"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.",

They are used to running riot against opposition, or grinding out a positive result even on a rare off day. However, Double Action, who the South Africans thumped 6-0 in last year’s edition, demonstrated massive improvement to hold the Tshwane side in Durban.</span>\r\n\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1357928\" src=\"https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Soccer-Cosafa-cup2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"472\" /> Mamelodi Sundowns players celebrate a goal in a Super League match against TUT FC at Wits Stadium in Johannesburg on 22 May 2022.

I think we are lucky to have her,” said Buffaloes coach Charles Haalubono of the impressive Lungu.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“She is also a utility player, you can play her even on the wings and on top, she is a key player for us,” he added.</span>\r\n<h4>Bragging rights</h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both sides have qualified for the second edition of Champions League set for Morocco later this year, this by virtue of reaching the final. Nevertheless, each will be out to claim the ultimate bragging rights of being the best club in southern Africa for 2022 come the final whistle.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The final will kick off at 3.30pm on Saturday, 13 August, after the bronze-medal match between Double Action vs Olympique de Moroni, of Comoros.
