After a lengthy transfer saga, Kaizer Chiefs have successfully secured the signing of Ranga Chivaviro, a prolific striker, over their rivals Orlando Pirates. Marumo Gallants confirmed the sale of Chivaviro to Chiefs, putting an end to the extended battle between the two Soweto giants.
Chivaviro caught the attention of football enthusiasts after his excellent performance during his stint with the now-relegated Marumo Gallants, where he scored 17 goals in all competitions. Initially, rumors linked him to Amakhosi; however, the speculation subsided as Orlando Pirates appeared to be gaining ground on obtaining his signature by the end of the season.
Kaizer Chiefs were reported to be meeting Chivaviro’s representatives in an attempt to outpace their rivals, including Orlando Pirates. While Pirates seemed to be leading the chase for the player once more, another report surfaced indicating Chivaviro’s hesitation to sign with the ‘Happy People’ because of their already extensive forward options.
Amidst the uncertainty, news broke that Pirates had agreed on a double deal with Gallants worth R9.5 million for both Chivaviro and Katlego Otladisa. However, it soon became apparent that not all parties involved were on the same page. Subsequently, reports emerged that Chivaviro was seen at Naturena undergoing testing ahead of the pre-season with his new teammates.
In a media release on their social media page, Marumo Gallants confirmed the sale of three players, including Chivaviro to Chiefs and Otladisa to Pirates. The announcement marks the end of the intense transfer saga involving the two Soweto giants and the beginning of a new chapter for the players involved.
As Chivaviro dons the Kaizer Chiefs jersey, fans and football enthusiasts eagerly await his adaptation to his new team and whether his impressive goal-scoring ability will continue to shine. With this high-profile signing, Chiefs demonstrate their determination to strengthen their squad and remain competitive in the football landscape.
Meanwhile, Orlando Pirates have added another talented player to their roster, securing the services of Katlego Otladisa. Although they did not win the race for Chivaviro, Pirates have reinforced their team with a promising acquisition.
The protracted transfer saga involving Ranga Chivaviro has come to an end, with Kaizer Chiefs emerging as the triumphant party. As both clubs continue to build their squads and prepare for the upcoming season, the Soweto giants will undoubtedly face their rivals on the field with renewed vigor and determination.
