OPINION: Why Kaizer Chiefs should sell Mdu Shabalala
The 21-year-old has been frustratingly inconsistent since becoming a key player in the starting XI.
Should Chiefs be looking to attract foreign wealthy suitors?
The Chiefs striker curse
At the start of the 2024-2025 season, Mdu Shabalala was a critical component in the Chiefs' side, operating from the number 10 role. His output was healthy, too. However, that has dwindled dramatically. In 27 league appearances, he only got four goals and an assist.
Kaizer Chiefs transfers: Three youngsters with mixed futures
Only a bold man would predict that Mduduzi Shabalala will leave Chiefs in the winter, but his long-term prospects don't look great. The writing isn't on the wall yet, however, and it's up to the player to prove how much he wants to become a legend at the club. If big offers come in from any of the wealthy clubs in South Africa, or better yet, abroad, Chiefs might have to seriously consider them. The money could go towards two or even three new young prospects playing in South Africa.
Finally, some good news for Kaizer Chiefs fans Mduduzi Shabalala of Kaizer Chiefs. Image: Muzi Ntombela/BackpagePix

Orlando Pirates say goodbye to two more players
Orlando Pirates have shipped out two more players as they continue to refine preparations for the 2025-2026 season. Yanga Madiba will spend the new season with Orbit College. Thuso Moleleki will also be with the PSL newcomers this season, along with Monnapule Saleng. 'Nkota is already a better player after leaving Pirates' Monnapule Saleng isn't the only Orlando Pirates player who will represent Orbit College in 2025-2026. 'Following the signing of Saleng, Orbit have also concluded a loan move for Pirates left-back Yanga Madiba. The 23-year-old will have a second loan spell with Orbit, having spent the 2023-2024 season in the second division with the club,' FarPost confirmed. According to unfounded local rumours, 2023 Copa Libertadores champions Fluminense are admirers of Orlando Pirates star Rele Mofokeng. The 20-year-old wide attacker scored 15 goals and supplied 12 assists in a scintillating 2024-2025 campaign. As ever, he also shone on the big games and on the big stages. Fluminense has boasted some big names in its history, including Romario, Ronaldinho, Marcelo and Thiago Silva. It remains to be seen whether there is any truth to these rumours, however. Saudi side Al-Ettifaq, who recently signed winger Mohau Nkota from Pirates, have also enquired about Mofokeng. Saleng paints a grim picture of his Orlando Pirates future Pirates superstar Rele Mofokeng is reportedly wanted across Europe, in Saudi Arabia and now Brazil. Image: IOL 29-year-old Nkosinathi Sibisi will wear the captain's armband at Pirates in 2025-2026. He was a key figure last season alongside breakout star Mbekezeli Mbokazi in the heart of defence after Thabiso Sesane was struck down with a long-term injury. What happens when Sesane returns will be fascinating, as he might even dislodge the new captain. That's a nice problem for new boss Ouaddao to have, though. Sibisi made 42 appearances last season across all competitions, including 25 in the league. Orlando Pirates get R31 million EFT, but it comes at a HUGE cost!

Chiefs have also made a number of new signings in Ethan Chislett, Nkanyiso Shinga, Flavio Silva, Thabiso Monyane, Paseka Mako and Siphesihle Ndlovu. This could be an important step for Chiefs if they seriously want to compete with their Soweto Derby rivals Orlando Pirates and the reigning Betway Premiership champions Mamelodi Sundowns. Former Chiefs forward Justice Sithole said: 'You need to have quality players who understand the team if you really want to compete for major trophies. 'I think that at the moment, after the Nedbank Cup final, Chiefs can take it from there and move forward.' It's also Nasreddine Nabi's second season in charge as Chiefs coach, and now that he has settled into the role and clearly has the backing of the club, he has all the ingredients he needs to 'start cooking'. @Michael_Sherman IOL Sport
