Orlando Pirates DDC head coach Roscoe Krieling has opened up on the development of rising star Mpho Padime, insisting the winger must learn to temper his natural flair with efficiency. The 19-year-old has quickly become a fan favourite due to his technical ability, but coaching staff are eager to ensure his skills translate into senior success.

South Africa defender Ime Okon has hailed the recent resurgence of the national team and believes the positive momentum stretching across the senior and youth structures is a genuine sign of health for the domestic game. As Pitso Mosimane’s men prepare for a high-profile friendly against Egypt, the defender insists that testing themselves against the continent's elite is the only way to sustain this upward trajectory.

The Bucs teenage sensation has lifted the lid on the instrumental role Relebohile Mofokeng plays in his development, describing the Bafana Bafana star as a vital mentor. The teenage winger is quickly becoming one of the most talked-about talents in South African football after a stellar rise through the club's academy ranks.

South Africa's next generation of talent is officially on high alert following Pitso Mosimane's recent indications that the door to the senior national team remains open for young standouts. With the Under-23 squad currently preparing for a pair of international friendly fixtures, the ambition to make the definitive jump to Bafana Bafana has become a primary motivator for the country's rising stars.
