In anticipation of this week's 1418th edition of Soccer Laduma, we preview some of the features and interviews included. The latest edition will be available at your nearest outlet on Thursday, 2nd April 2025.
ARTHUR ZWANE
Arthur Zwane is a legend in South African football who rose to prominence with his exceptional skills and unwavering dedication to the game. He captured the hearts of Kaizer Chiefs supporters with his electrifying runs down the wing. But after a remarkable career spanning 24 years at Naturena, Zwane raised many eyebrows when he unexpectedly left Amakhosi and took up the coaching reins at AmaZulu FC. In this interview with Soccer Laduma, a deeply spiritual Mangethe reveals that he is enjoying his time at Usuthu.
SIYA SPECIAL
SuperSport United could not wait until the end of the season to part ways with Gavin Hunt because they did not want to wait until it was too late, especially with relegation being a big threat right now. The club is understood to have already begun the process of finding a new coach, but they also have to make sure that they avoid relegation at the end of the season. With a new coach set to come in next season, the Siya crew takes a look at what's happening behind the scenes as they look to find the ideal candidate to get them back to where they were in the past, when they used to win knockout competitions.
MAMELODI SUNDOWNS
Mamelodi Sundowns usually go out into the market to bring some of the best talent local football has to offer. They have also flexed their financial muscle by going outside of the country's borders to secure talent. But with so much quality in the team, there's usually no room for players to get into the matchday squad, which is why quite a number of players from the club are loaned out. In this feature, Soccer Laduma looks at the challenges players face when being loaned out regularly and why it's not always easy for players to return to Chloorkop and play regularly.

In this interview with Soccer Laduma, the 47-year-old also shared his thoughts on the importance of proper coaching.

In this interview with Soccer Laduma, Mohapi opens up about their decision to get the mother body involved.
