Kaizer Chiefs target wanted in Africa
Kaizer Chiefs are expected to welcome a couple of new wingers to Naturena next season. Keletso Makgalwa might not be on that list.
A source has told a local outlet that the 28-year-old winger has been noticed in North Africa.
'What I can tell you at this point is that it's a team from North Africa. There are some talks and logistics that are still going on concerning the enquiry from the club and it is not the right time to divulge more information now.
The source added on Soccer Laduma : 'But I promise you the interest is there and the move of Elias Mokwana has attracted more teams from North Africa to look at South Africa, and Keletso is the latest target.
What about Kaizer Chiefs? 'There were different clubs which showed interest in Keletso locally and nothing happened,' the insder revealed.
'The one I know that really wanted him is believed to be Kaizer Chiefs. But at the moment the North African club is in the forefront that seems to be moving in faster on him,' he concluded.

'I advised Chiefs to sign Mayele but Bobby ignored me'
Former Kaizer Chiefs striker Kanga Nzenza says he once advised Amakhosi to sign Congolese top striker Fiston Mayele, but his plea was left unheard. Mayele is one of the hottest strikers on the African continent, having helped Pyramids win the CAF Champions League this past weekend. The 30-year-old finished the competition as the top goalscorer, having scored in the semi-final and final. Since last year, Kaizer Chiefs have been linked to Mayele, but no formal bid has been made by the Soweto giants. Nzenza mentioned that he spoke with Amakhosi boss Bobby Motaung about the striker. 'I once advised Chiefs to acquire Mayele,' Nzenza told KickOff. 'Just look at what he is doing now. I was clear that Chiefs needed to sign him because he has the ability to do well here. He can blend well with the Chiefs players and has been performing well, even though he may not be in top form at the moment. 'I even mentioned to that I was struggling to reach Bobby Motaung about Mayele because he is always busy. My plea was that Chiefs must sign him. They received my message, but they didn't act on it,' added the retired footballer. 'At the time, he was playing for Yanga in Tanzania, but then a club from Egypt signed him. He's an exceptional player. Whenever he comes to play for the national team, they refer to him as a super sub. 'Whenever he comes on, he changes the game. Look at how Sundowns lost the [Caf] Champions League because of him.' Given how much Mayele earns at Pyramids, Kaizer Chiefs are unlikely to afford his wages. The striker is set to leave the Egyptian club at the end of the season, according to reports.
