Orlando Pirates legend Benedict Vilakazi has made a passionate plea to Kaizer Chiefs to stop Mamelodi Sundowns from tightening their grip on the Betway Premiership title race.

Masandawana currently sit five points clear of their closest challengers, Pirates, with just three matches remaining.

A victory over Amakhosi would leave Sundowns needing only a win and a draw to secure yet another league crown especially if the Buccaneers drop points.

Pirates legend backs Chiefs to beat Sundowns

Speaking on iDiski TV, Vilakazi admitted the title race appears all but decided, but still hopes for a late twist.

“Realistically, Sundowns are going to run away with the league,” he said. “But my wish is for someone to stop them. I hope Chiefs can do that because if Sundowns win their ninth league title, I don’t know what’s going to happen.”

Vilakazi warned that Sundowns’ dominance could stretch well into the future, pointing to the squad’s balance of experience and quality.

“When I look at the average age of their players, it’s around 28. That gives them another four or five years at the top. With their tempo, attitude and performances, they [Sundowns] can keep winning,” he added.

The former Pirates star stressed that a Sundowns victory this season could make it even harder for rivals to challenge in the coming years.

“My wish is for Chiefs to stop Sundowns so that next season all teams have a fair chance to fight for the league,” he said.

Vilakazi also expressed hope that, should Chiefs fail in their mission, other PSL sides facing Sundowns before the end of the campaign might still spring a surprise and keep the title race alive.

Pirates have to beat Stellenbosch on Tuesday evening and hope for Sundowns to lose points against Chiefs if they are to have an advantage in the title race.

Which team will win the league?

Ivorian youngster Hubert Yao has taken a big step towards his burgeoning career, signing a pre-contract with FC Nordsjaelland. The 16-year-old striker will sign a professional contract and join the Danish Superliga in January 2028, when he turns 18.

The talented offensive player comes from FC San Pedro in his native country and has already represented and scored for his country during the U-17 World Cup in Qatar last year.

He is expected in the coming weeks to play at the upcoming U-17 Africa Cup of Nations as part of the Ivory Coast’s team in Morocco. The tournament will begin on May 13.

A statement on the capture of the young forward read on the club’s website site.

“Hubert Yao is a great Ivorian talent, whom we look forward to welcoming here at FC Nordsjælland when he turns 18.

He is a tall offensive player who can play both as a striker and on the wing, as he has enormous speed and is very persistent in his game.

“He is good at attacking space and challenging in 1-on-1 situations, and he can also get to the finish and score goals. And he has already made a positive impression on the Ivorian U-17 national team.

It is really good work by our scouting team, and it is important for us that we can continue to attract great talents from West Africa. It is an investment in our future, and we look forward to Hubert Yao being part of it.”

Yao expressed delight over joining the club as he seeks to brighten his corner, starting in 2028.

“I am very happy that it is now confirmed that I will come to FC Nordsjælland when I turn 18. It is a childhood dream come true for me, and both my family and I are very proud of it. I can hardly wait to play my first game for the club.”

The Danish top flight side, affiliated with Ghana-based Right to Dream Academy, are noted for recruiting young players across Africa and turning them into big stars.

Notable names include Ghana and Tottenham forward Mohammed Kudus, Atalanta winger Kamaldeen Sulemana, Ernest Nuamah of Olympique Lyon and Simon Adingra of Ivory Coast.

Tanzania President Samia Suluhu Hassan has held high level talks with Ivorian football legend Didier Drogba following his visit to State House in Chamwino, Dodoma, as Tanzania intensifies preparations for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

Drogba, a former Ivory Coast national football team captain and Chelsea FC star, is in the country at the invitation of the government, with his visit centered on strengthening Tanzania’s international sporting profile and supporting long term football development.

During their meeting, President Samia formally requested the former striker to serve as a goodwill ambassador for Tanzania ahead of 2027 Africa Cup of Nations. The move is seen as part of broader efforts to boost the country’s global visibility as it prepares to co-host the continental showpiece.

More details on Drogba’s potential role

Beyond the ambassadorial role, discussions also focused on knowledge sharing in sports development. The President directed the Ministry of Information, Culture, Arts and Sports to collaborate with Drogba in exchanging expertise on the establishment and management of sports academies.

Tanzania is keen to enhance its youth development structures, drawing from international experience to nurture future football talent.

The two-time Africa Cup of Nations runner-up welcomed the proposal and expressed readiness to work closely with the Tanzanian government in advancing football and youth empowerment initiatives. His involvement is expected to inspire young players and contribute to building sustainable sports systems in the country.

Renowned not only for his achievements on the pitch but also for his humanitarian impact, Drogba’s influence extends beyond football. In 2005, he played a notable role in advocating for peace during political unrest in Ivory Coast, underscoring his reputation as a unifying figure.

This marks Drogba’s return to Tanzania for the first time since June 2013, when he featured in a World Cup qualifier between Tanzania and Ivory Coast. His latest visit signals a new chapter of collaboration, with Tanzania aiming to leverage his global stature in its journey towards a successful AFCON 2027 campaign.
