flashes of brilliance, but did not silence doubts about their title credentials.

The road back to the top of Africa arguably began years before current coach Hugo Broos took the Bafana Bafana job in May 2021 - as one of his predecessors began transforming South Africa's football.

South Africa secured a scrappy but vital 2-1 win over Angola in Marrakesh on Monday courtesy of Burnley striker Lyle Foster's winner to take the early lead in Group B.
