Seema lauds Siwelele's winning start but urges more improvement
Coach Lehlohonolo Seema urges patience and improvement as Siwelele FC prepares for a tough away clash at Dobsonville Stadium after a confident Betway Premiership season opener. Photo; Backpagepix Image: Backpagepix Siwelele FC coach Lehlohonolo Seema is pleased with how his side have started life in the Betway Premiership but warned that there is still a lot of work ahead. The team announced themselves in fine style with an impressive 3-1 victory over Golden Arrows at the Dr Petrus Molemela Stadium in their season opener. Their next challenge takes them to Orbit College's temporary home at Dobsonville Stadium on Tuesday (7.30 pm kick-off), as the North West-based outfit remains unable to use the Olympia Park Stadium for late matches due to ongoing floodlight repairs. Seema, making his return to the top flight after parting ways with Sekhukhune United midway through last season, was pleased with his team's performance but insisted there is still room for improvement ahead of the away trip.

However, he was happy with his players' contributions. 'We are playing away from home on Tuesday, it's not going to be easy, no game will be easy,' Seema said. 'Everybody knows that we are the new kids on the block. We are not saying anything, the only thing is that we have to collect as many points as we can. 'Some of the things here we are still trying to find each other, the players are still trying to understand what I want. We have won, I am happy, but there is still a lot of things that did not go right. "We can keep the ball better and make better decisions. The goal we conceded was a soft goal, we need to defend better and make sure the opponent doesn't sniff any opportunities. 'The goals, the way they came, it was exactly how we wanted. Our transitions were better but there is still room to improve, but credit must go to the players.' A win is a good thing for your first ever game. Welcome to the PSL. — Mr President (@KG_ZA2025) August 10, 2025 Having bought the status of Supersport United, Siwelele took over several players from that squad who flew under the radar last season. With new surroundings and leadership, they have come alive as the team transitions from empty stadiums to potentially packed home venues this campaign. Vincent Pule and Siviwe Magidigidi were the stand-out performers, not only getting on the scoresheet but impressing throughout the contest. Despite still needing time to build a well-oiled team, Seema also called for consistency from his side, especially in home matches where they enjoy some of the strongest support in the country.

Dream start for Betway Premiership newcomers
The first weekend of action in the 2025/26 Betway Premiership season is done and dusted – and what a weekend it was for two of the newcomers to the top-flight! All 16 teams were in action, and there were six matches which produced winners and two drawn fixtures. A total of 15 goals were scored at just under two per match. It was a great weekend for two of the three newcomers to the top-flight with Siwelele FC beating Golden Arrows 3-1, while Gavin Hunt's Durban City beat TS Galaxy 2-0. Siwelele FC bought SuperSport United during the off-season. Coincidentally, former SuperSport United coach Gavin Hunt is now in charge at Durban City. Meanwhile, the third new team, Orbit College, went down narrowly 1-0 to AmaZulu. You would have paid good money to have seen Siwelele at the top of the standings at any point in the season! Somewhat surprisingly, defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns were held to a 1-1 draw by Chippa United while Orlando Pirates went down 1-0 at home against Sekhukhune United. On Sunday, Kaizer Chiefs made the perfect start to their campaign, winning 2-0 on the road against Stellenbosch FC. The next matches are scheduled for Tuesday, 12 August. AmaZulu 1-0 Orbit College Chippa United 1-1 Mamelodi Sundowns Polokwane City 0-0 Magesi FC Richards Bay 1-2 Marumo Gallants Orlando Pirates 0-1 Sekhukhune United Siwelele FC 3-1 Golden Arrows TS Galaxy 0-2 Durban City Stellenbosch FC 0-2 Kaizer Chiefs Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1 Subscribe to The South African website's newsletters and follow us on WhatsApp, Facebook, X and Bluesky for the latest news.
