Bafana held by Niger, now must beat Uganda to make it to Chan's last 8
Bafana Bafana will have to qualify for the quarterfinal of Africa Nations Championship the hard way after playing a 0-0 draw against Niger at the Mandela National Stadium in Kampala, Uganda on Friday. This draw leaves Bafana in a precarious position as only a victory against hosts Uganda is guaranteed to take the South Africans to the quarterfinals. As things stands, Bafana are on five points while Uganda are on top of Group C on six with a +2 goal difference compared to Bafana's +1. Bafana are third in Group C with Algeria, who are facing already eliminated Niger on Monday, placed second with a better goal difference to Bafana. Algeria drew 1-1 against Guinea on Friday, earning point that ensured they remain ahead of Bafana going to the decisive final matches on Monday.

'I can't save him,' says Gavin Hunt as bad boy Mahlambi pops up at Durban City
Phakamani Mahlambi has resurfaced in the Betway Premiership, with Durban City FC handing the troubled forward a trial as he looks to rescue a career that once promised to light up South African football. The 27-year-old has been without a club for nearly four years, his last top-flight appearance coming in September 2021 for Chippa United. That outing — a second-half cameo in a 2-1 defeat to Stellenbosch FC — ended with a torn Achilles tendon, cutting short his season and sparking a long spell on the sidelines. For Mahlambi, whose raw pace and flair once made him the country's most exciting young attacker, the fall from grace has been steep. His professional debut came under Gavin Hunt at Bidvest Wits in the 2015/16 season, and within two years, he was securing a dream move to Egyptian giants Al Ahly. But his time in North Africa lasted just one season before returning home to join Mamelodi Sundowns. Game time was scarce at Chloorkop, leading to a loan move to Chippa United in 2021 — where he linked up again with Hunt. Injuries, discipline issues, and inconsistency meant that momentum was never sustained. He nearly reunited with Hunt a third time at SuperSport United after a trial stint but never signed. Now, the pair find themselves together again at newly promoted Durban City, with the coach offering him a final platform to prove his worth. 'I can't revive him, he's got to revive himself, I can only give him the platform,' Hunt said after Durban City's 1-0 win over Chippa United at Chatsworth Stadium on Wednesday. 'He's like any football player — I give the platform, the opportunity, but he's young. I mean, he was the brightest talent in South Africa, wasn't he?

Lease probe marches on despite Public Works senior official's resignation
The top-ranking official faced the possibility of suspension before she voluntarily vacated her office. A senior official in the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure has stepped down while under scrutiny for alleged irregularities involving leases and maintenance contracts. Nyeleti Mthetwa, formerly the deputy director-general (DDG) in charge of real estate management services, recently handed in her resignation after being asked to address several accusations. She also faced the possibility of suspension. The division oversees the government's vast property portfolio, which includes leasing office space for government departments – transactions valued in the billions of rands. Public Works official quits, Macpherson vows to pursue lease probe The real estate management services branch has long been plagued by claims of wrongdoing, according to Public Works Minister Dean Macpherson. Hence, the minister called on the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) last year to push for a presidential proclamation authorising investigations into suspected mismanagement, questionable payments to private landlords under lease contracts, and irregular expenses related to emergency maintenance work on facilities. 'The DDG, alongside the chief director, was sent multiple letters, and the chief director responded to all of them; and therefore, a decision was made not to place them on suspension. 'However, the DDG responded to all except the last one and instead chose to resign,' Macpherson said in a statement on Friday.

He also noted that the investigations into the branch are part of a broader effort since he took office to restore integrity within the department and pursue those found guilty of misconduct. 'The director-general, Mr Sifiso Mdakane, and I are committed to upholding good governance, protecting public resources, and ensuring our property portfolio is used for the benefit of all South Africans. 'This is how we will turn South Africa into a construction site, grow the economy, and create jobs,' Macpherson added. IDT scandal This development comes just a week after the head of the Independent Development Trust (IDT), which falls under the Department of Public Works, became embroiled in a bribery scandal. IDT chief executive officer (CEO) Tebogo Malaka was allegedly filmed offering a journalist R60 000 in cash, reportedly in a bid to halt reporting on an investigation into one of the entity's contracts and a luxury property she owns in Waterfall, Gauteng. The incident happened only days after Malaka was suspended, following findings from a PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) investigation that uncovered irregularities tied to the IDT's R836 million oxygen plant project. The initiative was intended to deliver oxygen systems to 60 public hospitals nationwide. According to the PwC report, both Malaka and the trust's general manager of supply chain management, Molebedi Sisi, played central roles in signing off on the contracts at the heart of the scandal. Disciplinary action was recommended against the senior officials involved. NOW READ: Fake licence and ballooned budget: PwC report places IDT seniors at centre of R800m oxygen tender
