As reported by Sowetan LIVE, the Amakhosi announced the signings of Dillan Solomons, Kamohelo Mahlatsi and Lehlogonolo Matlou from Swallows FC and confirmed the arrival of Siyethemba Sithebe from AmaZulu FC.

Sithebe agreed to join Chiefs in January this year once his contract with the Usuthu officially ended.

The Amakhosi took to their social media pages to confirm the news and to announce that Mduduzi Shabalala has been promoted to the first team.

Shabalala has been a standout performer for the Amakhosi’s DStv Diski Challenge side and has already undergone trials in Belgium and Spain.

With coach Arthur Zwane being a believer in giving youngsters a chance, Shabalala was quickly snapped up by the Amakhosi.

Kaizer Chiefs snap up another target, reportedly agree terms for Sekhukhune United captain Yusuf Maart

Kaizer Chiefs have done it again. The Amakhosi have reportedly agreed on terms with another transfer target, this time from Sekhukhune United.

KickOff reported that Chiefs had reached an agreement for Sekhukhune United midfielder, Yusuf Maart.

The publication reported that Chiefs were negotiating for some time with Sekhukhune United for their club captain. Sekhukhune are believed to have wanted R10 million for the Bafana player, but the two clubs are believed to have settled on a price of R6 million for him.

Kaizer Chiefs announce mass clearout, Daniel Cardoso, Lee Baxter and Leonardo Castro are among those released

Kaizer Chiefs are in the process of a mass clearout at the Naturena. The Amakhosi announced on their social media pages that a host of players, and some technical staff, would be parting ways with the club.

Kearyn Baccus, Daniel Akpeyi, Leonardo Castro, Daniel Cardoso, Lebogang Manyama, Lazalous Kambole and Samir Nurković will all leave the club at the end of June.

The Amakhosi have also put Anthony Akumu Agay on the transfer list and parted ways with goalkeeper coach, Lee Baxter.
