Kaizer Chiefs news: Lost relationship and new midfielder
It's fair to say Kaizer Chiefs have lost a reliable recruitment relationship following the abrupt sale of SuperSport United to the newly formed Siwelele FC. The now-defunct SuperSport United had become a trusted talent pipeline for Kaizer Chiefs, supplying three signings in just two years. While it was a free transfer, the relationship came to life in 2023 with the arrival of Botswana international Thatayaone Ditlhokwe, who joined Amakhosi that year. The centre-back quickly established himself as a mainstay in Amakhosi's defence before he was sold to Al-Ittihad in Libya last term. Orlando Pirates respond to R120m Mofokeng news In January 2025, the two clubs agreed on the sale of striker Tashreeq Morris, who signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with the Soweto giants. Known for his physical style and attacking instincts, Morris was brought in to add experience and presence to the frontline… Full story here. R20 million paid into Kaizer Chiefs bank account? Former Kaizer Chiefs midfield ace, Willard Katsande, believes the Betway Premiership giants have signed a gem of a midfielder in Siphesihle Ndlovu. Kaizer Chiefs bolstered their squad ahead of the 2025/26 season, adding Ethan Chislett, Flavio Silva, Thabiso Monyane, Paseka Mako, Nkanyiso Shinga, and, notably, Siphesihle Ndlovu, signed from the now-defunct SuperSport United. According to Katsande, Ndlovu is the standout deal. As a former captain and midfield enforcer at Amakhosi, Katsande's opinion carries weight. His endorsement of Ndlovu speaks volumes about the club's recent activities in the transfer market. Siphesihle Ndlovu in the colours of SuperSport United against Kaizer Chiefs at the FNB Stadium.

Wits University Awards Kaizer Motaung Honorary Doctorate for His Impact on Sport and Society
Wits University has conferred an honorary Doctor of Commerce degree on football legend and Kaizer Chiefs founder, Kaizer Motaung, in recognition of his lifelong contributions to sport, education, and the upliftment of disadvantaged youth across South Africa. Motaung, a towering figure in South African football, founded Kaizer Chiefs Football Club in 1970 at just 27 years old. Today, 55 years later, the club stands as one of the most successful and beloved teams in the country, and Motaung's legacy continues to inspire both on and off the pitch. At the graduation ceremony, Wits University Vice-Chancellor and Principal Professor Zeblon Vilakazi praised Motaung's journey from humble beginnings to becoming a national icon. 'Dr Motaung's life story is a message on its own. He took a chance, he created something, and his actions spoke louder than any speech. He represents the spirit of innovation, determination, and community.' Motaung, who received an honorary doctorate in Social Sciences from the University of Cape Town in 2022, expressed his gratitude for the latest honour. 'I am very proud and happy to be part of this community. I may no longer be the 'Chincha Guluva' that people remember on the field, but I know that Kaizer Chiefs still plays a big role in the spirit of this country,' he said. Reflecting on a recent Kaizer Chiefs victory after a decade-long trophy drought, Motaung highlighted how football can influence national mood. 'A few weeks ago, we lifted a cup, and the entire country celebrated as if it was the World Cup. I am proud to have contributed to moments that bring joy to ordinary people.' Beyond football, Motaung has played a significant role in shaping the sport's structure in South Africa. He was involved in both the 2006 and 2010 FIFA World Cup bids and helped establish the Premier Soccer League. He continues to advocate for integrity and sustainability in the sport, voicing concern about the ease with which clubs are bought and sold. 'We need to put in place strict rules to protect the league's stability. It cannot be that anyone with access to money can simply buy a place in the league. That is something we must address,' he said. Motaung also took the opportunity to thank the loyal Kaizer Chiefs supporters. 'To the Amakhosi faithful, thank you for your passion, your loyalty, and your unwavering dedication.' Encouraging young people, Motaung urged them to take bold steps in pursuit of their dreams. 'Do not fear taking calculated risks. Life rewards those who are willing to take the stairs, one step at a time.' As he accepted the honorary doctorate, Motaung walked up the graduation stage, symbolically taking yet another step in his storied life. His journey continues to serve as a beacon of hope, leadership, and excellence in both sport and society.
