The 2025/26 Betway Premiership season has entered its closing stages 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.
Unbreakable record?
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.
Heading into the final throes of the season, only two players have double-digit goals this campaign.
