The Buccaneers have sent out a strong early message in their intensifying rivalry with Mamelodi Sundowns, signalling that they are no longer merely pursuers but genuine contenders against the eighteen-time champions.

As they approach the Christmas break holding a two-point advantage at the top of the standings, the Buccaneers have shown greater strength and consistency than in previous campaigns, delivering a sequence of standout performances that reinforce their ambitions.

Ouaddou and his team have already secured two trophies this season, and their Carling Knockout success over the weekend further underlined their status as the standout side in the opening half of the campaign.
