The Betway Premiership mid-season transfer window is underway. Shortly before it opened, news had already broken of Mbekezeli Mbokazi's headline-grabbing move to Chicago Fire FC in the United States' MLS.
In the weeks since, there have been more movements among some of South Africa's biggest clubs, and we'll keep you updated here as the action unfolds.
Joining Mbokazi at Chicago Fire is 21-year-old Puso Dithejane, a winger signed from TS Galaxy who was developed at Kaizer Chiefs and was linked with a potential return there or a move to Mamelodi Sundowns.
Mamelodi Sundowns have signed Colombian forward Brayan León from Independiente Medellin. He adds a different dimension to their attack, potentially adding the flair and intelligence between the lines that they lose when Themba Zwane is unavailable.

Mamelodi Sundowns pulled off a signing that will be difficult to emulate in terms of shock value. On January 9, the defending champions announced the signing of midfielder Monnapule Saleng from title rivals Orlando Pirates.
Saleng had previously been on loan at Orbit College in the early stages of the current season. His time at Pirates had been affected by personal issues - as per his agent, P Management's Karabo Mathang-Tshabuse, speaking to Mazola Molefe for Smash Sports.
However, he was an important player for them when in form - particularly in the 2022-23 season - and could make a significant impact on Sundowns' title defence if he plays to his potential.
Orlando Pirates have confirmed the signing of New Zealand forward André de Jong, who becomes the first Kiwi to represent the Buccaneers at senior level in recorded history.
Orlando Pirates have confirmed Sinoxolo Kwayiba's return to Chippa United only six months after moving in the opposite direction.
An offensive-minded midfielder who can also play out wide, he has found himself behind the likes of Relebohile Mofokeng, Sipho Mbule, Patrick 'Tito' Maswanganyi, Cemran Dansin, Tshepang Moremi and others in areas he could have contributed.
After only four appearances in all competitions for Pirates, Kwayiba leaves the league leaders for the team currently sitting bottom of the Premiership.
In a move announced last month, former Orlando Pirates right-back Wayde Jooste has signed for Stellenbosch FC after being without a club for six months following his departure from AmaZulu.
With Stellies 14th in the Premiership, he adds a different option to a squad that has been stretched by high turnover and CAF Confederation Cup commitments.
Daniel Msendami & Mpho Chabatsane
Orlando Pirates announced the signings of duo Daniel Msendami and Mpho Chabatsane from Marumo Gallants on Jan. 13. Msendami is a 25-year-old Zimbabwe international winger, while Chabatsane is a 23-year-old left-back.
Pirates have more depth on the wings than at left-back, but Msendami is the more established of the duo, so it remains to be seen how much game time they receive in the second half of the season.
Matías Esquivel
Argentine midfielder Matías Esquivel has returned to Mamelodi Sundowns after an unsuccessful six-month loan spell at Greek side AE Kifisias.
Lehlohonolo Bradley Mojela
Sekhukhune United announced the signature of striker Lehlohonolo Bradley Mojela from Stellenbosch on Jan. 7.
Stellies managed to tie Devin Titus, who had been linked with a move away, down to a long-term deal. However, they have allowed another key attacking option to depart.
Mojela's time at the club has been affected by injury and he underwent knee surgery in late 2024. He joins a team currently sitting third from the team that beat them to third place and CAF Confederation Cup qualification last season.
Former Orlando Pirates defensive midfielder Timm has left Sekhukhune United for Motsepe Foundation Championship side Cape Town City. The 33-year-old has struggled to hit his best form under Eric Tinkler and after six months, he has moved to the team sitting fourth in the second tier.
Amede Tidiane Diomandé
Sekhukhune announced on Jan. 8 that they had signed 26-year- Ivorian winger Amede Tidiane Diomandé, who last played for Stade d'Abidjan.
Kodisang's temporary loan agreement with AVS Futebol SAD has been terminated, purportedly by mutual consent - meaning that for the time being, he is once again a Mamelodi Sundowns player.
