Other rumors suggest that several other players might leave the team. Bvuma, the former Bafana Bafana goalkeeper, might be involved in a swap deal to make room for a new, unnamed goalkeeper. Ngcobo is already on the transfer list, and Dube’s exit is anticipated to create space for new arrivals.

Potential Exits

Radebe is rumored to be loaned out of the team, implying that the team’s management does not have plans for him in the upcoming season. Alexander is also likely to leave the team, as rumors of his departure have been circulating for weeks.

In a surprising turn of events, Mahlatsi’s camp has requested his transfer listing because of his limited game time. Bimenyimana is also likely to leave as the management decides that they possess better talent in the likes of Mduduzi Shabalala, Keagan Dolly, Christian Saile, and Wandile Duba. A loan move for the Burundian striker is also under consideration.

A possible surprise exit is that of attacker Sekgota, who is linked with a move out of Naturena. Despite his promising speed, Sekgota has not lived up to his potential at Amakhosi.

The Future

Kaizer Chiefs is undergoing significant changes as the team prepares to reshape its squad. The departure of numerous stars has put the team at a crossroads, and it is time for the Amakhosi to usher in new talent and begin a new chapter in their storied history. Fans and spectators alike can only wait and watch as the team goes through this metamorphosis.
