Ntseki Believes Kaizer Chiefs’ New Signing Sibongiseni Mthethwa Brings Fresh Possibilities
The recent signing of Sibongiseni Mthethwa by Kaizer Chiefs has brought a wave of excitement among the team and its fans. The 28-year-old midfielder made a last-minute move from Stellenbosch FC to Chiefs just a day before the transfer window closed last Friday. In his debut game for Chiefs, Mthethwa showcased his skills and potential, leaving a positive impact on the team’s performance.
During the 2-1 DStv Premiership victory over Sekhukhune United, Mthethwa came off the bench in the 64th minute. This substitution proved to be a crucial moment for Chiefs, as they had just equalized after conceding an early goal. Mthethwa took on the role of defensive midfielder, allowing Yusuf Maart to push up and contribute more to the team’s attack.
