Following Manqoba Mngqithi's demotion to Senior coach at Masandawana, questions have been raised over the future of the former Golden Arrows boss. 

The "Mngqithi's Departure At Downs Getting Closer?" story, where agent Mike Makaab spoke about Mngqithi's contract expiring at the end of the season, fans shared some diverse comments on the issue: 

"If he leaves Sundowns that will show us who he is. There was that saying which reads, 'with the financial muscles at Sundowns which enables them to buy all the good players, even grannies can be successful as coaches in that situation.'

"A good coach is the one who is successful with ordinary players. Let him go to Maritzburg Utd and turn them into professionals," says Mr Soccer Enthusiast. 

"He is a good coach and won't struggle at any team and anywhere he is appointed as a head coach..." says sizwe.gqogqo.

Following Yusuf Maart's unreal winner against Orlando Pirates in the DStv Premiership, the goal has been compared to ex-Sundowns captain Hlompho Kekana's wonder strikes that earned him more than one Puskas Award nomination. 

On the "Kekana: It Would Be Unfair To Take The Shine From Maart's Goal", storywhere Kekana says it would be unfair to compare his goals to Maart's, fans shared some interesting points: 

"For me, it is not comparing but reminding people of Hlompho's long range goals," says peterchongo. 

"A True legend of the game. football is about acknowledging the best," says user349222. 

Bafana Bafana followed up their 2-1 win over Mozambique with a 1-1 draw against Angola after Orlando Pirartes' Zakhele Lepasa earned the equalizer from the spot. 

On the "Bucs Star Nets As Bafana Draw Final Game Of The Year" story, a fan questioned the selection of Lepasa: 

"I wish to know how a national team coach selected an Orlando Pirates player as a striker while the stats show that Pirates don't have strikers," says Mami@georgedale.
