Kaizer Chiefs fans plead for Mama Joy and Saleng
The comments sections on this publication rarely disappoint. Kaizer Chiefs fans want Mamy Joy and Monnapule Saleng at Naturena. Infamous public figure Mama Jot leads a life most sports fanatics in South Africa can only dream of. Orlando Pirates star Monnapule Saleng is still unsure where he will be playing his football next season. 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. The player's reluctance to stay is a big issue, but that doesn't mean they can't get a good sum for the 26-year-old. The record departure in Pirates history was €2.3 million (R44 million) when Mbulelo 'Oldjohn' Mabizela moved to Tottenham in 2003-2004. It's unlikely the Sea Robbers can fetch a number in that region, but there's no reason why the 2022-2023 PSL Player of the Year shouldn't command a decent fee. The talk of the town. Image: Sydney Mahlangu/BackpagePix Nobody has ever questioned the loyalty of Kaizer Chiefs fans. Just look at the continuous disappointments they have to face 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? Should Chiefs make a proposal to sign Saleng? Let us know by leaving a comment below, or sending a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1.

'No single footballer is bigger than the mighty Orlando Pirates'
Orlando Pirates have a massive winter ahead of them with incoming and outgoings expected. Can they ship Monnapule Saleng off to the highest bidder? 27-year-old Saleng has attracted interest from Europe. The mercurial winger is at an impasse with the club after not featuring in 2025. The player's reluctance to stay is a big issue, but that doesn't mean they can't get a good sum for the 26-year-old. The record departure in Pirates history was €2.3 million (R44 million) when Mbulelo 'Oldjohn' Mabizela moved to Tottenham in 2003-2004. It's unlikely the Sea Robbers can fetch a number in that region, but there's no reason why the 2022-2023 PSL Player of the Year shouldn't command a decent fee. There was reported interest from Monaco in France's Ligue 1 and Standard Liege in Belgium. They should be looking to recover at least half (R22 million), especially if they can bring Sundowns to the market. The main question there is, do they want to strengthen a rival? Rulani drops cryptic comments amid Pirates links R40 million, or something in that ball-park, would be a wonderful amount of money for the board to use when securing more local talent. If no single player is bigger than their club, then everyone's got a price. Sesane fitness update Will the Chiefs slayer return?
