iDiski Times edition 268 features Dr Irvin Khoza, Fadlu Davids and Pitso Mosimane

The 268th edition of iDiski Times is now available, bringing together interviews, features and views from across the football world, with the 30th anniversary of the Premier Soccer League among the leading themes.

Matshelane Mamabolo speaks to Premier Soccer League Chairman Dr Irvin Khoza as part of the anniversary coverage. Their conversation looks back at three decades of the league, reflecting on the competition’s journey during its 30th anniversary year.

The latest issue also reviews an eventful MTN8 quarter-final stage, with the four semi-finalists now confirmed. Bra Jakes examines the action from a round that produced plenty of goals and saw defending champions Orlando Pirates progress alongside Mamelodi Sundowns, Sekhukhune United and Golden Arrows.

Those four clubs will continue their pursuit of the MTN8 title after coming through the quarter-finals. Orlando Pirates remain in contention to defend the trophy, while Mamelodi Sundowns, Sekhukhune United and Golden Arrows complete the semi-final line-up.

There is also an interview with Fadlu Davids, who spoke to Rob Delport during a rare break from his usual place in the technical area. Davids left Raja CA in June, and the feature provides an opportunity to hear from him away from the immediate demands of coaching on the touchline.

The issue further looks at the next chapter for Pitso Mosimane. With the former coach all but set to be appointed as the new Bafana Bafana coach, Rob Delport welcomes Mosimane back ahead of his anticipated return to the national-team role.

The publication’s regular talent feature focuses on the future of South African football. This week’s iDiski’s Top Ten takes a closer look at 10 U21 players who could make an impact in the Betway Premiership.

The edition also includes the latest instalment of the Rumour Mill, offering readers the newest whispers from the football world. Alongside that, the World & South Africa section turns its attention to a notable link involving South African players.

That feature looks back at the South African footballers who played together at Arminia Bielefeld, adding an international dimension to the issue’s wider coverage of the country’s football history and personalities.
