The 2025/26 Betway Premiership season has passed its halfway mark and there’s a mad scramble for bragging rights as the country’s top goal scorer.
Last season, Mamelodi Sundowns’ Lucas Ribeiro Costa proved to be the deadliest striker in the country with 16 goals.
It’s unlikely that anyone will break – or come even close – the all-time PSL record of 25 goals held by Zambia’s Collins Mbesuma while playing for Kaizer Chiefs in the 2004/05 season.
