Bafana Bafana has come a long way since Hugo Broos took over in 2021. Many were concerned about his management style, but he has revolutionised the way the National team plays. The team plays with passion and grit and ultimately, they are more committed than ever. Broos has collected some impressive results, with none more special than the bronze medal at the 2023 African Cup of Nations (AFCON). In recent weeks, Broos has been the subject of rumours stating he's leaving the National team to take up a job with Club Brugge in his home country, Belgium. SAFA and Broos have denied these rumours, however, Mzansi is worried given how much he has done for Bafana. All teams go through their dominant eras, however, locally and internationally, Kaizer Chiefs and Manchester United have had the hardest falls from grace, having both been dominant forces for decades, only to now be classified as mid-table teams. Supporters are the lifeblood of clubs, but many seem to walk away when their teams are underperforming. Surely when your team is in a rut, support means more to them? Supporters need to stand by their cubs and support them through thick and thin! On the latest episode of the Fan Reaction Show, Mzansi reacts to rumours circulating about Hugo Broos Leaving Bafana Bafana. The fans speak about supporting big clubs such as Kaizer Chiefs and Manchester United during tough times. SL Radio on SoccerLaduma.co.za

The Soweto Derby, in recent years, has truly been dominated by Orlando Pirates, with Kaizer Chiefs struggling to gain ownership of the bragging rights the fixture has to offer. The Bucs seem to constantly have the edge over their noisy neighbours and quite frankly, it seems as though the Amakhosi faithful have finally had enough of their performances against their arch-rivals. The latest edition of this fixture, was not short of goals and excitement, having been a 5-goal thriller, with two braces - one from each team. But ultimately, it was the Buccaneers who were victorious having won 3-2 thanks to goals by Monnapule Saleng and Thabiso Lebtiso. On the latest episode of the Fan Reaction Show, Khosi nation have expressed their disappointment with their Kaizer Chiefs' performance and have questioned the stature of the coaching staff, firing shots at head coach, Cavin Johnson.

Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates will lock horns once again, on Saturday 9 March at the FNB Stadium. In recent matchups, it has been the Buccaneers who have accumulated the points, and of course the bragging rights. Amakhosi will be hoping to avoid another goal drought and build on their recent win over Golden Arrows. In recent years, both Chiefs and Pirates have produced underwhelming performances in all competitions, and it appears as though Mzansi no longer consider these teams 'big clubs,' as this transpired into the loss of value and importance which has also been the Soweto Derby? On the latest episode of the Fan Reaction Show, Mzansi debates whether or not the Soweto Derby is still an important fixture or one of a standard DStv Premiership fixture.

The Nedbank Cup has moved on to the last 16, with the Round of 32 bringing some interesting results. Goals galore from Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns, and more misery for Kazier Cheifs and Cavin Jonhson. Amakhosi bowed out of the Nedbank Cup after they lost on penalties (5-4) to Milford FC. Overall, the Nedbank Cup Round of 32 brought with it some interesting results, and some spectacular football!

Bafana Bafana is coming back home with the entire nation supporting them after a stellar 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). Hugo Broos and his team ended the tournament in the third spot after beating the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) on penalties. The team played the entire tournament with grit, desire, and a massive amount of passion; something that we have not seen come from the team in quite some time. Hugo Broos has managed to gel the players and ultimately, they can all give themselves a pat on the back. On the latest episode of the Fan Reaction Show, Mzansi praises Bafana Bafana and Hugo Broos after a superb 2023 AFCON performance. The nation also selects their personal Bafana player of the tournament. SL Radio on SoccerLaduma.co.za

Bafana Bafana are continuing to show their courage and prowess after they beat Cape Verde in their 2023 African Cup of Nations quarter-final match-up. The game went all the way to penalties after the regulation time of 120 ended goalless. Cape Verde took the first spot kick which saw Captain Ronwen Williams pull out a miraculous save. The 32-year-old's heroics did not stop there as he ended up saving 4 out of Cape Verde's 5 penalties. Bafana Bafana ultimately overcame Cape Verde 2-1 via a penalty shootout. On the latest episode of the Fan Reaction Show, Mzansi reacts to Bafana Bafana and Mamelodi Sundown's goalkeeper Ronwen Williams and his 2023 AFCON heroics and discusses whether or not he could make it to Europe!

It seems as though Bafana Bafana has turned a corner when you take a step back and look at how their 2023 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) performances have gone thus far. They began with a 2-0 loss to Mali, but they pushed through and ultimately, have just beaten Morocco to make it to the quarter-finals. Hugo Broos has gotten his team to play with a certain level of passion and vigour - this looks like a completely different team! On the latest episode of the Fan Reaction Show, Mzansi expresses pure joy with Bafana's 2023 African Cup of Nations run. Bafana now faces Cape Verde in the Quarter Finals and Mzansi is adamant that Hugo Broos and Bafana can go all the way. SL Radio on SoccerLaduma.co.za

Bafana Bafana has made it through the group stages of the 2024 Africa Cup Of Nations (AFCON), finishing second in a tough group, with Mali topping the group by 1 point. Hugo Broos and his team will now face off against Morroco in the round of 16, which is sure to be a firecracker of a fixture - the last time these teams met, Bafana took all 3 points! Hugo Broos seems to have the reigns under control and with his knowledge of the tournament, perhaps it is by time that we acknowledge that the Belgian might be the right man for the job. On the latest episode of the Fan Reaction Show, Mzansi reacts to Bafana Bafana progressing to the 2024 AFCON knockout rounds where they face off against Africa's highest-ranked team, Morroco. SL Radio on SoccerLaduma.co.za

Bafana Bafana seems to have turned a corner after giving Namibia an AFCON thumping they will struggle to forget. Goals from Percy Tau, Themba Zwane, and Thapelo Maseko saw Bafana claim all 3 points in a 4-nil victory. Hugo Broos's team played with passion and vigour and they looked to gelling very well. Free-flowing football with well-strung passes made it very difficult for Namibia to break down. The big question now is, will Broos and Bafana keep the momentum when they take on Tunisia? This match ultimately decides their fate. A win or a draw will see Bafana have a great chance at progressing through to the knockout rounds. Broos will have to ensure the team is well prepared for not only a physical battle but a mental one too. On the latest episode of the Fan Reaction Show, Mzansi reacts to Bafana Bafana's victory over Namibia and questions how Hugo Broos will prepare the team for when they take on Tunisia in a must-win match at AFCON 2024. SL Radio on SoccerLaduma.co.za

Bafana Bafana kicked off their 2024 Africa Cup Of Nations (AFCON) with a 2-0 loss to Mali. Bafana had multiple chances that they failed to capitalise on; chances such as Percy Tau's miss which at this level, should not be happening. Hugo Broos's team had some good spells of play in the first half, but they failed to grab even a single point from their opening match. Broos has some thinking today considering the next team standing in his way, Namibia, grabbed their first-ever AFCON win after beating Tunisia 1-0. Bafana cannot afford to not use the few chances that they create because if they do, an early exit is imminent. On the latest episode of the Fan Reaction Show, Mzansi reacts to Bafana Bafana's 2-0 loss to Mali in their opening 2024 AFCON match. The fans analyse the performance and mention what is needed to take on teams such as Namibia and Tunisia. SL Radio on SoccerLaduma.co.za

The Carling Knockout Cup is Officially over in all its might and Glory. Stellies FC were ultimately crowned champions which meant they had the chance to take on the Carling Knockout Cup All Stars last weekend. The All-Stars were comprised of players selected by you, the fans! Stellies fell just short of the Mark thanks to goals by Kaizer Chiefs duo, Mfundo Vilakazi and Ashley Du Preez. One other Kaizer Chiefs player stood out and in turn, was named Man Of The Match. Itumeleng Khune put on a stellar performance and given that in recent weeks, he had some off-field issues which saw him be suspended by his club, it goes to show his professionalism and love for the sport. The 2024 AFCON (Africa Cup of Nations) commences on Saturday 13 January with Bafana Bafana taking the field for the first time on Tuesday 16 January. Hugo Broos feels very confident with his team selection but many question the absence of some stars. Will this year be Bafana's year or will Broos's men crumble within a very tough group? On the latest episode of the Fan Reaction Show, Mzansi shares their thoughts on Hugo Broos' Bafana Bafana team selection and comment on Itumeleng Khune's cosmic performance for the Carling Knockout Cup All Stars.

2023 has come and gone and with it, saw some memorable moments. Mamelodi Sundowns won the inaugural African Football League and we saw Orlando Pirates retain their MTN8 title. The DStv Premiership has also grown to the point where there are no longer 'small teams.' Above and beyond the results, we also saw multiple coaches being sacked and hired, and we also had a handful of players making headlines! On the latest episode of the Fan Reaction Show, Mzansi discusses the highlights of PSL football in 2023 and discusses what 2024 has in store! SL Radio on SoccerLaduma.co.za

It is no secret that Mzansi craves football 24/7. With so many competitions and tournaments going on all at once, South Africans are overwhelmed with the quantity and quality of football, that some feel 'lost' during the rest periods when club football stops intermittently. To combat this feeling, communities around the country have joined forces to arrange, host, and run supported-based tournaments, allowing Mzansi to keep their spirits high, watching the sport we all know and love. On the latest episode of the Fan Reaction Show, Mzansi expressed joy towards community football tournaments being hosted during the festive period. SL Radio on SoccerLaduma.co.za

After 18 years and 185 Caps, Banyana Banyana defender Janine Van Wyk has retired from International football - becoming the most-capped African player of all time. Van Wyk guided Banyana to their first-ever World Cup appearance and helped the team win the 2022 Women's African Cup Of Nations (WAFCON).

SL Radio on SoccerLaduma.co.za

For the past 24 years, Itumeleng Khune has been with Kaizer Chiefs, first in the youth system and then in the first team. In over 2 decades, we have never seen a report that suggests Khune has alcohol problems, let alone arriving to training 'drunk.' The news of the 36-year-old allegedly arriving to training intoxicated has taken Mzansi by storm, and the club has since suspended the player pending further investigation. On the latest episode of the Fan Reaction Show, Mzansi is still in shock after learning about Kaizer Chiefs goalie Itumeleng Khune's behaviour in recent days, as the club captain allegedly arrived at training under the influence of alcohol.

The international break has come to an end for now, during this break, Bafana Bafana had 2 World Cup qualifying matches against Benin and Rwanda respectively. A mixed bag of results was the outcome with a 2-1 win over Benin and a surprising 2-0 loss to Rwanda. Many are questioning the selection process and choices of coach Hugo Broos which saw multiple overseas-based players getting the nod, leaving performing PSL-based players scratching their heads. On the latest episode of the Fan Reaction Show, Mzansi gives his opinions on the team selection of Hugo Broos during Bafana Bafana's recent World Cup Qualifying matches. SL Radio on SoccerLaduma.co.za

Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs faced off once again in the Soweto Derby with the Buccaneers going into the match as favourites considering the turmoil which Chiefs are going through. Multiple changes of coaches and technical teams, lack of will up front, and lacklustre defenders proved too much for Chiefs as Pirates won thanks to a single goal by Evidence Makgopa. Kaizer Chiefs need to go back to the drawing board if they wish to turn things around. Mamelodi Sundowns became the first-ever champions of the African Football League (AFL) after they overcame a 1-goal deficit against Wydad Casablanca. Rulani Mokwena and his team showed their class by beating the Moroccan giants 2-0 on the day, and 3-2 on aggregate. Sundowns have now bagged a cool $4 million which will only mean one thing - Sundowns will get better and better. On the latest episode of the Fan Reaction Show, Mzansi reacts to the latest Soweto Derby which saw Orlando Pirates Beat Kaizer Chiefs in their DStv Premiership clash. The fans have their say on the Mamelodi Sundowns squad after Masandawana beat Wydad Casablanca in the inaugural African Football League Final. SL Radio on SoccerLaduma.co.za

The Carling Black Label Knockout Cup has officially reached the business end of the competition with four teams remaining; Richards Bay takes on Stellenbosch FC and AmaZulu faces TS Galaxy. None of the so-called 'big teams' are present in the sem-finals which poses the question 'Do big teams and small teams still exist?' The South African footballing fraternity, The PSl, AmaZulu, and the Nutli family suffered a tragic loss this week, with AmaZulu striker Bongi Ntuli passing away. The passing of the 32-year-old came as a shock to all. A highly talented footballer who was respected on and off the pitch; may his soul rest in peace. On the latest episode of the Fan Reaction Show, Mzansi questions whether or not big teams still exist in South African Football with Kaizer Chiefs, Mamelodi Sundowns, and Orlando Pirates all exiting the Carling Black Label Knockout Cup.

The Springboks have just been crowned World Champions of Rugby for the fourth time when they lifted their second consecutive William Webb-Ellis Trophy. We as a nation were completely united behind the team; South Africa was one nation. The question is, why don't Bafana Bafana get the same level of support as that of the Springboks? Perhaps it's funding, perhaps it's performance. The fact remains - Bafana Bafana has a long way to go and a lot to do to be supported as much as the Springboks. Cavin Johnson and Kaizer Chiefs began their partnership exactly where Chiefs left off, with yet another loss. This is clearly not the start Johnson and co would have liked, but Mzansi suggests time is needed. On the latest episode of the Fan Reaction Show, Mzansi reacts to Kaizer Chiefs' 2-1 loss to Golden Arrows and gives their verdict on newly appointed coach, Cavin Johnson. Mzansi also speaks about the level of support Bafana received, compared to that of the Springboks. SL Radio on SoccerLaduma.co.za

Kaizer Chiefs fans were at it again over the weekend, when they expressed their frustrations through aggression and violence. For the fourth time this year, 'hooligans' within Khosi Nation were throwing bottles at Chiefs' technical team and vandalising the stadium. Chiefs were warned after the last time, that should it occur once more, a stadium ban would be imminent. The violence occurred after the Carling Black Label Knockout Cup match between Kaizer Chiefs and AmaZulu, The Glamour Boys will now travel to the Mpumalanga Stadium to face off against Golden Arrows, but do the fans feel safe, and should Chiefs fans be banned? PSL legend Bernard Parker suffered what might be a career-ending injury during TS Galaxy's matchup against Mamelodi Sundowns. The 37-year-old suffered a broken leg after Bongani Zungu entered a tackle studs-up, and connected with Parker's ankle. On the latest episode of the Fan Reaction Show, Mzansi offers well-wishes to PSl Legend, Bernard Parker. The fans express their disgust towards Kaizer Chiefs fans for once against abusing Chiefs' management and for violent behaviour. SL Radio on SoccerLaduma.co.za

The 2023 Carling Black Label Cup is set to commence on Wednesday 18 October, with Mamelodi Sundowns taking on TS Galaxy in the inaugural match. The tournament will feature all 16 PSL teams and will function in the same format as the Telkom Knockout Cup. This will prove to be a huge task for PSL teams, as the fixture list for each club will grow immensely, and in turn, potentially causing player fatigue. Will the competition get in the way of the league or will the players be able to handle the pressure? On the latest episode of the Fan Reaction Show, Mzansi offers insight and opinions into the way the fans are feeling towards the 2023 Carling Black Label Cup. SL Radio on SoccerLaduma.co.za

The MTN8 final has come and gone, with Orlando Pirates walking away with a second consecutive title. The Buccaneers were able to keep Mamelodi sundowns out for 120 minutes, forcing the game to go to penalties. The Buccaneers would have had a few shaking nerves, considering the last penalty shootout they took part in; they lost to Botswana side Jwaneng Galaxy. Masandawana were not clinical from the spot, with Orlando Pirates winning 3-1. On the latest episode of the Fan Reaction Show, Mzansi reacts to Orlando Pirates beating Mamelodi Sundowns 3-1 on penalties to claim a second consecutive MTN8. The fans analyse the teams' performance and comment on the officiating. SL Radio on SoccerLaduma.co.za

The CAF Champions League is the most coveted football trophy on African soil, yet in the same breath, it is the most elusive to South African teams. For far too long, Southern Africa has barely had a say in this competition since Mamelodi Sundowns claimed the silverware way back in the 2015/2016 season. Only Kaizer Chiefs have come close since then when Gavin Hunt took the glamour boys to the final in 2021. Is the CAF Champions League too much to ask of the players, coaches, and teams from Southern Africa? Perhaps the traveling is playing a big role, or even the quality of the pitches. One thing we know for sure, is to be the best, you have to beat the best and given the expectation that this competition expects, to go all the way and win the cup; you have to dig deep, be consistent, and focus on your strengths. On the latest episode of the Fan Reaction Show, Mzansi reacts to Morgan Mammila being re-appointed as head coach of Chippa United. They also speak on Steve Komphela turning Swallows around. The fans break down the poor performance shown by South African teams in the CAF Champions League. SL Radio on SoccerLaduma.co.za

The MTN8 final semi-final legs have come and gone, with Kaizer Chiefs being knocked out by Mamelodi Sundowns. The second leg between these two giants, came with controversy after referee Luxolo Badi turned a blind eye and denied the Glamour Boy's 3 clear-cut penalties. Mzansi has expressed their deepest frustrations towards not only Badi, but SAFA and the PSL as a whole. On the latest episode of the Fan Reaction Show, Mzansi reacts to the poor display of officiating during the MTN8 semi-final second-leg match-up between Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns. SL Radio on SoccerLaduma.co.za

The second legs of the MTN8 semi-finals commence this weekend with Orlando Pirates looking like they are in the best position to make it to the final. After securing a victory against Stellenbosch FC in the first leg, the Buccaneers will be hoping to continue their fine run of form when they welcome the traveling team from Cape Town to the Orlando stadium Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns are all square going into their second-leg fixture at the Lucas "Masterpieces" Moripe Stadium. Amakhosi have not had the best results in the league, unlike Sundowns, but the Glamour Boys will be hoping to edge one over the current DStv Premiership title holders.

Bafana Bafana has just come off the back of an unbeaten run with a goalless draw against Namibia and a 1-0 victory against the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). The goalless draw brings a concerning thought into the minds of local supporters, which is how lackluster the team looked against a lower-ranked nation in Namibia. The performance against the DRC proved that we have the potential to provide an attacking threat while being solid at the back. Coach Hugo Broos will have all to prove during the upcoming AFCON tournament and with his recent comments about the team, he has lost the support of many fans. On the latest episode of the Fan Reaction Show, Mzansi reacts to the ‘lackluster' performances from Bafana against Namibia and the DRC. The fans express their thoughts on Hugo Broos' coaching style and suggest that Bafana Bafana is on the right track moving forward SL Radio on SoccerLaduma.co.za

Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos finds himself in hot water after his somewhat unnecessary comment directed towards Kaizer Chiefs players and the club as a whole. When the media asked Broos about the lack of Chiefs players, the 71-year-old Belgian suggested that ‘no player(s) from Kaizer Chiefs deserves to be within the national setup.' Chiefs' head coach Molefi Ntseki announced his disappointment with Broos and we are now seeing an ongoing beef between the two coaches. This comment by Broos has caused some obvious outrage amongst Khosi nation with one fan saying “Hugo Broos has lost the plot!”  On the latest episode of the Fan Reaction Show, Khosi Nation and Mzansi react to the ongoing beef between Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos and Kaizer Chiefs' Molefi Ntseki. Broos was caught saying that no player from Chiefs deserves to be in the national team, and Molefi Ntseki has hit back! SL Radio on SoccerLaduma.co.za

Kaizer Chiefs are welcoming Mamelodi Sundowns to the FNB Stadium during their mouth-watering matchup. Kaizer Chiefs seem to be slowly finding their form under new head coach Molefi Ntseki, whereas Mamelodi Sundowns are looking stronger than ever, after claiming maximum points during their 5 Dstv Premiership fixtures. The last time the glamour boys managed to beat Masandawana, was back in 2021, when Chiefs won 2-1. Molefi Ntseki needs to be brave, and courageous and bring some innovation if he wants to overcome a powerhouse in Mamelodi Sundowns. The last time Orlando Pirates and Stellenbosch FC met, the Buccaneers went down 1 goal to nil, with the team from Cape Town grabbing all 3 points in their Dstv Premiership matchup. Pirates have been in hot - goalscoring form and they will be looking to capitalise on any mistakes which Stellies may make. Stellenbosch are hoping to continue their run of good form. On the latest episode of the Fan Reaction Show, Mzansi speaks on the first leg of the MTN8 Semi-Finals which sees Kaizer Chiefs tackle Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates taking on Stellenbosch FC. Will Mamelodi Sundowns continue to dominate or will the Glamour Boys cause an upset? Stellenbosch FC will be looking to edge one over the Soweto Giants and Plano Pirates are hoping to breeze past Stellies! SL Radio on SoccerLaduma.co.za

Kaizer Chiefs have had a poor start to their 2023/24 Campaign; having only scraped past Cape Town City in the Nedbank Cup quarter Finals, the Glamour Boys are currently sitting in 13th position, after only managing to take 1 point away from a possible 9. Chiefs recently appointed former Bafana Bafana coach Molefi Ntseki to turn the ship around, however many are suggesting that having Ntseki at the helm with assistant coach Arthur Zwane, failure is imminent. On the latest episode of the Fan Reaction Show, Mzansi reacts to the latest incident involving Royal Am and how they treated a PSL fan. Khosi nation also reacts to Kaizer Chiefs' poor run of form, and even suggests that Molefi Ntseki and Arthur Zwane are not a perfect match! SL Radio on SoccerLaduma.co.za

The first round of the MTN8 has come and gone with the semi-finals now confirmed. Kaizer Chiefs scraped past Cape Town City whereas Orlando Pirates, thanks to Zakhele Lepasa, breezed past Sekhukhune United. Mamelodi Sundowns got the better of a 10-man Swallows outfit and Stellenobosch FC managed a 1-0 victory over SuperSport United. Mzansi gives their opinions on these matches, with some fans suggesting that an ideal final would be Kaizer Chiefs vs Orlando Pirates at Soccer City. Not only to prevent Mamelodi Sundowns from grabbing yet another trophy but also due to the possibility of having a Soweto Derby this early in the season. On the latest episode of the Fan Reaction Show, Mzansi reacts to the MTN8 Semi-Final Draw which sees Stellenbosch FC face Orlando Pirates, while Kaizer Chiefs meet Mamelodi Sundowns. Khosi nation suggests the ‘Glamour Boys' owe the fans a trophy! SL Radio on SoccerLaduma.co.za

The 2023/24 Dstv Premiership is back on track with Match One producing some exciting results. The reigning Champions, Mamelodi Sundowns, grabbed 3 points against Sekhukhune United which poses the question ‘Are Sundowns continuing where they left off.' Kaizer Chiefs showed they are handling the midfield well, but still lack ‘venom' upfront and Orlando Pirates, in a shock result, lost 1-0 to Stellenbosch United. Kaizer Chiefs were dominant when looking at the states, stringing over 350 passes and having 10 shots on goal. The worrying aspect is that only 3 were on target and Chiefs did not find the back of the net. This goes to show that Kaizer Chiefs are in dying need of a natural goal scorer. On the latest episode of the Fan Reaction Show, Mzansi comments on the first round of matches from the 2023/24 Dstv Premiership and give their thoughts on Kaizer Cheif's lack of ability upfront. Khosi Nation now stands firm on the fact that Molefi Ntseki needs to find a natural goalscorer. SL Radio on SoccerLaduma.co.za

In recent days, breaking news hit the airwaves with Thabo Cele ‘agreeing personal terms' with Kaizer Chiefs. The 26-year-old has spent close to a decade plying his trade in Europe where he is currently playing for Polish outfit Radomiak Radom. Chiefs are currently still in negotiations with the Bafana Bafana midfielder but there could be light at the end of the tunnel. The 2023/23 Dstv Premiership season gets underway on 4 August with Mamelodi Sundowns beginning their title defence against Sekhukhune United. Are we in for yet another Masandawana masterclass, or will we have a new PSL champion this time around? Teams have ‘beefed' up their squads and teams will be looking to start strong with a victory. On the latest episode of the Fan Reaction Show, Mzansi gives their thoughts on the 2023/24 Dstv Premiership season as they hope a new team will be crowned PSL champions.

Kaizer Chiefs have signed some young stars in recent years, however, the lack of game time for these players is quite a concern. Many players arrived at Chiefs with the idea of them being the next big stars, however, the lack of game time, nurturing and confidence has seen them sit on the bench. Players such as Sabelo Radebe, Wandile Duba, and Samkelo Zwane are not getting enough game time and their futures are being questioned. On the latest episode of the Fan Reaction Show, Khosi nation expresses their concerns with the cub benching young stars, forcing them to lose confidence. Khosi nation is unsure if Molefi Ntseki is a coach who appreciates young players. SL Radio on SoccerLaduma.co.za

The 2023/24 Dstv Premiership Season edges ever closer, and the fans are worried about the net costs involved in watching a match live. Transport, merchandise, ad-hoc and ticket prices accumulate to figures that seem far too unreasonable. Mzansi has been pleading with the PSL and with SAFA for changes to be made. With ticket prices starting at R50 for lower division matches, and spiking to over R200, it makes sense as to why stadiums are standing empty. Of course, the derbies such as the Soweto Derby, see a full stadium, but the majority of matches are played in front of a crowd less venue On the latest episode of the Fan Reaction Show, soccer lovers around Mzansi express their frustration towards SAFA and the PSL regarding the net costs involved in watching Dstv Premiership matches live. Mzansi suggests that clubs should be looking out for their supporters, and even recommend season tickets and membership cards. SL Radio on SoccerLaduma.co.za

Kaizer Chiefs recently provided an update surrounding the news which suggests Khama Billat is unreachable. The glamours are hoping to make contact with the Zimbabwean to table a new deal. As it stands, Vina Maphosa, the communications manager of Kaizer Chiefs, provided some much needed clarity on Billiat's situation and expressed his and the clubs' concern over the player's safety. Billet first joined Chiefs back in 2018 and has since made over 80 appearances for the Soweto Outfit - scoring only 18 goals. On the latest episode of the Fan Reaction Show, Mzansi offers some hard truths about Khama Billiat's future at Kaizer Chiefs. Khosi nation suggests Khama's heart is no longer with Chiefs, with one fan suggesting ‘Khama is a graveyard investment.' SL Radio on SoccerLaduma.co.za

Moroka Swallows have recently appointed Steve Komphela as head coach, after a lengthy spell with Mamelodi Sundowns. Steve explained that he felt somewhat ‘forced to the sidelines' after Rhulani Mokwena announced that he was wanting to work with new a technical team. Komphela spent 3 years with the reigning Dstv Premiership champions, first as a co-coach, and then as a senior coach. Swallows FC Chairman David Mogashoa insisted that former head coach Musa Nyatama with his assistant Ditheko Mototo will remain at the club, but will make way for coach Steve to learn more about the role, as Komphela as a wealth of experience. Kopmela goes into this role with excitement, confidence, and of course, years of experience On the latest episode o the Fan Reaction Show, Mzansi reacts to Steve Komphela's move to Moroka Swallows after spending 3 years with Mamelodi Sundowns.

The transfer window is well and truly open with Orlando Pirates making the most headway thus far. The Buccaneers have acquired the signature of Sephelo Baloni from Cape Town All Stars, Katlego Otladisa from Marumo Gallants, Melusi Buthelezi from TS Galaxy, and Patrick Maswanganyi from SuperSport United. The Sea Robbers have also parted ways with 5 stars. Kaizer Chiefs are searching the market to beef up their squad after they recently announced the departure of Siyabonga Ngezana who joined Romanian Liga 1 Club FCSB During the week, Kaizer Chiefs announced their new head coach; Molefi Ntseki. Ntseki had a spell with Bafana Bafana between 2019-2021. Kaizer Chiefs have had a few poor seasons, given the expectations, and Arthur Zwane was unable to fulfill the club's need for silverware. Will Molefi Ntseki fit one of the biggest clubs in Africa? On the latest episode of the Fan Reaction Show, Khosi nation reacts to the appointment of Molefi Ntseki. Mzansi gives their thoughts on the latest transfer within the PSL. SL Radio on SoccerLaduma.co.za

The Former Kaizer Chiefs defender has put pen to paper and signed for Romanian Ligue 1 club, Fotbol Club FCSB. The versatile defender spent seven seasons with the Glamour Boys, where he grew into a formidable defender. Many Chiefs fans have even praised the 25-year-old, claiming he was one of the best defenders during the 2022/23 Dstv Premiership season. The beauty of this move is that there is proof that development players have what it takes to make the move to Europe, so long as the player is hard-working, determined, and ready to make the necessary sacrifices. Ngezane was able to control the defence, not only playing in the full-back position, but when duty called, he slotted perfectly into a center-back role, which make him an indispensable player. Being able to shift mindsets into these positions, is no easy task, which is why a European club came calling. Former Kaizer Chiefs striker, Samir Nurkovic has been in a legal battle with Pal club, Royal AM over a contractual dispute, which saw the club owned by Shawn Mkhize terminate the Serbians contract early, to the tumultuous groans of the PSL. Nurkovic signed a two-year deal, not long after being released by the Glamour Boys, but he never featured in any competitive matches. Nurkovic's contract was terminated 2 months into this binding agreement, without any form of compensation. The club argued he was released due to a lengthy period of ‘sick leave.' The Serb took this discrepancy forward to the PSL, where, in his favour, it was announced that Royal Am has to payout the contract, a fee which comes close to R12 million, or ‘Mkhize's men' will face a ban imposed by FIFA. On the latest episode of the Fan Reaction Show, Mzansi praises former Kaizer Chiefs defender Siyabonga Ngezane for making a move to Europe, where he has signed for Romanian Ligue 1 club, Fotbol Club FCSB. Mzansi reacts to the legal battle between Samir Nurkovic and PSL club Royal AM after his contract was terminated prematurely. SL Radio on SoccerLaduma.co.za

In July 2022, the PSL announced that the Carling Cup, historically played between Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates, will be scrapped as a whole, with the Carling Knockout Cup taking its place. This tournament will see all 16 PSL teams taking part, with the fans of Mzansi having the final say, by voting for their 4 favourite teams, to partake in the matches. These changes has been heavily welcomed by football fans around the entire country, as it allows teams, other than the Soweto Giants, to have an opportunity to play for silverware. This cup has replaced the Telkom Knockout Cup, after close to 3 decades of enjoyment. The Carling Knockout Cup will follow the same format of the Telkom Knockout Cup,, where the 16 DStv Premiership sides will be drawn in a straight knockout tournament until a winner is determined. On the latest episode of the Fan Reaction Show, Mzansi Reacts to Carling Knockout Cup, which will feature all 16 teams from the Dstv Premiership. The fans express their excitement for the competition to begin and share their thoughts on the format. SL Radio on SoccerLaduma.co.za

Orlando Pirates assigned Jose Riveiro as head coach just under a year ago and many Buccaneer fans were skeptical of this appointment. Some even went as far as calling the Spaniard a 'plumber.' Riveiro can rest easy knowing that he proved Mzansi wrong this season. He helped Pirates to 2 trophies in the 2022/23 season, which include the MTN8 and the Nedbank Cup. Riviero also helped Pirates to claim the second spot on the log, behind Mamelodi Sundowns, and secured the club CAF Champions League Football. This is an outstanding start to what could be a fantastic career at Pirates. Mamelodi Sundowns stole the show at the recent 2022/23 PSL End-Of-Season Awards, with 7 of the individual awards being won by Downs players. These awards included player of the season, manager of the season, defender, midfielder, and young player of the season. Mamelodi Sundowns seemed unstoppable in the league and it does not look as though their dominance will be ending any time soon. Many fans have been left scratching their heads, trying to understand how some of their favourite players missed out on these awards, with some suggesting that the awards ceremony was biased towards the Brazilians. On the latest episode of the Fan Reaction Show, Mzansi reacts to Orlando Pirates' Nedbank Cup Victory, marking coach Riveiro his second trophy of the season. The fans voice their opinions on the recent PSL Awards which saw Mamelodi Sundowns claim 7 individual accolades on the night! SL Radio on SoccerLaduma.co.za

Mamelodi Sundowns have born knocked out of the CAF Champions League, losing by goal difference to Moroccan giants Wydad AC. Masandawana failed to score away from home and then let 2 goals slip on home soil. One of the goals which Ronwen Williams conceded came from one of his teammates, Mothobi Mvala, thus being declared an own goal. Downs head coach, Rhulani Mokwena, insists that he is not upset with Mvala and has given the defender his full support. With Sundowns exiting yet another cup, they have now only claimed victory on local shores, having won the PSL with 7 games to spare. Given the magnitude of this title, this is nothing to look down upon, but when you consider the set expectations, have Sundowns had a successful season? Missing out on the Nedbank Cup, and now the CAF Champions League, Mzansi speaks about Sundowns' season and question whether or not it can be deemed successful. Marumo Gallants have been more than impressive in the 2022/23 CAF Confederations Cup. They have taken points from some of Africa's biggest clubs, in their hunt for Silverware. Gallants showed true honour and valour throughout the tournament and were ultimately knocked out by Tanzanian outfit Young Africans. Losing 4-1 on aggregate, Bahlabane Ba Ntwa can pat themselves on the back for what they have achieved. Contrary to this, Gallants have officially been relegated from South Africa's top-flight league, the Dstv premiership. Gallants have been far less impressive on the local stage. Accumulating 29 points from 30 games, less than a point a match. Gallants have suffered in the PSL and will soon be plying their trade in the lower division. Speaking on the latest episode of the Fan Reaction Show, Mzansi suggests Gallants will struggle to get back into the Dstv premiership, given the competitiveness of the National First Division (NFD). “Look at Cape Town Spurs, how long have they been there for?” Said one fan. On the latest episode of the Fan Reaction Show, Mzansi reacts to Mamelodi Sundowns' unfortunate exit from the Car Champions League. Masandawana lost to Moroccan giants Wydad AC on goal difference. Marumo Gallants have officially been relegated from the Dstv Premiership and the fans have discussed their chances of returning to South Africa's top-flight. SL Radio on SoccerLaduma.co.za

Kaizer Chiefs have lost yet another game, making them winless in 4 matches. Their most recent loss, came at the hands of former Kaizer Chiefs Coach Gavin Hunt; as he and his SuperSport United downed Chiefs 1-0 when they met on Saturday 13 May at the Royal Bafokeng Sports Palace. Khosi Nation is seemingly losing patience with the former Chiefs player-turned coach and the actions shown by a handful of radical supporters bring light to this. Zwane was subjected to an attack by Chiefs fans, having bottles and other objects thrown at him when he was leaving the technical area. Zwane suffered minor injuries, but it would appear as though these fans might suffer major consequences. Acts of hooliganism and anarchy have no place in the sport, let alone our stadiums which is why this incident brings heavy emotions to Mzansi. The frustration that Khosi Nation is going through is justified and understandable, but the actions are not. Chiefs are trophy-less in 8 years, and they are going to finish yet another season without any silverware since their departure from the Nedbank, at the hands of their noisy neighbours Orlando Pirates. Many fans are suggesting the ‘hooligans' at fault, need to be prosecuted for their actions. During this past week, Kaizer Chiefs management have been quoted saying that they will review Wane's performance come season end, to see if the technical team needs a beef up. Many fans have agreed with this ideology and suggest that Zwane should be demoted to assistant coach, or even a youth coach to gain the invaluable experience needed to coach a team, with a history as big as Chiefs. Mzansi is hoping for a well-versed coach to take the reigns off of Wane's hands, hoping trophies are going to be around the corner. What occurred at the Royal Bafokeng Sports Palace has since brought on a scare for the club, recently announcing stricter safety protocols for Chiefs match against Cape Town City on Saturday 20 May. Stadium Management hanging director has said that the South Africa Police Service (SAPS) will be on duty in full force come Saturday, as well as security, to be ready for whatever these hooligans are potentially planning. On the latest episode of the Fan Reaction Show, PSL fans share their thoughts on the incident which transpired after Chiefs lost to SuperSport United. They share their thoughts on whether or not Arthur Zwane is the right man for the job and suggest that acts of this nature, concurrent with anarchy and hooliganism should not be tolerated!

Kazier Chiefs are to once again finish a season without tasting silverware. For 8 consecutive seasons, Kaizer Chiefs have struggled to write their name on a trophy and the fans are understandably upset. Having a multitude of coaches and opportunities during this time, they still can't seem to claim a title. Something isn't going according to plan and the fans fear the worst when speaking on the latest episode of the Fan Reaction Show. One fan suggests it might be a few more years until the Glamour Boys reach success. Amakhosi are currently coached by a legend of the club, Arthur Zwane but unfortunately, his coaching style isn't clicking with the football fraternity. Zwane favours younger stars in bigger games, but many suggest he should be mixing things up with youngsters and veterans. Another fan says "Coach Arthur Zwane is good, the problem is choosing younger stars over experienced players, there are games He needs to rest younger stars and use his experienced players." After Chiefs lost on Penalties to their noisy neighbours Orlando Pirates in the Nedbank Cup semi-final, Zwane publicly stated that his tenure with the club has been better than his predecessors (Ernst Middendorp, Gavin Hunt, and Stuart Baxter). Many fans speaking on the Fan Reaction Show disagree with this statement and suggest that Zwane has bitten off more than he can chew. "He needs support. He must be assistant and Chiefs must bring in an experienced coach." On the latest episode of the Fan Reaction Show, Mzansi reacts to Arthur Zwane's post-match comment after he and Kaizer Chiefs were knocked out of the Nedbank Cup Semi-final at the hands of Orlando Pirates. Mzansi predicts who will win the Nedbank Cup Final between the Buccaneers and Sekhukhune United. SL Radio on SoccerLaduma.co.za

The 2022/23 Dstv Premiership title race is well and truly over, but we have an exciting race for second place on our hands. Orlando Pirates, SuperSport United, and Kaizer Chiefs are battling it out to become the second team to represent South Africa in the CAF Champions League. 6 points operate second place Pirates and fourth-placed Chiefs. Gavin Hunt's SuperSport United make up third place with 48 points. When speaking on the Fan Reaction Show, one fan suggests that SuperSport United and Kaizer Chiefs are making things easy for Pirates with their disappointing results. Pirates will have it all to play for to join Sundowns. South Africa is home to one of the most magnificent stadiums on the continent, Soccer City. Also known as the FND stadium, many are concerned about the attendance that this stadium sees. With a capacity of over 94 000 (ninety-four thousand), we rarely see a sold-out stadium, unless the Soweto Derby is being played, or if Mamelodi Sundowns are in town to face off against Chiefs or Pirates. One fan thinks it's because of the size, and when you are the number of tickets sold and place those fans in a smaller stadium, the turnout is actually really good. When Royal AM traveled to Soweto to face Orlando Pirates, die-hard soccer Fan Mam Joy was denied entry into the match with many suggesting it was because she changed allegiance. Mama Joy was a Pirates fan through and through, but recently made the switch to Royal AM. Videos surfacing on social media suggest her right of entry, with the ticket she purchased, was denied in a calm matter. But the fact remains. Mama Joy eventually goes into the stadium, 57 minutes after kickoff. One cannot forget that this has happened before. It started with Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos, then TS Galaxy Chairman Tim Sukazi, and now Mama Joy. Is it time that the PSL and SAFA step in to intervene to stop this barbaric behaviour? On the latest episode of the Fan Reaction Show, Mzansi expresses their opinion on whether or not Orlando Pirates can qualify for the CAF Champions League and claim the second spot on the Dstv Premiership table. The fans discuss the troubling issues of the Soweto Stadium sitting empty during matches and also share their thoughts on Mama Joy being denied entry into the stadium for the Orlando Pirates vs Royal AM match.

Historically speaking, Kaizer Chiefs have cemented themselves to be one of the biggest clubs in the country, perhaps even the continent. Their ever-growing fan base and support clubs flock to the stadiums to watch their team perform. But in recent years, including the 2022/23 DStv Premiership season, the glamour boys seem to be missing their killer instincts. Poor decision-making, soft goals, and silly mistakes are the reasons behind their poor run of form which, unfortunately, doesn't look like it is coming to an end. Kaizer Chiefs have now dropped yet another 3 points to Sekhukhune United, who beat Chiefs for the second time this season and now, Chiefs find themselves sitting in 4 position on the log. A top 4 might finish not seem so bad, because they will qualify to compete in the Nedbank Cup, but Chiefs have also been known to play CAF football. As it stands, the Glamours boys are 5 points behind their Soweto Rivals Orlando Pirates and the chances of them making it to a CAF competition are looking slimmer than ever. Mzansi and Khosi Nation have expressed their opinions on this matter, with some fans suggesting that Kaizer Chiefs are not who they used to be and that they haven't a single chance to qualify for continental football. On the latest episode of the Fan Reaction Show, Khosi Nation expresses their concerns about Kaizer Chiefs' performance this season and suggests that the CAF Champions League, and the CAF Confederations Cup, is too far out of reach for the Glamour Boys.

Mamelodi Sundowns shockingly exited the 2023 Nedbank Cup thanks to Stellenbosch FC's Iqraam Rayners. The 27-year-old netted a well-deserved brace in 9 minutes against Masandawana. This match ended in the students' favour, 2-1. Downs have now 'dropped' points in their last 4 games and questions of complacency have been asked. Since the Brazilians claimed their 6 consecutive DStv Premiership titles, they haven't looked the same; not being able to score against 10 men, drawing to mid-table teams, what is going on? Many fans think that Sundowns have bigger fish to fry and have set their focus on the CAF Champions League. Orlando Pirates progressed to the semi-finals when they beat ABC Motsepe League outfit Dondal Stars FC via penalties. Not the most convincing of victories, but it has to be said that Dondal Stars fought to the death. Not only did they force the Bucs to penalties, but they also marched through this cup competition valiantly, beating AmaZulu and Supersport United. The future of this team is looking bright. With the semi-final draw already decided, we have yet another Soweto Derby to look forward to. Orlando Pirates have been drawn against Kaizer Chiefs with more than bragging rights to play for. Chiefs have beaten the Buccaneers in the last 5 meetings with the hopes of making it 6/6. Pirates will be looking to break this trend, whereas Chiefs will be licking their lips with the chance to get their hands on Silverware for the first time in 8 years The 2023 Nedbank Cup is coming to an end with only 4 teams left. This competition has arguably been one of the most exciting thus far with shocking results, surprises, and underdog stories. Who is going to emerge victorious? On the latest episode of Fan Reaction Show, Mzansi reacts to Mamelodi Sundowns' shocking exited at the hands of Stellenbosch FC with many thinking Masandawana is focusing on CAF. Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates will face off in the semi-finals with the Buccaneers hoping to get a Soweto Derby Victory and bragging rights. SL Radio on SoccerLaduma.co.za

Kaizer Chiefs in recent years have not lived up to the standards that Mzansi knows. The glamour boys last tasted silverware during the 2014/15 season when they won the DStv Premiership title. Chiefs, historically, are one of the biggest clubs on the continent, but there have been many challenges that have proven difficult to overcome. With managerial changes, lacking funds, and players not living up to their standards, Chiefs currently find themselves in 4th position on the log, a staggering 20 points behind crowned champions Mamelodi Sundowns. Looking at the statistics, Chiefs have scored the majority of their goals within the first quarter of the match, but then they allow silly mistakes and schoolboy errors to prevent them from claiming all 3 points. This is something that isn't only seen by Mzansi, in fact, Amakhosi defender Siyabonga Ngezana recently stated that the team has been its own worst enemy! The Nedbank Cup returns to our screens this weekend with some mouthwatering fixtures taking place. The current top 4 teams in the PSL (Mamelodi Sundowns, Orlando Pirates, Supersport United, and Kaizer Chiefs) are all taking place with Royal AM, Sekhukhune United, Dondal Stars, and Chippa United making up the other 4 teams. Chiefs will be looking to progress to get their hands on silverware, Sundowns will hope to continue their local dominance and Dondal Stars will be wanting to cause a severe upset when they face off against Orlando Pirates. On the latest episode of the Fan Reaction Show, Mzansi has reacted to Chiefs defender Siyabonga Ngezana's statement and also predicted what they think will occur during the quarter-final fixtures of the Nedbank Cup!

Mamelodi Sundowns had a league bye this weekend, but that didn't stop them from winning yet another DStv Premiership League title. Sundowns were playing in the CAF Champions League, but were relying on Chippa United to prevent SuperSport United from beating them. The Chilli Boys are 'owed one' by Sundowns, as they held Supersport to a draw. This is Sundowns' 13th title overall and it is very evident that they are the dominant force in South Africa. Many fans have questioned the legitimacy of Sundown's business antics and cries for the PSL to introduce a form of financial fair play ruling system are still being unheard. Sundowns' dominance poses the burning question; Is the PSL becoming a boring league? Stellenbosch Fc was reduced to 10 men against Kaizer Chiefs in the 16th minute when goalie Sage Shane Stephens handled the ball outside the box. Not too long after this red card, Kaizer Chiefs were awarded a penalty which Keegan Dolly calmly put away. The Glamour boys emerged victorious but to the utter disgust of Stellies coach Steve Barker. Barker went on to criticise the officiating after this match as he questioned Chiefs' red card and penalty record. On the latest episode of the Fan Reaction Show. Mzansi has reacted to Mamelodi Sundowns winning their 6th consecutive DStv Premiership after Supersport United failed to Beat Chippa. Mzansi also has a say on Kaizer Chiefs' victory over Stellenbosch FC where coach Steve Barker criticised the officials for their poor decisions! SL Radio on SoccerLaduma.co.za
