Kaizer Chiefs have reinforced their squad with a handful of new faces. Are they closer to mounting a title tilt? Let’s take a look.
Thabiso Monyane and Paseka Mako bring ready-made PSL experience and defensive acumen, while Siphesihle Ndlovu is a seasoned campaigner at this level.
Playmaker Ethan Chislett, striker Flavio Silva and left-back Nkanyiso Shinga arrive from foreign clubs.

Kaizer Chiefs XI with new signings
Bvuma; Monyane, Miguel, Dortley, Shinga; Ndlovu, Cele; Lilepo, Chislett, Mako; Du Preez.
This system would see Mako used in a more advanced role down the left-hand side. What’s painfully obvious, still, is that Chiefs need a conventional striker. Tashreeq Morris isn’t the long-term solution, while Ashley Du Preez prefers operating in the wide areas. New boy Flavio Silva has attracted some criticism after his performances in pre-season.

Mofokeng is the best player in Mzansi
At 20 years old, Relebohile Mofokeng is the jewel in the Orlando Pirates crown. There’s talk that the Sea Robbers will listen to offers of R32 million for the winger. Make no mistake, Rele Mofokeng is a brilliant player, potentially the South African with the highest ceiling. What message does this send to European clubs wanting to smuggle South African talent if Mofokeng signs for a team in Spain, Italy, France or Germany and then gets sold for roughly five times that number?
