It was a night to remember for Mamelodi Sundowns fans as their team once again proved why they’re the kings of South African football.
With a commanding 3-0 victory over Chippa United, the Tshwane giants officially clinched their eighth consecutive Premier Soccer League (PSL) title, bringing their total league tally to a staggering 18 championships.
They didn’t just win — they made a statement. The goals came with flair and purpose.
Iqraam Rayners, who once wore the Sundowns shirt, gave his former side a taste of his skill by opening the scoring in the 11th minute.
Arthur Sales then stepped up to the plate with a double — his first in the 69th minute and the second right before full time — sealing a memorable night for Masandawana.
Big Moves Brewing in the Transfer Market
While Sundowns were busy celebrating, transfer talks were heating up in the background.
Their star man, Lucas Ribeiro Costa, has reportedly been given a hefty R100 million price tag.
The Brazilian forward has drawn interest from French Ligue 1 side LOSC Lille, who are closely watching developments from Chloorkop.
Meanwhile, Iqraam Rayners is also on European radar — specifically, Scottish powerhouse Glasgow Rangers are said to be keeping an eye on him.
With performances like the one against Chippa United, it’s no surprise he’s attracting attention.
African Giants Circle South African Rising Star
It’s not just Sundowns players making headlines.
Young Relebohile Mofokeng from Orlando Pirates is turning heads across the continent.
North African heavyweights Zamalek, Wydad Athletic, and Al Ahly are all reportedly interested in the talented youngster, hoping to lure him away from the Buccaneers.
And speaking of the Buccaneers, they may soon go head-to-head with their Soweto rivals, Kaizer Chiefs, in the battle to sign Fiston Mayele, the prolific striker from Pyramids FC.
Could Fiston Mayele Be the Answer for Pirates?
There’s growing chatter about Fiston Mayele possibly joining Orlando Pirates — and there might be something to it.
Sources suggest that Mayele’s camp has made early contact with the club to explore whether a move to the PSL is on the cards.
“It’s not a done deal yet,” one insider explained, “but Pirates need a proven striker, and Mayele fits that mold.
After what he did against them in continental competition, they know exactly what he brings to the table.”
Whether the Buccaneers make a concrete offer remains to be seen, but all signs point to them being very serious about strengthening their front line — and Mayele could just be the game-changer they need.
Who Deserves the PSL Coach of the Year Title?
With the league wrapped up and the spotlight shifting to individual honours, one big question remains: Who should be named Coach of the Year?
Mamelodi Sundowns’ dominant season certainly gives their boss a strong claim, but with other impressive campaigns across the league, there’s room for debate.
