Kaizer Chiefs rumours: Mama Joy in the news, star owes SARS R6 million
This morning's Kaizer Chiefs news wrap has a nice little Mama Joy anecdote and a huge SARS bill for a star midfielder.
Gaston Sirino is in hot water with the South African Revenue Services.
Monnapule Saleng is a forgotten figure but Pirates need to find a buyer.
Mayele will only come to South Africa for 'Amapiano and a holiday'
Nobody has ever questioned the loyalty of Kaizer Chiefs fans. Just look at the continuous disappointments they have faced, and they just keep getting back up off the ground. Could Mama Joy become the latest Chiefs 'Super Fan' to keep morale in the stadium up? We've seen this suggestion more than once this week in our comments sections. Mama Joy doing what she does best.

After Pirates hesitated to sell Monnapule Saleng, and with all possible suitors knowing he's unhappy at the club, that will certainly drive his price down. Pirates' bargaining position is significantly weakened. Can they still sell the mercurial winger to a South African side?

Orlando Pirates news: Rulani, Moremi, Kwayiba, Tau
Orlando Pirates are reportedly looking to bring back Rulani Mokwena as their head coach next season. The 38-year-old parted ways with Wydad Casablanca in May and is currently a free agent. With the departure of Jose Riveiro, the Buccaneers are in search of a new coach before their pre-season training resumes. According to iDiski Times , talks between Mokwena and Pirates have reached an advanced stage, but 'some finer details still need to be ironed out'. The publication said that Rulani wanted Michael Loftman as his assistant coach, however Orlando Pirates were keen on keeping Mandla Ncikazi as part of the technical team. The Buccaneers have already released four players since the conclusion of the 2024/25 Betway Premiership season. Although they are yet to make any announcement, it is believed that Sinoxolo Kwayiba will be a Bucs player next season. The Bafana Bafana midfielder did indicate that he would love to leave Chippa United for a big club. 'Let's hope [that I'll join a big club], I have been praying and I'm happy with my performance for Bafana Bafana,' Kwayiba said during the COSAFA Cup. 'I want to do more, and I hope the move is going to happen. So I'm hoping to play for a big team and then move overseas. That's my dream, and it's going to happen. 'I won't mention any name of the team for now, but I want to play for one of the big three,' he added. Another player linked with Orlando Pirates is Tshepang Moremi. The talented winger recently left AmaZulu but the Buccaneers are yet to confirm if they indeed signed the player. Tau is now a free agent having left Qatar after a short stint. He did admit that he would like to play for Orlando Pirates or any of the big teams if the right offer comes. With Rulani potentially joining the Buccaneers, maybe Tau might be tempted.

Kaizer Chiefs news: Four players missing, Mbule talks heat up
Kaizer Chiefs returned to training on January 20, but were without Mduduzi Shabalala, Bruce Bvuma, Wandile Duba, and Aden McCarthy, who were granted additional leave having participated in the COSAFA Cup. Each player is expected to board the plane to Europe for pre-season. AmaKhosi's chances of signing free agent Sipho Mbule are still a possibility. The former Mamelodi Sundowns outfielder has been offered to Kaizer Chiefs by agent Mike Makaab, but the club have yet to make a decision. Meanwhile, Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates are tussling to sign SuperSport United's youngster Neo Rapoo. 'Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs are both keen to sign SuperSport United left-back Neo Rapoo ahead of the new season,' an inside source revealed. 'His performances as he led South Africa U20 to the Africa Cup of Nations title earned him interest in Scandinavia and the Gulf but sources as Matsatsansa have confirmed Chiefs and Pirates are both seriously after the player who is seen as future senior national team left-back.' 'With Orlando Pirates having released Paseka Mako and the retirement of Innocent Maela, their interest on the promising full-back comes as no surprise, while Chiefs are looking to remedy a position that has plagued them in the last couple of seasons.'

Juventus primed for Club World Cup challenge against Lorch and Mailula's Wydad
Juventus manager Igor Tudor played down suggestions that his team are showing signs of end-of-season fatigue, insisting his players are motivated and ready to compete as they prepare to face Moroccan side Wydad Casablanca in the Club World Cup on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field. The match kicks off at 6pm, South African time. Juventus opened their campaign with an emphatic 5-0 victory over UAE's Al Ain, and a win against Wydad, who boast two South Africans Thembinkosi Lorch and Casius Mailula in their set-up, would secure their progression to the next stage. Such a result would set up a highly anticipated Group G showdown with Manchester City on Thursday, likely to determine the group winners. Speaking to reporters on Saturday, Tudor said he sees no signs of lethargy in his squad. 'I don't see any signs of fatigue in the team; on the contrary, I see a lot of enthusiasm,' he said. 'It's a pleasure to see them enjoying playing together. They started the last match like it was a final. There's more confidence in them now, not just a little but a lot more. They're enjoying what we're building together, and that's a fantastic thing.' Lorch was unhappy at Sundowns: Cardoso as star is loaned to Wydad 'Lorch is not a young player. In the past year he has not played much so it was important to let him go' Sport 4 months ago Tudor, who took over in March after the dismissal of Thiago Motta, has overseen a remarkable turnaround at the Turin club. Juventus were floundering outside the Serie A top four and had been eliminated from all cup competitions when Tudor arrived. However, under his guidance, the team suffered just one further league defeat, finishing fourth to secure Champions League qualification. Reflecting on his tenure thus far, Tudor expressed pride in his players' professionalism and commitment. 'I have great professionals who've been available from the first day to the last,' he said. 'There's been a lot of work behind the scenes, but we've also developed a better understanding of the game and what I ask of them as a coach.' Despite the strong start in the Club World Cup, Tudor urged his squad to remain focused. 'Juventus should be ambitious, but we must stay humble and work hard with our heads down,' he said. 'I always tell the players to focus on training and take each match as it comes. Maybe I bore them by saying it, but that's the mindset we need.' Juventus' clash with Wydad Casablanca will be a key test of their progress under Tudor, with the Italian side looking to maintain momentum ahead of the knockout stages of the tournament.
