Former Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Keletso Makgalwa continued his rich vein of form in the CAF Champions League, scoring the fourth goal in Simba SC’s resounding 6–1 demolition of 15 de Agosto in the first leg of the second preliminary round. The victory, overseen by head coach Steve Barker, puts the Tanzanian giants on the brink of securing a coveted spot in the tournament’s group stage.

Makgalwa’s well-taken strike took his tally to two goals in as many matches for the club, underlining his growing influence since making the move north. The performance was dominant from start to finish, with Simba running riot and leaving their Angolan opponents chasing shadows for long stretches. By the time the final whistle blew, the scoreline read 6–1 — a result so emphatic that the return leg appears little more than a formality.

For Makgalwa, the run of form represents a significant milestone. Having come through the ranks at Sundowns and learned his trade under one of Africa’s most successful setups, he is now thriving as a key figure in Barker’s ambitious side. The club’s supporters are already dreaming deep into the competition, and with Makgalwa finding the net with confidence, there is every reason to believe their team can make a serious impression on the continental stage.

With a five-goal advantage to protect, Simba SC will travel away for the second leg in total control — and Keletso Makgalwa will be eager to add to his growing haul.
