BREAKING: Sundowns star back from Europe but off to Tanzania!

Mamelodi Sundowns star defender Rushine de Reuck is back from Europe but he's already set for a move to Tanzania.
De Reuck spent last season on loan at Israeli outfit Maccabi Petah Tikva in search for regular game time.
However, things just did not go his way as he only featured four times for Petah Tikva during this stint.
Now, with his loan spell over, De Reuck is back at Chloorkop but he's reportedly on his way to Tanzanian giants Simba SC.
Simba SC are coached by De Reuck's former coach at Maritzburg United Fadlu Davids, and the South African mentor is a huge fan.
It was at Maritzburg United, now known as Durban City, where the lanky defender played his best football.
Sundowns then came knocking for signature four years ago, but injuries contributed to his lack of game time before he was loaned out.

'Mamelodi Sundowns defender Rushine De Reuck is set for a surprise move to Tanzania Premier League side Simba SC ahead of the new season,' reads part of the report.
'Sources close to the club have confirmed he has penned a one-year deal with the East African giants who are aiming to strengthen their squad to challenge for domestic honours and for their return to the CAF Champions League this season.'

Disappointment for SA swimmers on opening day of Singapore world champs

Gallagher wasn't too pleased with her swim, but happy with the speed shown in her opening 50 metres. 'I didn't realise that I had turned third, that's really cool, so I'm very happy with my front-end speed,' she said after the race. 'I think it's the fastest I've been out in the 100 before and it felt very comfortable and very chilled, so I think that's a very good sign for the 50, which is still in a couple of days. 'I just have to switch off from the race. Even though it didn't go the way I wanted it to, there are some good things to take away and look forward to the rest of the racing which is the 100 free and the 50 fly. 'There's still a long way to go. It's day one of the competition so I'm looking forward to the rest of my races and we'll see what we can produce. Hopefully the 50 fly will be a better outcome than this one.' Other South Africans in action in the heats earlier in the day were Aimee Canny, who finished 19th overall in the 200m individual medley heats after swimming a time of 2:12.70 and Chris Smith, who finished 25th overall in the 100m breaststroke with a time of 1:00.85. Hannah Robertson was 27th in the 400m freestyle heats in 4:22.69, while in the men's event, Matthew Caldwell was 39th in 4:01.45. The South African women's 4x100m freestyle relay team of twin sisters, Georgia and Olivia Nel, Cailtin de Lange and Hannah Robertson finished sixth in their heat in 3:45.33 and did not progress to the final. The World Aquatics Championships in Singapore continue on Monday, with Pieter Coetzé kicking off his campaign in the 100m backstroke while Meder will be back in action in the 100m breaststroke, Matt Sates in the 200m freestyle, and Catherine van Rensburg in the 1500m freestyle.

Celebrating Sharpeville's soccer supermom

SHARPEVILLE.- With August around the corner, Sedibeng Ster Sport takes a look at women who play a huge role in sports in the Vaal. August is Women's Month, celebrating the strength of ordinary women in the community for their outstanding contributions in various fields. Orlando Pirates midfield striker Relebohile Mofokeng's mother, Naome, is one of the women who deserves flowers for the role she plays in her son's football career. When 'Rele' was still young, playing for a local amateur soccer team, Celeb Youth Academy in Sharpeville, Naome used to come to watch him. This was long before it became fashionable for mothers or parents to get involved in their children's football careers. Unlike others, Naome didn't wait for her son to play for these so-called elite development academies to support him. She supported the boy while he was still playing on the dusty soccer grounds. Sedibeng Ster Sport still has memories of her running up and down the touchline when Rele was only 12 years old, playing at George Thabe Stadium or James and Pepsi soccer grounds. She was always there, not only to watch him, but to also support the rest of the team. She is passionate about football. The truth is she didn't only show interest in his son's football career when he played for Orlando Pirates, but long before Rele became a household name in South African football. We take a bow, Mrs Mofokeng, you deserve flowers. She was always there since Rele's father, Sechaba Mofokeng, at the time, was also an active soccer player, playing in the First Division League. Relebohile's parents launched the Relebohile Mofokeng Foundation to help those from disadvantaged backgrounds. They hosted the 1st Annual Relebohile Mofokeng Tournament, which came to an end last weekend in his hometown in Sharpeville. Speaking to Sedibeng Ster Sport, Naome said that apart from being her son's biggest supporter, she is passionate about football. 'I love football, and grew up in the football community. I support every child who is involved in sports in the community,' she said. Sedibeng Ster Sport will continue to look for other women who have contributed to the development of sports within the Vaal community.
