Kaizer Chiefs have expanded their midfield roster to seven after welcoming former Mamelodi Sundowns man Lebohang Maboe to Amakhosi.
Maboe, who arrives after a glittering stint at Mamelodi Sundowns, brings title-winning experience, versatility and a sharp eye for goal.
At 30, he’s seen enough big games, from league battles to continental trips, to know how to steady a squad under pressure. For Nasreddine Nabi, that’s a priceless addition.
LEBOHANG MABOE MAKES IT SEVEN MIDFIELDERS AT KAIZER CHIEFS
The Amakhosi midfield has been an area of constant concern in recent seasons, often criticised for lacking depth when injuries or suspensions pile up. Now, with the CAF Confederation Cup on the horizon, Kaizer Chiefs finally look stocked to avoid the kind of mid-season collapse that haunted them before.
Here’s the full updated midfield list after Maboe’s arrival:
- Sibongiseni Mthethwa
- Siphesihle Ndlovu
- Samkelo Zwane
- Thabo Cele
- Nkosingiphile Ngcobo
- Lehlohonolo Matlou
- Lebohang Maboe
Depth matters in modern football. It’s not just about the best XI, but about the rotation options, the players who can step in on a Wednesday night in Durban and still deliver on Saturday in Rabat.
Kaizer Chiefs now have that mix: Mthethwa for steel, Cele for control, Ngcobo for creativity, Zwane for energy, Matlou for flair, Ndlovu for work rate – and Maboe to knit it all together.
