    Bafana Bafana winger Elias Mokwana became the first South African to win the Tunisian league title after ES Tunis hammered Olympique Beja 5-0 on Sunday. Mokwana, 25, came off the bench and scored his sideโ€™s fifth goal to secure their 19th win of the season. Esperance climbed to 65 points from 29 games, four ahead of second-placed Monastir, who dropped two points in a 1-1 draw with ES Metlaoui. ES Tunis win the Tunisian Ligue Professionnelle 1 for the 34th time โ€“ more than other side in the country.

    After Kaizer Chiefs lifted their record-extending 14th Nedbank Cup to end their 10-year trophy drought, Amakhosi bagged R10 million in prize money. The Glamour Boys finally collected silverware again and will take the Ke Yona Cup back to Naturena after beating rivals Orlando Pirates 2-1 at the Moses Mabhida Stadium. The result sent the Khosi nation into ruptures as they finally secured bragging rights again after five successive derby defeats.

    Former Kaizer Chiefs winger has selected which Amakhosi line-up fe would pick for Saturdayโ€™s Nedbank Cup final. Amakhosi enter the final on the back of six league games without a win and have also lost the last five successive Soweto Derbies. Pirates, meanwhile, saw head coach Jose Riveiro write history last week, equalling Stuart Baxterโ€™s record of winning five Soweto Derbies and he could still break that milestone in his last battle with Amakhosi.

    Former Kaizer Chiefs winger Junior Khanye believes Orlando Pirates will complete their Nedbank Cup hat-trick and beat Amakhosi in Saturdayโ€™s Soweto Derby. The two South African giants will face each for the second of their back-to-back derbies, with the Buccaneers claiming bragging rights in the first one. However, Nasreddine Nabi and his men could still make up for it if they would lift the Ke Yona Cup at Moses Mabhida Stadium to end their trophy drought.

    Cassius Mailula scored the winner in Wydad Athletic Clubโ€™s 2-0 win over JS Soualem on Thursday evening. Wydad collected their second win without Rulani Mokwena on the sidelines after the former Mamelodi Sundowns coach was granted special leave before departing at the end of the season. After beating AS FAR in their previous game when Thembinkosi Lorch scored the winner, this time it was his South African teammate who wrote the headlines.
