Latest recap · Monday, 3 August 2026

A football-heavy edition centred on Banyana Banyana’s WAFCON permutations, the weekend’s Betway Premiership results, and a cricket quiz that turned into a technical explanation of hat-tricks.

  1. 19:34

    Banyana Banyana must beat Burkina Faso to stay alive at WAFCON, then hope Ivory Coast beat or draw with Tanzania; a draw or loss to Burkina Faso means elimination.

  2. 19:24

    South Africa’s comeback against Ivory Coast could prove decisive after they trailed 2-0 at half-time; the late equaliser kept quarter-final hopes alive and highlighted the team’s shaky start.

  3. 19:44

    Chiefs and Pirates opened the Betway Premiership with convincing wins and sit early on top, while new sides Milford and Kruger United both struggled on their debuts.

  4. 19:19

    The weekend’s standout domestic result was Sekhukhune United’s 1-0 win over Durban City, while Siwelele and TS Galaxy drew 2-2 in a match marked by a bizarre goalkeeper handball outside the area.

  5. 19:57

    The cricket quiz answer was yes: a hat-trick can span different overs if the same bowler takes three consecutive wickets across separate deliveries, even after an interruption or injury.
