Timba has joined Gomora United, while Mkhawana will continue his development at Kruger United FC. Defenders Kgosana and the midfielder Ozoemena have both moved to Casric Stars, a side known for giving young players responsibility early, while Mbuthu heads to Leicesterford City.

KAIZER CHIEFS RESERVE TEAM SUCCESS

The young Amakhosi are the current holders of the DDC after becoming champions last season. They ended a decade-long wait for the reserve league trophy.

The Soweto giants secured the title with a game to spare in April 2025 following a clinical 3-0 victory over Magesi FC. They eventually concluded the season with a staggering 70 points, the highest points tally ever recorded in the DD, finishing seven points ahead of their nearest rivals, Stellenbosch FC.

Under the guidance of their technical team, the Kaizer Chiefs Reserves displayed unprecedented consistency, recording 22 wins and suffering only two defeats across 30 fixtures.
