"description": "Daily Maverick is an independent online news publication and weekly print newspaper in South Africa.\r\n\r\nIt is known for breaking some of the defining stories of South Africa in the past decade, including the Marikana Massacre, in which the South African Police Service killed 34 miners in August 2012.\r\n\r\nIt also investigated the Gupta Leaks, which won the 2019 Global Shining Light Award.\r\n\r\nThat investigation was credited with exposing the Indian-born Gupta family and former President Jacob Zuma for their role in the systemic political corruption referred to as state capture.\r\n\r\nIn 2018, co-founder and editor-in-chief Branislav ‘Branko’ Brkic was awarded the country’s prestigious Nat Nakasa Award, recognised for initiating the investigative collaboration after receiving the hard drive that included the email tranche.\r\n\r\nIn 2021, co-founder and CEO Styli Charalambous also received the award.\r\n\r\nDaily Maverick covers the latest political and news developments in South Africa with breaking news updates, analysis, opinions and more.",

"contents": "<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mamelodi Sundowns extended their unbeaten run in the domestic DStv Premiership to 42 games when they drew 1-1 with SuperSport United on Tuesday night.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The result came just a few hours after Tanzanian outfit Young Africans, more commonly known as Yanga, were confirmed as the next hurdle Sundowns must surmount as they bid to clinch the Caf Champions League for just the second time in their history.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The two teams will clash over two legs for a spot in the semifinals. While the last time Sundowns failed to reach the quarterfinals was in 2018, this stage of the tournament is uncharted territory for Yanga. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This time around they clung on to second spot in Group D to finish on eight points from their six games, with Al Ahly claiming top spot. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the fact that they have appeared in more than 10 editions of the competition, the Tanzanians have usually fallen in the preliminary qualifying round or the stage following that, which precedes the group stage. Nevertheless, Yanga is going to be a tough test for the South Africans. </span>\r\n\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2093091\" src=\"https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/TL_2174843.jpg\" alt=\"Sundowns\" width=\"720\" height=\"499\" /> <em>Mamelodi Sundowns coach Rulani Mokwena during a DStv Premiership match against AmaZulu FC at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria on 27 February 2024. (Photo: Lefty Shivambu / Gallo Images)</em></p>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“My thoughts on the Champions League draw? I’m not so sure yet… Of course I watched the draw. But I don’t have immediate thoughts because I have to watch the opponent closely,” said Sundowns coach Rulani Mokwena during a press conference.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mokwena said the international break, set for next week, will be the perfect time for him to dig deep into Yanga and study their strengths and weaknesses. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“I’ve watched all the games in the Champions League. But I’ve watched as a coach, not as an analyst. Now I have to switch. Fortunately, I’ve got a nice Fifa break where my focus will just be on Yanga. I will go as far back as I possibly can.”</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite swatting aside all challengers to their domestic dominance in the league, success in the Champions League has proven a tougher mountain for Masandawana to conquer.</span>\r\n\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2093090\" src=\"https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/TL_2144538.jpg\" alt=\"Sundowns\" width=\"720\" height=\"504\" /> Thapelo Morena of Mamelodi Sundowns and Mohamed Fathi of Pyramids FC during a CAF Champions League match at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria on 10 December 2023.

They are yet to taste defeat after 18 league games, with 14 victories and just four draws. However, matches such as the draw against SuperSport have shown that there are chinks to be exploited in the shiny and expensive Sundowns armour. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“We have to improve. The moment everything is perfect, there is no job for the coach. So, we have to improve. There are things that have to be fixed… That’s our work. It’s not going to be perfect in every match,” Mokwena said. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yanga’s stars are coached by former Sundowns mentor Miguel Ángel Gamondi, who also managed another South African side, Platinum Stars, in the mid-2000s.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“Once you qualify for this stage, do not expect to face easy opponents. So, Mamelodi Sundowns are the type of opponent with whom we have no choice but to meet,” Gamondi was quoted as saying by Tanzania’s </span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Citizen</span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. </span>\r\n\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2093094\" src=\"https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/TL_2140398.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" /> <em>Maxi Mpia Zengeli of Young Africans in a CAF Champions League match against Al Ahly at Benjamin Mkapa National Stadium in Dar es Salaam on 2 December 2023.

The winner will tussle with either TP Mazembe of DR Congo or Angolan heavyweights Petro Atlético for a place in this season’s final.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first legs of the last eight will be contested on 29 and 30 March, with the return legs scheduled for the following weekend.
