Domestic football returned with a bang at the weekend after a two-week long international break that saw Mamelodi Sundowns being confirmed champions earlier than expected.
There was also some cricket festivity, as some Proteas players put out a brilliant show to make personal records on a special occasion.
Here are some of the highlights of the best moments over the weekend:
