With the fast-paced and fluctuating landscape of football, no team, regardless of its prestige, can avoid changes. Renowned team Kaizer Chiefs is about to initiate a comprehensive restructuring, involving both players and coaching staff. There is a palpable sense of expectation surrounding the revelation of a new coach and a series of player exits.
Prominent players such as Siyethemba Sithebe and Sifiso Hlanti are rumored to be on the verge of shifting clubs as their contracts approach their end. They share this ambiguity with Happy Mashiane and Zitha Kwinika. Amid these conjectures, Njabulo Ngcobo consistently fights off rumors about his possible departure. Other players including Edmilson Dove, George Matlou, and Keagan Dolly are also facing uncertain futures with their contracts nearing their end.
Sithebe, recognized by his unique dreadlocks, was considered a surefire candidate for leaving the Chiefs. His infrequent appearances under Molefi Ntseki and Cavin Johnson, due to injuries and other reasons, reinforced this assumption. Hence, his inclusion in the first lineup against Cape Town City, followed by another appearance against Stellenbosch, was surprising.
In an unforeseen twist, rumors surfaced last month suggesting the Chiefs were considering extending Sithebe’s contract. This idea would have been unthinkable for most Chiefs fans at the start of the year. Reports indicated that a new two-year deal for the player was being considered. Despite this, recent updates hint that the player may still be at risk of departing the club.
Should Sithebe decide to leave, he would not lack for admirers. Two KZN clubs, Golden Arrows and his ex-club AmaZulu, are rumored to be eyeing him. Sihlangu Sithebe, the player’s agent and brother, revealed that Chippa United has also expressed their interest in Sithebe.
However, the Chiefs management is not ready to bid farewell to Sithebe. They have proposed a new contract, and discussions are ongoing. The team’s management met with the Sithebes a fortnight ago, expressing their intention to offer Siyethemba a new contract. A follow-up meeting was arranged for this week, but it had to be rescheduled due to the absence of Junior Motaung. The negotiations are expected to conclude next week.
As the Chiefs gear up for a new beginning next season, the onus is on Sithebe to weigh his options. If he opts to leave, he could potentially become a regular first-teamer at Chippa, AmaZulu, or Arrows. However, the prospect of a renewed contract from Chiefs, along with the chance to be part of a restructured squad, could present compelling reasons for him to stay.
