iDiski Times issue 272 spotlights Kaizer Chiefs, Pitso Mosimane and Bafana Bafana

The 272nd edition of iDiski Times is now available, leading with coverage of Kaizer Chiefs’ positive start to the season and Pitso Mosimane’s return as Bafana Bafana coach.

The latest issue brings together features, exclusive interviews and opinions from across the football world, with Kaizer Chiefs among its main areas of focus. Matshelane Mamabolo visited Naturena last week and reflects on the encouraging opening to the campaign under Fernando Da Cruz.

Mosimane’s appointment as Bafana Bafana coach is also examined in detail. Following the unveiling of the former national team coach in the role, Bra Jakes spoke to Macbeth Sibaya and Dan Malesela about Mosimane’s return to the national-team hot seat.

Their contributions form part of the publication’s wider look at the significance of Mosimane taking charge of Bafana Bafana once again. The issue presents views from figures with experience of South African football as it considers the latest development involving the national side.

There is also extensive attention on the MTN8 final, where Orlando Pirates will face Mamelodi Sundowns. Lethabo Kganyago spoke to MTN8 legend Vuyo Mere about next month’s showpiece match.

Mere’s perspective adds another dimension to the build-up, with the final set to bring together two of South Africa’s leading clubs. The meeting between Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns is one of the central fixtures featured in the new edition.

Kganyago also interviewed Cameron Carnell, who has joined Venda Football Club in the Motsepe Foundation Championship for the 2026/27 campaign. That move is covered alongside the broader collection of player and club stories in the newspaper.

This week’s iDiski’s Top Ten feature turns to Bafana Bafana’s “Nomads”. It profiles 10 players who represented Bafana Bafana while also having links to other countries, offering a closer look at the different international connections surrounding their careers.

The edition also includes the latest developments and speculation from the Rumour Mill. In World & South Africa, readers can revisit the prolific career Dino Ndlovu enjoyed abroad.
