Orlando Pirates head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou believes Kabelo Dlamini can take over the mantle as Buccaneers’ main playmaker. Dlamini’s Pirates return imminent Dlamini has been out injured and has not featured for Pirates this season, but the Buccaneers were boosted this week as he returned to training along with striker Evidence Makgopa and midfielder Thalente Mbatha. Pirates have sold both Relebohile Mofokeng and Patrick Maswanganyi, two creative stars who played key roles last season as the Buccaneers won the Betway Premiership title for the first time in 14 years. Thapelo Mokobodi, signed this season from Stellenbosch, has been playing in the number 10 role recently and has done well, but Ouaddou is clearly delighted to welcome back the experienced Dlamini. “Dlamini is putting in a great effort every day to come back and be available for the team,” the Pirates head coach told reporters on Friday. “I really appreciate that in this period he is showing every day in training that he can be this kind of player in the middle of the team. “He is always important because he is able to find these passes that not all players can find in small spaces. He is a player who can make quick decisions. I always say in this area of the game, you need players who can take decisions before receiving the ball. “I don’t want to compare him (Dlamini) to (Zinedine) Zidane. But Zidane was not quick, but he knew before receiving the ball where the ball was going to go. We need that in the middle.” Pirates need to find goals on Saturday when they host Mauritian side La Cure Waves in the second leg of their Caf Champions League qualifier at the Orlando Amstel Arena. A disappointing goalless draw in Mauritius means the Buccaneers have plenty of work to do to reach the next round. ‘Tomorrow is another game, we have to qualify’ “We went there to get a result and score a goal,” added Ouaddou. “We didn’t score but we kept our chance of going to the next phase. “In the first game it was important for me to give opportunities to some players. It is important to manage players and keep everyone involved in the project. We win titles as a group. I felt it was the right moment to give a chance to some players. “Some of the younger players gave me satisfaction that when we need them we are able to use them. But tomorrow is another game, we have to qualify. “We will see another team, another profile of player. Tomorrow we will definitely show an attacking profile.”

A Limpopo man is trending on Facebook after he scheduled posts to go live after he ended his life via suicide. Rapea Nditsheni, a 45-year-old graphic designer, reportedly suffered from mental health issues. His death comes six months after TV and theatre star Ian von Memerty took his own life via suicide, which he labelled “self-deliverance”. LIMPOPO MAN SCHEDULES CHEEKY FACEBOOK POSTS AFTER SUICIDE On social media, the actions of Limpopo man Rapea Nditsheni have gained widespread attention. Nditsheni, who owned his own graphic design company, ended his life last month after suffering from mental health issues.  A few days after his death, a scheduled Facebook post read: “I’m so sorry, friends and family, for leaving you all like this.  If you are wondering why I did what I did to myself, I have been suffering for so long with mental issues, the day it happened. I just woke up and decided I gotta go. I’m exhausted. He added: “I had a great time with you guys – lots of love, and appreciation”. He was laid to rest last Friday in a livestream video posted on YouTube. Fast forward to this week, and another scheduled Facebook post popped up on Nditsheni’s timeline. Despite being dead and buried, the grey-bearded man “checked in” on his followers He cheekily said, “Let me know how my funeral went – I’ll read the comments”. In the video post, he sarcastically said that he was missing his favourite beer – Carling Black Label. “It’s darkness [here]. Eish, why did I leave?” he jokingly asked. On social media, South Africans were both shocked and amused by the man’s actions.  LEGAL BID TO DECRIMINALISE EUTHANASIA  Rapea Nditsheni’s bizarre Facebook posts came months after Ian von Memerty took his own life, and scheduled his own posts, after alerting the public to his concerns about living in poor health and with limited cash and resources. It also comes amid Dignity South Africa’s legal bid to decriminalise and legalise medically-assisted euthanasia in South Africa. The NPO approached the North Gauteng High Court in April, claiming that the bid protects the rights enshrined in the Constitution. In July, the Department of Health formally opposed the application. The case continues through the High Court process, with potential escalation to the Constitutional Court.

Zimbabwe has declared President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s birthday a national public holiday, giving the annual celebration a historic name linked to one of the country’s pre-colonial kingdoms. From now on, 15 September will be observed as Munhumutapa Day, following a government declaration published in the Extraordinary Government Gazette on 9 September. The date is also Mnangagwa’s birthday. Mnangagwa’s birthday is now a public holiday The new holiday was established through Statutory Instrument 148 of 2026 under Zimbabwe’s Public Holidays and Prohibition of Business Act. The government declared that 15 September every year would be a public holiday known as Munhumutapa Day. This means the day will become a permanent fixture on Zimbabwe’s public holiday calendar rather than being a once-off holiday. The declaration comes into effect as Zimbabwe seeks to place greater emphasis on its pre-colonial history and heritage. What does Munhumutapa mean? Munhumutapa, also written as Mwenemutapa, was the title used by rulers of the Mutapa Empire, a powerful pre-colonial state that emerged in the 15th century. The empire covered large parts of present-day Zimbabwe and Mozambique and became an important centre of political and economic power in the region. The title Munhumutapa is commonly translated as “lord of the conquered lands”. By naming the new holiday after the title, the government is linking the day to Zimbabwe’s pre-colonial political history and civilisation. Why does Munhumutapa Day fall on Mnangagwa’s birthday? The timing of the declaration is notable because 15 September is Mnangagwa’s birthday. The government has not described the holiday simply as a celebration of the president, instead giving it the broader historical name of Munhumutapa Day. However, the holiday means Mnangagwa’s birthday will now coincide with an annual national public holiday. The move is likely to attract attention because of the growing political debate around the president’s future. Mnangagwa’s presidency has already sparked debate The declaration comes months after Zimbabwe’s Parliament approved a constitutional amendment extending the presidential term from five to seven years. Mnangagwa, who began his second term in 2023, had previously said he would not seek to extend his tenure beyond the constitutional limits applying to his current term. Some of his supporters have also publicly advocated for the country to move towards a monarchy and for Mnangagwa to remain in power. The new Munhumutapa Day declaration does not itself establish a monarchy or change Zimbabwe’s system of government. Instead, it formally creates a public holiday linked to the country’s pre-colonial history. For Zimbabweans, however, the unusual coincidence of the new national holiday and the president’s birthday is likely to keep the debate around the significance of 15 September alive.
