Kaizer Chiefs will be letting go of several senior players as they continue to build towards challenging for the title.
Seven Kaizer Chiefs players face the axe during a Naturena clearout
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. With Mayo showing glimmers of form and Mmodi always a useful guy to deploy in several attacking positions, the other five are likeliest to leave. Furthermore, the club is readying a new contract for Brandon Petersen. The ‘keeper claimed 15 clean sheets from 24 appearances in the 2025-26 Betway Premiership season. The 31-year-old is in South Africa’s 32-man preliminary World Cup squad, too. That group will get trimmed to 26.
Pitso’s Kaizer Chiefs connection doesn’t mean he’ll coach them
Legendary coach Pitso Mosimane has explained his inextricable connection to Kaizer Chiefs. The former Sundowns boss is perennially linked with Chiefs, whether there’s any legitimacy to those links to a club which might roll out a key phase of their rebuild this winter.
Via FarPost:
“It’s a small world. Doc’s [Khumalo] father was the one putting me in the car. Football is a small world, and we belong to one family. It’s a big, but very small family,” said Mosimane.
