According to SABC Sport journalist Mazola Molefe, Kaizer Chiefs defender Given Msimango and forward Ashley du Preez are part of the proposed deal.
The offer also includes a cash payment as Amakhosi push to strengthen their squad for the new Betway Premiership season.
GIVEN MSIMANGO INCLUDED IN KAIZER CHIEFS AND STELLENBOSCH FC SWAP DEAL
Mazola Molefe reported: “SABC Sport has established that defender Given Msimango is one of two players Kaizer Chiefs have offered, together with a cash payment, to Stellenbosch FC in an effort to secure the signing of highly rated winger Langelihle Phili.”
Msimango joined Kaizer Chiefs from TS Galaxy in 2023. He signed a four-year contract and quickly became a regular starter. The centre-back impressed in his first season. He also became one of the leaders in the backline.

His progress was later interrupted by a long-term injury. New defensive partnerships also reduced his playing time. The 28-year-old from Brakpan, Gauteng, fought his way back into the team. He started nine of Amakhosi’s final 10 matches last season.
Despite that, the club is now willing to include him in the deal for Phili.
ASHLEY DU PREEZ LEAVING SOWETO
Du Preez is the second player included in the proposal. The forward joined Kaizer Chiefs from Stellenbosch FC in July 2022. The reported transfer fee was R10 million.
He enjoyed some memorable moments at Naturena. He scored twice in the Soweto Derby and provided the winning assist in the 2025 Nedbank Cup final.
However, injuries and inconsistent form affected his progress. The 28-year-old, known as “Slosh” in Stellenbosch, made only 13 appearances in all competitions during the 2025/26 season. He failed to score a goal.
Reports suggest Du Preez has already agreed personal terms with his hometown club Stellenbosch FC.
If the clubs agree on a deal, Kaizer Chiefs will secure Langelihle Phili. Stellenbosch FC would receive Given Msimango, Ashley du Preez, and a cash payment in return.
