Can we just give Pirates their flowers?

Hlompho Kekana will go down in the history books as the first player to captain Mamelodi Sundowns to the CAF Champions League title. The former midfielder helped Masandawana win the 2016 continental prize after beating Zamalek in the final and won much silverware before hanging up his boots in 2021. Fresh from his role as a Carling Knockout ambassador, Kekana reflects on reconnecting with supporters, the electric atmosphere at the final in Polokwane, and the standards set by Orlando Pirates and Marumo Gallants. In this interview with Soccer Laduma's Masebe Qina, Kekana also shares his honest views on Sundowns' cup frustrations, the Betway Premiership title race and Bafana Bafana's readiness for another major tournament under Hugo Broos.

South Americans are very fragile

Last weekend we saw Orlando Pirates make history by becoming the first Carling Knockout champions to beat the All-Stars team, after both Magesi FC and Stellenbosch FC failed to do so in the previous two seasons. Pirates were forced to play without several of their regulars as they are in camp in preparation for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations. Coach Abdeslam Ouaddou's charges beat coach Manqoba Mngqithi's team 2-0 to be crowned champions, for the second time in a week. Congratulations to Bucs as they close the year on a high note.
