In anticipation of this week's 1125th edition of Soccer Laduma, we preview some of the features included. The latest edition will be available at your nearest outlet tomorrow, Wednesday, May 29.
Reyaad Pieterse interview
Reyaad Pieterse has been up against the best goalkeepers since his return to the PSL after plying his trade in the Republic of Ireland. First, he joined Kaizer Chiefs and fought for a spot against Itumeleng Khune, then he went on to battle it out with SuperSport United's Ronwen Williams, and when everyone thought that competition was enough, Pieterse opened a door that led him into a star-studded squad at Chloorkop. Speaking to Soccer Laduma's Celine Abrahams, the shot-stopper reveals that he has kept a positive attitude despite his challenges for regular game-time.
Kaizer Chiefs feature
After a disappointing 2018/19 season, Soccer Laduma's Beaver Nazo chatted to the Amakhosi faithful to give them a platform to voice their thoughts on what they think the problems are in their beloved team and what possible solutions could be used.
Luvuyo Memela interview
On a good day, Luvuyo Memela could single-handedly win you a game, which he has done for Orlando Pirates on a number of occasions. Unfortunately, injuries have time and time again derailed his progress on the field of play. Despite these setbacks, Memela prefers to look on the brighter side of life rather than bemoan past misfortunes as he tells Soccer Laduma's Celine Abrahams.
