Kaizer Chiefs change minds on African star?

It seems Kaizer Chiefs have made a U-turn on Fiacre Ntwari. The Rwandan star may be staying at the Betway Premiership giants.

For months, reports linked the former TS Galaxy star with a move to Africa. Tanzanian giants Young Africans and Simba SC were rumoured to be circling.

But in a twist, Kaizer Chiefs have reportedly decided to keep him on for the 2025/26 season to compete with Brandon Petersen and Bruce Bvuma.

Ntwari made 21 appearances for TS Galaxy before earning the move to Amakhosi. Since moving to Soweto, he has featured sparingly, struggling to secure regular game time behind the first-choice goalkeepers.

“Ntwari is an international goalkeeper. He’s with the team and the club wishes him all the best this season,” a source told Soccer Laduma. “They want him to push Brandon for that spot. You have to understand, he plays for the Rwanda national team. The club wants that competition.”

“As much as Petersen may start, Ntwari must also fight with Bruce Bvuma. Nothing is guaranteed. The club wants him to stay and compete,” the insider added.
