Roc Nation Sports International (RNSI) - the global sporting arm of Jay-Z's Roc Nation - has announced an expansion of its football operation in Africa, signing eight rising young players, including Mamelodi Sundowns starlet Siyabonga Mabena.

After months of speculation and initial denials, South African broadcaster SuperSport have confirmed the sale of Betway Premiership club SuperSport United to Siwelele Football Club. What does the future hold for the fans and players?

Here are our African highlights -- and lowlights -- from a FIFA Club World Cup showcase which will be remembered very differently by the continent's key protagonists.

Silly season is in progress in South Africa's Betway Premiership, with the PSL transfer window seeing increased action for Cape Town's troubled teams, and the likes of Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs picking up some handy players.

Orlando Pirates have named former Morocco international Abdeslam Ouaddou as their new head coach, following the departure of Jose Riveiro before the end of the recently concluded Betway Premiership season.

The equation is simple for South African champions Mamelodi Sundowns, who battled Borussia Dortmund to a 4-3 defeat on Saturday, ahead of Wednesday's FIFA Club World Cup clash with Fluminense: win or go home.

After a 1-0 win over Ulsan HD which put them top of Group F, Mamelodi Sundowns will secure their last 16 spot at the FIFA Club World Cup if they pull off a shock win over German giants Borussia Dortmund on Saturday.

Senegal's display against England was the highlight of the international break, but Africa's other teams also produced displays to talk about... Though South African fans may want to forget about it.

South Africa's Mamelodi Sundowns will kick off their Club World Cup campaign with a clash against K League 1 champions Ulsan HD on June 18 (Central African Time) in Orlando.

Mamelodi Sundowns' Tashreeq Matthews was hesitant to return to South Africa after a spell in Europe, playing for Borussia Dortmund, FC Utrecht and three Swedish clubs, but then the Brazilians came knocking.
