TS Galaxy FC have added former Orlando Pirates youngster Dimpho Madalane to their squad and seen striker Victor Letsoalo rise in the all-time scoring ranks. The club sits ninth in the Betway Premiership with five points from four matches, eight points behind leaders Orlando Pirates.
Who is new signing Dimpho Madalane?
Kickoff reported this week that TS Galaxy have completed the signing of midfielder Dimpho Madalane. The 23-year-old from Mhluzi in Middelburg had been a free agent since his release from Orlando Pirates midway through last season. He was scouted during the 2024 Pirates Under-21 Cup, where his performances earned him the Player of the Tournament award.
Madalane, nicknamed 'Khalabemgeza', even traveled with the Pirates senior squad for a pre-season tour of Spain. After his release, he played for his hometown ABC Motsepe League side Middelburg United. Middelburg United manager Lucas Sebona confirmed the player's move to TS Galaxy, according to the Kickoff report. The Rockets moved quickly to secure his signature ahead of other interested clubs.
How is Victor Letsoalo climbing the scoring charts?
Striker Victor Letsoalo's fast start to the season has propelled him up the PSL's all-time scoring list. Kickoff notes that his four goals in the opening four league games have taken his career total to 75 goals in top-flight South African football. This tally includes goals from his time with Baroka FC, Bloemfontein Celtic, Royal AM, AmaZulu FC, Sekhukhune United, and now TS Galaxy.
Letsoalo has reached this milestone in 267 games, averaging a goal every 3.56 matches. With 75 goals, he now ranks third among currently active PSL players, behind only Bradley Grobler and Iqraam Rayners. He has surpassed the late Dennis Lota and Abram Raselemane, who both had 74 goals. The next target for the 33-year-old is the late Alton Meiring's total of 79.

What does the wider transfer window look like?
The broader Betway Premiership transfer activity was detailed by The South African. While TS Galaxy secured Madalane, other clubs have been busy reshaping their squads. Durban City, for instance, brought in several experienced names including Tashreeq Morris and Gaston Sirino from Kaizer Chiefs, and Seth Green from Orlando Pirates.
Kaizer Chiefs themselves added players like Renaldo Leaner from Sekhukhune United and Thabo Moloisane from Stellenbosch.
