Steve Khomphela had a rough time of it at Kaizer Chiefs, but he’s landed running at Bloemfontein Celtic and it’s great to see him shining.

One thing is for sure, the ABSA Premiership is better with Steve Khomphela in it.

After beating Orlando Pirates 1-0 this past weekend, Steve has insisted there is no room for sentiment as he prepares to take on Kaizer Chiefs on the 28th of August. We get the feeling he might be just a little bit fired up for that one!

In praise of South African winger Aphiwe Dyanti’s man of the match – heck – man of the weekend performance with his play, tries and comments this past weekend we’ve promised from here on in to always start the weekend off with the most positive story we can find.

The Aphiwe Dyantyi award if you like.

Not only did Dyantyi pep up our weekend with his unselfish play, his comments post match illustrate just how much the flying winger has his feet on the ground. Wingers are traditionally known as being a bit selfish, but take a bow Aphiwe you’re our hero this fine Monday.

South Africa’s golden boy! ?? Tries – 2 Assists – 1 Wait for the celebration at the end ? #rugbychampionship pic.twitter.com/2XjthKMeOK — BET.co.za (@betcoza) August 19, 2018
