Kaizer Chiefs collect R15 million, but were they taken for a p*#s?
Kaizer Chiefs will need to balance the books by selling some stars as their incoming recruitment drive continues apace. Skipper Yusuf Maart is close to completing a move to the Austrian Bundesliga with SV Ried. Is R15 million a fair price for a quality operator of Maart's calibre? Pitso Mosimane's son heads to Italy Central midfielder Yusuf Maart, a senior and well-respected member of the Kaizer Chiefs squad, is taking his opportunity to move to Europe just before his 30th birthday. The industrious midfield man is said to be making the switch to Austrian Bundesliga side SV Ried for a fee in the region of €725k (R15 million). That might sound like a decent figure for the club, but let's do a quick projection exercise. Let's assume SV Ried keeps Maart for a year and then opts to sell him to a much wealthier club. What sort of fee could they attract? At least triple what they paid Chiefs for his services? Do European clubs have any respect for football teams in South Africa? All Chiefs squad numbers, including Monyane, Mako, and Shinga Another hypothetical example involves Orlando Pirates star Relebohile Mofokeng. At 20 years old, he's the jewel in the Pirates' crown. There's talk that the Sea Robbers will listen to offers of R32 million for the winger. Make no mistake, Rele Mofokeng is a brilliant player, potentially the South African with the highest ceiling. What message does this send to European clubs wanting to smuggle South African talent if Mofokeng signs for a team in Spain, Italy, France or Germany and then gets sold for roughly five times that number? Is South Africa a sweatshop? WOW: Nkota secures move to Saudi Arabia The future is now for Pirates. Image: BackpagePix 30-year-old Bosnian Dzenan Zajmovic bagged seven goals and two assists in the league last season, as well as three goals from two Nedbank Cup outings. The country's big clubs could be interested in signing the Belgium-born star on a free transfer this winter.

Rassie Erasmus continues to lead Springbok tactical evolution
The Springbok innovation to create a rolling maul in open-play led to this try for Canan Moodie against Italy. Image: BackpagePix COMMENT Love it or hate it, head coach Rassie Erasmus will continue to innovate as the Springboks look to find the smallest edge on the rugby field to take their game to the next level against opponents. On Saturday, Erasmus made the rugby world notice his ingenuity again, as the Boks conjured up two different tactical plays in the clash against Italy in Gqeberha that caught many off guard. The first was a short kick-off to generate a scrum shortly after the game started and this is the little bit of innovation that blew up on X (formerly Twitter) with pundits and couch critics tearing into the Boks for finding another way to bend rugby's laws. The Springboks are having fun out there! #RSAvITA — Jared Wright (@jaredwright17) July 12, 2025 Video Player is loading.

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ Ad loading While they've found a new reason to moan about the world champions, South African supporters have been lapping this up. It's special to witness the out-of-the-box thinking of coaches in an ever-evolving sport. Traditionalists will cling to things staying the same in rugby, but to keep the game relevant and draw engagement, these innovations are needed. And there was absolutely nothing that brought the game into disrepute when it came to this little bit of tactical deviation. Erasmus explained they wanted an early scrum to put Italy under pressure. Last weekend Italy got the ball out of the scrum quicker than normal, and the Boks wanted to counter that. The tactic flopped as the Boks conceded a free kick off it. Italy didn't score, so they could not do the short kick-off again. 🇿🇦 Dull, and not in the spirit of the game. It might be ingenuitive, but that doesn't make it fun in the long — RugbyInsideLine (@RugbyInsideLine) July 12, 2025 Those two generated mauls, copied from a school's team in Stellenbosch, were special and not expected at all. It brought two tries and because the Italians were caught off guard by it, they could not defend it properly. It's a different scenario when a maul is started from a lineout and the opposition is set to defend. Both times, the manufactured maul from open play was illegally sacked and for the first try, the Boks could play the advantage to have Canan Moodie go over for the try. With the second one, hooker Malcolm Marx scored directly from it. The debate over the kick-off and open-play rolling mauls will continue to lead the conversation over the next couple of weeks. There will certainly be calls to change the laws that will ban both, especially from Erasmus' detractors in the Northern and Southern Hemisphere. They've always looked to find something wrong in how the Boks do things on the field. It has been quiet on that front for a while, but now the attacks on South African rugby will start again. However, for as long as the Springbok coaches can innovate within the laws of the game, they will do it. And the importance of former international referee Jaco Peyper in their midst as laws advisor can't be underestimated. The world champions have an expert that can show them where the grey areas are and how to navigate those. The open-play maul could be a thing of the past for matches over the next couple of months as teams will plan to counter it. But the Boks should be encouraged to use it in the Rugby Championship later this year. As for the short kick-off, Springbok supporters would probably like to see it again soon. This time, though, the scrum must work to build that early platform.

First Monnapule Saleng, now Mohau Nkota as big stars leave Orlando Pirates
Mohau Nkota is the latest player confirmed by Orlando Pirates to be making his way out of Soweto. Picture: Phakamisa Lensman/BackpagePix Pirates lost 2-0 to Bolton Wanderers in their previous pre-season clash on Friday. The news comes after Pirates played to a 1-1 draw with Greek outfit Pafos in their pre-season warm-up on Sunday. The 20-year-old had only recently broken into the Pirates team in the previous season, but will now be plying his trade away from South African shores. Fresh off the news that Monnapule Saleng would be loaned out to Orbit FC, Orlando Pirates confirmed on Sunday that midfielder Mohau Nkota had been sold to Ettifaq Club in the Saudi Pro League. Reset restore all settings to the default values Done Beginning of dialog window. Escape will cancel and close the window. Orlando Pirates full statement on Nkota: 'Orlando Pirates Football Club can confirm that an agreement has been reached for the permanent transfer of Mohau Nkota to Ettifaq Club in the Saudi Pro League. The move is subject to the 20-year-old agreeing to personal terms and passing a medical. Nkota's departure comes after a standout debut season in the Buccaneers' senior squad, where he featured in 39 official matches and registered 12 goal contributions. Everyone at Orlando Pirates wishes Mohau Nkota the very best as he begins this exciting new chapter in his career. May he continue to soar and carry the Buccaneers' spirit with pride – because remember: Once and Always!' While Pirates will want to focus on their preparations for the new season, the news that Saleng has been loaned out to Orbit FC has stolen the headlines. It drew to a close, one of the longest-running sagas in South African football. Saleng had been out of favour at Pirates since December last year and had not featured in the side since then, apparently over a wage dispute. With no official word on the player from Pirates for months, the speculation had been rife about the future of Saleng even though he is still under contract until June next year. @Michael_Sherman IOL Sport
