Noxolo Cesane is leading the Hollywoodbets Super League Golden Boot race with 5 goals for Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies FC.
As domestic action pauses for the TotalEnergies CAF Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) preparations, the star midfielder has cemented her status as South Africa’s most in-form playmaker. Her stellar form has propelled the reigning champions to a perfect start, securing maximum points as they target an unprecedented sixth consecutive league title.
In-Form and Ruthless
Cesane’s transition into coach Sonia Borman’s high-pressing system has been nothing short of seamless. Previously a bit-part player during international stints in France and Saudi Arabia, her return to home soil has unlocked a devastating goalscoring instinct.
Last season, Cesane registered 7 goals across the entire domestic campaign. In stark contrast, she has already racked up 5 goals in just 4 matches in the 2026 Hollywoodbets Super League Amplified Festival. Her clinical performances—including a spectacular third goal to cruise past her former club UWC Ladies—
highlight a player performing at the absolute peak of her powers.
“I’m feeling more confident every game actually… But it starts from doing the simplest things on the field. Without the motivation and courage of the team, I wouldn’t be able to score these goals.”

The Golden Boot Leaderboard
The individual charts demonstrate exactly how fiercely competitive the race for the Golden Boot has become. Most notably, Noxolo Cesane leads rival international icon Refiloe Jane and JVW FC’s standout attacker Bonolo Mokoma in the scoring charts as the league enters the mid-season pause. Her relentless conversion rate gives her the statistical edge over the country’s most lethal finishers.
Propelling Sundowns Ladies and Eyeing Continental Glory
Cesane’s lethal finishing has directly translated to team success. Alongside league rivals JVW FC, Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies have achieved a flawless record of 12 points from 12 available. The Brazilians’ relentless frontline has heavily outscored opponents, establishing an early five-goal advantage at the top of the scoring charts.
This electric domestic form comes at the perfect time for both club and country. With league action temporarily halting, Cesane has been named to coach Desiree Ellis’s preliminary Banyana Banyana squad. Having recently surpassed her milestone 50th senior international cap, Cesane’s creative spark and lethal domestic run make her a foundational piece as South Africa prepares to mount a serious challenge for the WAFCON crown.

The Rugby World Cup has showcased some of the most memorable moments in rugby history. One such moment occurred during the 1995 tournament in South Africa when Jonah Lomu, a powerful New Zealand winger, steamrolled over England’s Mike Catt on his way to scoring a try. Lomu’s performance in that match remains an iconic moment in the sport.
