1. Katlego Mphela
Mphela was a joy to watch at Mamelodi Sundowns, scoring almost 50 goals during his time at the club. He was a well-oiled machine and made himself a big-name player in the PSL.
He moved to Kaizer Chiefs and unfortunately things were not the same. He only stayed at Naturena for one season before moving on.

2. Ramahlwe Mphahlele
Mphahlele left Mamelodi Sundowns in the middle of the 2016 season and the club went on to win the CAF Champions League trophy. He was looking for a chance at silverware at Kaizer Chiefs but it was not to be as he still hasn't lifted a title with the Soweto club.
3. Siboniso Gaxa
His wasn't a direct transfer as he started off at Mamelodi Sundowns and then went off to play his football in Belgium. He returned to the country and joined Kaizer Chiefs, winning the league and a few other titles.
4 Women not allowed to take part in the Tokyo Olympics
Briefly News previously reported that in 2018, World Athletics adopted hormone restrictions that prohibit intersex athletes from competing in international competitions such as the Olympic Games.
Intersex women, who naturally have greater testosterone levels than non-intersex women on average, are barred from participation in any running event between 400 metres and a mile unless they take medication or have surgery.
Caster Semenya is a two-time Olympic double 800-metre gold medallist. Due to World Athletics regulations, she was forbidden from competing in international championships in her favourite event in 2018. She is currently in a legal battle with World Athletics to have this overturned.
