AmaZulu face test of consistency as league resumes
The Mercury
|September 11, 2025
AMAZULU FC’s start to the 2025/26 Betway Premiership season has offered a glimpse of a team in transition, one that is showing promise under Arthur Zwane but still faces questions about how far their youthful energy can carry them in the campaign ahead.
Five games into the season, Usuthu find themselves in seventh place on the league table, having collected eight points.
Their record reads two wins, two draws, and just one defeat - a marked step forward from where they stood at this stage last season.
In 2024/25, AmaZulu had only managed three points from their opening five fixtures, losing four of them despite fielding a squad filled with experienced names.
The contrast between then and now highlights the quiet revolution underway in Durban. The turnaround has come after a dramatic off-season overhaul.
20 players were released as the club opted for a bold youth-first policy, cutting down the average squad age from just over 30 to around 24.
The result is a younger, hungrier unit that may lack experience but makes up for it with energy, pressing, and resilience.

South Africa’s G20 moment exposes deep cracks at home and abroad
OUR COUNTRY is not in the space it should be in. As a host of G20 we would have loved to be a shining star that had dealt poverty a blow, a place where corruption was dealt with firmly, where children have a brighter future, taps are not only running but are oozing label blue water, with smooth streets, where women feel safe, and children are assured of a meal daily.

Hooray for my English teacher who taught me satire
FOR those pupils that played hooky to catch fish while educators were teaching \"metaphors\" \"irony\", \"sarcasm\", etc, and others who missed my tongue-in-cheek take in The Mercury last week regarding the \"swarms\" of Palestinians who would soon not only invade our free country, take-over all our green fields, set up their throne in New Pretoria, and even shunt all of us \"indigenous\" Indian, White and Black people into a fenced off area in the northern Cape, after the international powers that be justified all of that, by \"just saying\" that the \"Palestinians were always here\" and were, in present-time, actually experiencing a holocaust of their own, back home, so really deserved to be freely commuted here: Excuse me!
