South African Smith comes out of retirement, sets sights on 50m breaststroke at LA28

South African defender Olwethu Makhanya, 22, is making waves in Scotland and catching Europe's eye with his impressive performances for Rangers. The defender was secured by Rangers in July and has already received recognition from former Republic of Ireland international Aiden McGeady, who has praised his consistency and skill. Makhanya's talent has not gone unnoticed, with rumors of major offers potentially coming his way if he continues to impress under head coach Pitso Mosimane.

The Bafana Bafana defender is set to face Guinea in an Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) qualifier on September 30, with Eritrea being their next opponent in the Group D fixture on October 30.
