Kaizer Chiefs have a quintet of new faces at the club. None featured against Kruger, but that should change in the coming weeks.
Chiefs complete a quintet of signings
Khanyisa Mayo has signed permanently from CR Belouizdad for a reported fee close to R9.8 million following a prior loan spell. Adolf Mtasingwa is a 27-year-old defensive midfielder signed from Azam FC for an undisclosed fee, and the first Tanzanian player to join Amakhosi. Mtasingwa brings valuable experience, having spent six seasons in Scandinavia, playing in the Icelandic, Norwegian and Finnish leagues. He returned home in 2024 to help Azam FC finish third in the Tanzanian league last season. He is the vice-captain of his nation.
Central defender Thabo Moloisane brings PSL know-how after becoming a mainstay for an impressive Stellenbosch side. Moloisane can also operate at right back when needed. 28-year-old goalkeeper Renaldo Leaner joins from Sekhukhune to bolster Chiefs’ options between the sticks. The 1.87m-tall stopper has been capped by Bafana. Finally, Langelihle Phili brings electric pace and directness from wide areas. The 21-year-old is expected to officially arrive from Stellies.
Kaizer Chiefs fans critical of Adolf
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. This was before his outing in the MTN8 on Sunday. Now, the feedback is even less kind, with fans on Facebook asking Chiefs scouts to ‘pack their belongings’ after signing the Tanzanian midfielder.
