Soccer Laduma asks readers to choose the headline for its ‘Pic of the Week’

Soccer Laduma is inviting readers to write the caption for its popular ‘Pic of the Week’ feature, with the winning headline set to appear alongside the photograph in the magazine under the contributor’s name.

The feature has appeared in every edition of Soccer Laduma and has consistently proved popular with readers. In the past, the publication has supplied its own caption to describe the action captured in the image. This time, however, supporters are being given the chance to decide how the moment should be presented.

Readers are asked to study the picture and submit a headline that they believe best reflects what is happening. The publication says the entry can be funny, inspiring or written in any style the contributor chooses.

Soccer Laduma will select the headline it considers the most appropriate and publish it with the reader’s name alongside that week’s ‘Pic of the Week’. Entries should be posted in the comments section below, after which readers can return to see whether their suggestion has been selected for publication.

The feature’s invitation comes with Mamelodi Sundowns’ dramatic MTN8 semi-final victory providing the main football context in the article. The Brazilians overturned a 1-0 first-leg defeat by Golden Arrows at Lucas Moripe Stadium, beating Abafana Bes’thende 3-2 in the second leg at the King Goodwill Zwelithini Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Mamelodi Sundowns will now face Orlando Pirates in the final.

The accompanying Soccer Laduma listings include the following entries:

– 28 August 2026, 12:58 BST Mamelodi-Sundowns – 28 August 2026, 09:13 BST SA-Players-Abroad – 27 August 2026, 17:15 BST Fan Park – 29 August 2026, 13:59 BST Starting-XI-Previews – 30 August 2026, 10:57 BST Players Abroad – 6 May 2026, 12:45 BST Kaizer-Chiefs – 6 May 2026, 12:31 BST SA-Players-Abroad – 6 May 2026, 11:51 BST Mamelodi-Sundowns – 6 May 2026, 10:26 BST African Football – 6 May 2026, 13:05 BST Fan Park

The invitation is centred on the reader-led caption competition rather than a conventional match report, but the MTN8 result gives the photograph and its potential headline a prominent football setting. Supporters now have the opportunity to decide which wording should accompany the selected image in this week’s edition of Soccer Laduma.
