What you can expect in the Sport section this week:
PSL to convene on Safa’s Under-23 proposal: Once again, Safa is at the mercy of its special member – the NSL.
Safa has gone to the NSL, cap in hand, asking for PSL fixtures to be moved so that it can take its best players to the CAF Under-23 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt next month.
All hail Kipchoge’s historic marathon run: SA runners Stephen Mokoka and Hendrick Ramaala say Kipchoge’s historic sub-two-hour marathon run is a huge boost for long-distance running.
Serero still has a point to prove: It has been a while since Thulani Serero last turned on the magic for Bafana Bafana – this is the time for him to shine or be dumped.
Safa’s ref unit must be proactive with erratic match officials: Match officials are ruining our football and something has to be done about it.
There have been so many complaints over the years about poor officiating, and there seems to be no solution to end this madness.
Rae throw-ins impress Bucs legend: Highlands Park defender Rayan Rae’s trademark throw-ins have become something of a phenomenon in the league that opponents specifically plan how to stop him.
How the mighty have fallen: A look at the Premier League standings has a certain familiarity to it. Liverpool and Manchester City are the top two, and Chelsea and Arsenal are close behind but where are Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur?
The billionaires club: Together, the owners of the Premier League clubs are richer than many countries in the world. Who are these filthy-rich bosses?
Felix Jones needs to keep up with Boks’ other Jones: It’s probably not the thing to suggest about a team that put 66 points on the board the last time they played and are sitting on a mountainous point difference of 149 from the four matches they have played, but we need to talk about the Springboks’ attack at the World Cup.
Boks living up to expectations: By finishing second behind New Zealand, the Springboks have done pretty much what was expected the day the draw was made a few years ago.
Proteas need a bigger pool of players: With South Africa looking forward to hosting the 2023 Netball World Cup in Cape Town, the Proteas leaders have resolved that the best way to prepare the national team is to grow the pool of top players who could represent the nation.
