Clean Sheet Queens: Banyana Ba Style Set for Fort Hare Clash

Published 2 weeks ago3 minute read

Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies will look to extend their dominant form in the Hollywoodbets Super League as they host the University of Fort Hare at TUT Stadium on Sunday morning. The defending champions remain the only unbeaten side in the league this season and have yet to concede a single goal after six matches—an outstanding record that underlines their clinical consistency and defensive discipline.

The Brazilians come into the game fresh off a dominant 6–0 win over City Lads, a fixture that saw them bounce back spectacularly after their only slip, a goalless draw against Copperbelt Ladies. With both confidence and momentum on their side, the team will be eager to maintain their position at the top of the standings and keep their perfect defensive record intact.

One of the standout performers this season has been striker Nthabiseng Majiya, who scored four goals in the midweek fixture and currently shares the lead in the team’s goal-scoring chart. Speaking ahead of the match, Majiya emphasized the collective nature of Sundowns success:

“I believe that as a team, we all win together. It is not just about who scores the goals or who gets the most attention. Every player—whether starting or coming off the bench—contributes to our success. We have been working hard in training, especially on creating and finishing chances, and I think it is starting to show in our performances. Going into the next game, I believe we will continue to grow stronger together.”

The upcoming clash against the University of Fort Hare offers a fresh challenge, but one that the reigning champions will approach with confidence. Banyana Ba Style enjoyed a double over Fort Hare last season, edging them 1–0 at home thanks to a goal from Zanele Mandosela and later securing a commanding 3–0 win away from home, with goals from Melinda Kgadiete, Karabo Dhlamini, and veteran striker Andisiwe Mgcoyi.

Nonhlanhla Mthandi, who has enjoyed a superb start to the season with three goals to her name, expressed her pride in the team’s mentality and commitment to their shared objectives.

“Coming from that draw and then winning with six goals last time shows the hunger that runs within the team. So far, as a team, we have one united vision — and that is to stay consistent, stay focused, and give our best in every single game. We hold each other accountable, and we push one another every day at training.”

With goals coming from various players, Sundowns Ladies have proven to be a well-balanced side. The top scorers so far this season include Nthabiseng Majiya and Boitumelo Rabale with four goals each, followed closely by Nonhlanhla Mthandi and Isabella Ludwig with three apiece. Melinda Kgadiete, Lehlogonolo Mashigo, Refilwe Tholakele, and Tiisetso Makhubela have all chipped in with one goal each.

The match between Sundowns Ladies and the University of Fort Hare is set to take place at TUT Stadium on Sunday, May 4, at 11H00.
