Today’s Kaizer Chiefs news wrap looks at permanent deals for Khanyisa Mayo and Adolf Mtasingwa. Glody Lilepo could also be leaving.
Chiefs fans aren’t sure about Mtasingwa
In the comments sections on Facebook, there have been some scathing responses to the acquisition of Adolf Mtasingwa. Several supporters feel as though he’s not of the calibre required by the club. Meanwhile, Kabelo Nkgwesa was given a run-out in Chiefs’ first friendly match of the tour, a 1-1 draw against Scottish giants Rangers. After getting a taste of first-team football, the 19-year-old left-back, nicknamed ‘Festival’, wants more.

confirm they have completed the permanent signing of Khanyisa Mayo from Algerian side CR Belouizdad.
“The deal was finalised for an undisclosed fee agreed upon between the two clubs.”
Lilepo next?
Glody Lilepo is another player who could be heading out the door. The Congolese wide attacker bagged five goals and four assists in 27 league outings last term in a mostly wide attacking role. According to several local reports, Stellenbosch winger Langelihle Phili remains near the top of Chiefs’ transfer wish list to replace him if he leaves. Phili got seven goals in 27 league outings last term. Could Ashley du Preez be used as a makeweight?
Kruger United meet Chiefs on their top flight debut
Meanwhile, Betway Premiership newcomers Kruger United will host Kaizer Chiefs on the first day of the 2026-27 season on Saturday, 1 August. The World Cup is a thing of the past, so we’ll soon be returning to the bread and butter of domestic league football. Maybe Donald Trump won’t photobomb the Mpumalana club’s big moment in the limelight.
