South African Premier League Gears Up for Exciting 2023 Season
The South African Premier League (PSL), also known as the DStv Premiership, is all set to kick off its 2023 season on August 4th. This year, some of the key clubs to watch include Mamelodi Sundowns, Orlando Pirates, Kaizer Chiefs, Sekhukhune United, and Stellenbosch FC.
Mamelodi Sundowns, the defending champions, have won eight consecutive titles from 2017-18 through 2024-25. Orlando Pirates, on the other hand, have made some significant new signings for the season, including headline midfielder Sipho 'Masterchef' Mbule and former Polokwane City winger Oswin Appollis.
Kaizer Chiefs, one of the traditional giants of South African football, are also a team to watch. Sekhukhune United, an emerging competitive team, and Stellenbosch FC, with their consistent high finishes and good recruitment, are other clubs to keep an eye on. AmaZulu, with experienced key players like Richard Ofori and Bongani Zungu, are also expected to make a strong showing.
Some of the key players likely to be influential in the season include Mbule, Appollis, Siviwe Magidigidi (Siwelele), Ofori, and Ben Motshwari (AmaZulu) and Ramahlwe Mphahlele.

The team that finishes 15th in the DStv Premiership will compete in the Promotion Play-offs, while the last-placed team will be automatically relegated. The match to watch out for this season is the clash between Mamelodi Sundowns and Sekhukhune United at Peter Mokaba Stadium.
The PSL, which oversees professional football in the Republic of South Africa, has brought significant improvements to club football in the country, providing better media coverage and securing strong sponsorship agreements with companies like Nedbank, Telkom, Absa, Castle, Coca-Cola, and Vodacom. The league was established in 1996 and runs from August to May.
