History
The club was founded in 2025 following owner Lister Makatoane's purchase of JDR Stars. Makatoane was previously a director at JDR Stars.
Prior to the start of the season, the club alleged that Premiership club TS Galaxy had illegally procured some of its players.
The club failed to pay salaries in November 2025, and as of 22 December, December salaries were still unpaid.
