Kaizer Chiefs will look to trim down a bloated squad at the end of the current campaign. Which players will survive the cull?
Several senior stars on the brink at Kaizer Chiefs
According to various reports, as many as seven senior players have their Kaizer Chiefs contracts expiring in June. They are Gaston Sirino, Khanyisa Mayo, Zitha Kwinika, Bruce Bvuma, Dillan Solomons, Sibongiseni Mthethwa and Pule Mmodi.
Kaizer Chiefs eyeing new defenders and a midfielder
Local reports suggest that 25-year-old defender Mhleli Mabuza is top of Chiefs’ shopping list. The right-back has been with Portuguese side O Elvas after leaving third-tier outfit Amora SC. His short-term deal expires in June. This comes hot off the heels of rumours linking the club with Sekhukhune’s Bright Ndlovu, who moved to Babina Noko in 2024. Thabo Moloisane is a long-standing target after a string of impressive displays for Stellenbosch FC, where he’s an indispensable first-team regular. Siwelele midfielder Grant Margeman, formerly of Sundowns, is also a rumoured target.
