Bok Women ask SA to be their #PlusOne for RWC '25
This call to arms was unveiled by SA Rugby on Wednesday, with the #PlusOne campaign aiming to rally the nation behind the Bok Women in a nationwide movement designed to celebrate their progress, ignite national pride, and unite South Africans in the build-up to the Rugby World Cup 2025 in England.
The campaign invites every South African to play a part in the team's pursuit of excellence, not just as spectators, but as daily sources of encouragement, belief, and momentum created by the rallying cry: 'Follow Our Journey. Be Our +1'.
The #PlusOne campaign celebrates the power of small steps with big impact: one extra repetition in the gym; one more tackle; one more metre with ball in hand; one extra supporter; one better day than the last.
Together, these steps build legacy and every South African is invited on the journey with the Bok Women, a team forged in grit and part of a nation bound by progress.
Bok Women captain Nolusindiso Booi said they are fully synced to the call.
'We are not new to a challenge,' she said. 'For a long time, we fought for visibility and opportunity. Now, we have that and with the country backing us, we know we go out there with the full weight of the nation behind us.
'Whether you're a young girl dreaming big on a dusty pitch somewhere in a rural area like I did, or a father watching proudly from your couch, whether you're a lifelong rugby fan or cheering us on for the very first time, you are part of this movement, and we would love you to become our #PlusOne .'
Follow the Bok Women's journey at @WomenBoks (on Instagram and X), @SAWomensRugby (on Facebook), and sa.womensrugby (on TikTok), and show your support using the hashtag #PlusOne . No matter where you are – your belief fuels their next step.

Kaizer Chiefs news: Baartman, Velebayi and Ighodaro
As reported in June, the Kaizer Chiefs thought they had secured both players as free agents. However, Cape Town Spurs responded by claiming that the duo is still under contract. Asanele Velebayi and Luke Baartman in action for Cape Town Spurs at the Athlone Stadium. Image: FARPost Due to Spurs' dramatic relegation from the Motsepe Foundation Championship (second tier) to the ABC Motsepe (third tier), Kaizer Chiefs followed the PSL's rulebook, which states that relegation to the third tier makes player contracts null and void. The situation has stalled Kaizer Chiefs from announcing and registering the two players. While the legal battle is still underway, Junior Khanye has reviewed the two players' abilities. Pirates and Sundowns news: Oswin Appollis and Lucas Ribeiro 'Out of the two Cape Town Spurs players Kaizer Chiefs are reportedly targeting, I really hope they succeed in signing Baartman – he's got the qualities to do well at the club. I'm not as convinced by Velebayi,' Khanye said…Full story here.

Kaizer Chiefs fans call for club to sign TS Galaxy star
Kaizer Chiefs fans are keen for the club to widen their striker search to some of the less fashionable Betway Premiership clubs. 21-year-old Thokozani Sibanyoni is a name to come up more than once. The TS Galaxy striker bagged two goals in two Nedbank Cup outings last term. Latest Chiefs transfer rumours More than once, we've seen Kaizer Chiefs fans in the comment section mentioning the name of Thokozani Sibanyoni. To go with his goals in the Nedbank Cup, Sibanyoni also grabbed a goal in his 10 Betway Prem outings. Chiefs are reportedly after talented teenage striker Luke Baartman from Cape Town Spurs, but Sibanyoni is also an option with more recent PSL experience. Chiefs coaching staff get the best email of 2025 At the start of the 2024-2025 season, Mdu Shabalala was a critical component in the Chiefs' side, operating from the number 10 role. His output was healthy, too. However, that has dwindled dramatically. In 27 league appearances, he only got four goals and an assist. He only played a cameo substitute role in the club's Nedbank Cup final win over Pirates. Kaizer Chiefs transfers: Three youngsters with mixed futures Only a bold man would predict that Mduduzi Shabalala will leave Chiefs in the winter, but his long-term prospects don't look great. The writing isn't on the wall yet, however, and it's up to the player to prove how much he wants to become a legend at the club. If big offers come in from any of the wealthy clubs in South Africa, or better yet, abroad, Chiefs might have to consider them seriously. The money could go towards two or even three new young prospects playing in South Africa. Thibang 'Cafu' Phete has dropped a strong hint that he's ready to return home. Local outlet FARPost believe Sekhukhune are favourites to sign a man whose extensive experience includes stints in Portugal and the UAE. Phete has four caps for South Africa. Could Kaizer Motaung Junior and his colleagues have done more to convince the player to join their project?

Pirates and Sundowns news: Oswin Appollis and Lucas Ribeiro
Orlando Pirates head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou has lauded Oswin Appollis for his standout debut, but made it clear that the talented winger still has much to learn tactically. New Orlando Pirates winger Oswin Appollis in Marbella, Spain before the 2025/26 Betway Premiership season. Image: oswinappollis_11/Instagram The 23-year-old Bafana winger delivered immediate impact at Orlando Stadium, scoring the opening goal and earning a penalty that led to the second in a 2–0 win over his former club, Polokwane City. The new Orlando Pirates number 12's performance earned him the Man of the Match award and won over the Buccaneers' faithful instantly. According to Ouaddou, Appollis is a joy to watch with his attacking instincts, but his development is far from complete. 'I played against Appollis when I was with my previous club, so I know his qualities and I won't change him,' said the Moroccan coach…Full story here.
