In the midst of what had been believed to be a FIFA-imposed ban, TS Galaxy have announced eight new signings ahead of the season, headlined by Kaizer Chiefs' former DDC captain Ntandoyenkosi Nkosi. 

The new signings unveiled are Sedwyn George, Onke Moletshe, Anslin Williams, Matome Mmolai, Mzwandile Dlamini, Veluyeke Zulu, and Siyabonga Nguessan, in addition to Nkosi.

The Rockets have seemingly defied the odds over four FIFA-imposed bans just in time for the start of the season as they face Sekhukhune United in the quarter-final of the MTN8 on Saturday. 

In the days prior, club chairman Tim Sukazi was understood to be in a race against time to free his club from the bans imposed by the mother body in December last year and in May 2025. 

Three of the bans had been lifted, with two being cleared as recently as last weekend, leaving just one bad sanction remaining with days to go until the start of the season.

However, the announcement of the eighth arrivals signals that the Rockets had made a plan to have the final ban lifted, which had prohibited them from registering new players. 

Still, Galaxy will take on Babina Noko without the vital services of Keagan Dolly, Dzenan Zajmovic, Kamogelo Sebelebele, who have all left the club, with the latter joining Orlando Pirates recently.  

Galaxy's quarter-final with Sekhukhune will be played at Peter Mokaba Stadium.

Kick off is at 18:00
