Kaizer Chiefs star wears kit in the streets for two days
Kaizer Chiefs midfielder George Matlou delighted Amakhosi supporters on social media this last week in celebration of the Nedbank Cup title.
'It was a great feeling for me, so I had to express my feelings, of course,' Matlou told the media.
'It's been one of those achievements that I was looking for as a player personally, so winning a cup with a brand like Kaizer Chiefs is one major achievement for me and for the club as well.
'It has been a while not winning a cup, so there were talks that 10 [years without a trophy] blah blah blah,' the Kaizer Chiefs midfielder added via FARPost .
'But yes, I'm one player that is in the history books that I have won a trophy for the club [part of the generation that ended the drought],' the 26-year-old from Soweto concluded.
In the meantime, the midfielder is facing an uncertain future. His deal with the club ends on June 30.

Flag football breaks barriers in Africa
JOHANNESBURG - Flag football is breaking barriers, and Africa is officially in the game. For the first time, the International Federation of American Football is organising an African Flag Football tournament, giving the continent a fair shot on the world stage. The two-day event kicks off on June 20th in Cairo, with more at stake than just bragging rights. It is a stepping stone to the 2026 World Championships, and ultimately, the sport's Olympic debut at the 2028 games in Los Angeles. Flag football is a fast, non-contact sport, and is more accessible, especially with the expansion of NFL youth programmes across Africa, tapping into a whole new wave of talent. A South African team will be taking part, with IFAF stating that the tournament is only the beginning. The group has a long-term goal of Olympic inclusion and additional continental competitions.

Kaizer Chiefs R1 million blunder worst signing in years?
Kaizer Chiefs' bold move to sign Bongani Sam from rivals Orlando Pirates has turned into a financial and footballing misfire. Nearly a year since his arrival, the 27-year-old left-back has yet to feature in a single competitive match for Amakhosi. Sam joined Chiefs ahead of the 2023/2024 season in a deal that raised eyebrows. At the time, the move shocked many fans and analysts alike, considering his limited game time at Pirates and patchy loan spells at Maritzburg United and Moroka Swallows. Despite the risk, the club inked him on a three-year deal with an option for a fourth. Since signing, Sam has not made a single appearance for Chiefs. A combination of injury and non-selection has kept him sidelined throughout the season. In fact, his last competitive minutes date back to December 2023, six months before arriving at Naturena. This prolonged absence places Chiefs in an uncomfortable position. Not only have they gone a full season without any on-field contribution from Sam, but they've also reportedly shelled out over R1 million in salaries and signing-on fees with nothing to show for it. 'Chiefs made a big mistake with Sam, how can you sign someone who never played a full season? The talent is there but the consistency was not,' a source told The South African. Sam's playing history hardly justified the investment. During his stint at Pirates, he completed just seven full matches and appeared sporadically in another 21 fixtures, often falling out of favour and eventually heading out on loan. Yet, Chiefs pushed through with the signing, hoping for a turnaround that has not materialised. Now, with at least two years left on his contract, cutting ties would come at a significant financial cost, another dilemma for a Kaizer Chiefs desperate to rebuild and regain competitiveness. Sam, once expected to challenge for a starting role, hasn't even entered the frame. As the Soweto giants prepare for the upcoming season, one question remains. Will Bongani Sam ever justify the investment, or will he go down as one of the most baffling signings in the club's recent history?
