Mthethwa is undroppable for Kaizer Chiefs
In 2024-2025, former Stellies man Sibongiseni Mthethwa only made 15 appearances in the league. This time around, he’s four from four. It’s clear to see that manager Nasreddine Nabi has discovered a level of trust in the 31-year-old’s skills in his system. With Cele and Mthethwa, Chiefs have a considerable defensive presence at the base of midfield, allowing Mduduzi Shabalala freedom to express himself in the number 10 role.
