Mamelodi Sundowns moved to the top of the Betway Premiership standings with a 2-1 victory over Golden Arrows on Sunday. According to The South African Sport, the Pretoria side took full advantage of rivals Orlando Pirates' absence from league action to claim the summit of the log. The result strengthens Sundowns' position in the South African top-flight title race as the season progresses.

Mamelodi Sundowns have strengthened their team for the upcoming 2026/27 season by signing winger Siyanda Ndlovu from Orlando Pirates. This move is part of the club's efforts to enhance their squad ahead of the new season.

Mamelodi Sundowns are reportedly considering another significant transfer-market move, with former Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Thabo Cele identified as a target, according to The South African. The report frames the potential switch as a possible major signing for Sundowns, but provides no confirmation of negotiations, fee, contract terms, or comment from the clubs or player. The item remains a transfer rumour linking the midfielder across two prominent South African clubs.

Kaizer Chiefs have confirmed two changes to their starting line up ahead of their Betway Premiership clash against Siwelele FC, according to The South African Sport. The match is scheduled to kick off at 17:30 at the Dobsonville Stadium, where Chiefs will host the encounter. The publication released the confirmed starting line ups for both teams prior to the fixture, highlighting the adjustments made by the Chiefs technical team for the league match.

Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns are set to compete in the 2026/27 CAF Champions League, which will commence in September. The winners of the tournament will receive a prize of R78 million.

Mamelodi Sundowns has reportedly taken over the transfer deal for Siyanda Ndlovu, which had previously collapsed with Orlando Pirates. Meanwhile, Kaizer Chiefs are believed to have secured the signing of goalkeeper Renaldo Leaner.
