Goal.com reported that du Preez and Kwinika will join the Amakhosi on July 1, forming part of Arthur Zwane’s rebuild.

Chiefs’ newly appointed coach is looking to part ways with players while bringing in new players as the Amakhosi return to their former glory days.

Stellies confirmed the news on their Twitter account, praising the players for their contribution to the club.

Du Preez’s signing itself is a massive deal for the Amakhosi as they were in the hunt for a lethal striker. Du Preez scored nine goals and created three assists in 29 games this season.

Somizi Mhlongo wows Instagram followers with football skills and jokes that he’s signed with Kaizer Chiefs

Kaizer Chiefs have recently been linked with many names but never with Somizi Mhlongo.

The Idols SA judge linked himself with the Amakhosi when he shared a tongue-in-cheek post on Instagram.

Somgaga shared the video of himself in soccer attire, showcasing his footballing skills. Somizi captioned the video, ‘I’ve just signed with @kcfcofficial. It’s about time we win consistently.’

Kaizer Chiefs appoint Arthur Zwane as permanent head coach and name Dillon Sheppard as Amakhosi’s assistant coach

The wait is over for Kaizer Chiefs fans.

The Amakhosi held a special press briefing today in which they announced Arthur Zwane as their new head coach for the upcoming season. Zwane has been serving as an interim coach alongside Dillon Sheppard since the club sacked Stuart Baxter.

Numerous names were linked with the coaching role during that time, but fans believed that Zwane deserved the chance to lead the Soweto giants. Zwane has been handed a three-year contract. Dillon Sheppard will serve as the assistant coach.
