Kaizer Chiefs news: Edson Castillo and Bafana defender
The Kaizer Chiefs midfielder is no longer with Amakhosi and has reportedly already signed a new contract with a club abroad. Kaizer Chiefs chairman Kaizer Motaung unveils Edson Castillo before the 2023/24 Betway Premiership season. Image: @kaizerchiefs/X Despite his confirmed departure behind the scenes, Kaizer Chiefs have remained publicly silent, mirroring the pattern seen with recent exits like Bongani Sam and Tebogo Potsane — both of whom left weeks before the club formally acknowledged their departures. The Venezuelan international joined Amakhosi ahead of the 2023/24 season and quickly became a fan favourite with his high work rate and ability to arrive in the box to score. Kaizer Chiefs' transfers: Eight released, and six signed Despite his quality, the 31-year-old missed a chunk of last season out injured. With coach Nasreddine Nabi actively searching for foreign players to become regular starters, Castillo had to make way. While there may be internal reasons for Kaizer Chiefs' timing of announcements — such as pending negotiations or legal formalities — the lack of clear communication continues to fuel speculation and confusion. Kaizer Chiefs questioned on Sundowns-bound star Until Amakhosi breaks its silence, Castillo's departure remains unofficial in public terms — but within football circles, it's already a done deal. KAIZER CHIEFS' REMAINING OPTIONS IN THE NUMBER EIGHT ROLE: Siphesihle Ndlovu Nkosingiphile Ngcobo Thabo Cele (primarily a number six) George Matlou. Targets: Feisal Salum Lebogang Maboe. A wonderfully talented Kaizer Chiefs product, Khulumani Ndamane, is edging closer to joining Mamelodi Sundowns from TS Galaxy. The situation has sparked intense debate among fans and analysts, calling into question whether Kaizer Chiefs' decision-making in recent transfer windows is letting valuable talent slip through their fingers. Ndamane, a 21-year-old left-footed center-back, left the Amakhosi reserve side to impress during his breakout season with Galaxy—and even earned a Bafana Bafana debut. 'Sometimes the guys (at Chiefs) are not making the right decisions,' Khan said… Full story here.

Bafana midfielder: Orlando Pirates changed my life
Orlando Pirates midfielder Thalente Mbatha has opened up about how his move to the Soweto giants completely transformed his life — not only professionally, but personally as well. While the former Highlands Park and SuperSport United star is grateful for the opportunities and exposure that have come with Orlando Pirates, he admits that stardom also comes with its own set of challenges. Mbatha, who joined Pirates on loan from SuperSport United before making the move permanent, has enjoyed a rapid rise over the past season. Bafana Bafana star: 'Why I joined Sundowns' Orlando Pirates midfielder in the Betway Premiership against Kaizer Chiefs. Image: IOL Mbatha's quality not only earned him silverware with Orlando Pirates but also resulted in his first call-up to the Bafana Bafana national team. For Mbatha, the impact has been massive. 'Playing for Pirates has changed my life, in a positive way,' Mbatha said via iDiski Times . 'I got my first national team call-up, I was able to be seen outside the country, and my name is now on a bigger stage. That's something I've always worked toward. Sundowns coach Cardoso defends his style But with the spotlight comes scrutiny — and the 25-year-old Orlando Pirates maestro admits it hasn't all been easy. He says that simple, everyday moments now feel different. 'It's hard to do things in private now, where I can just laugh out loud in a mall or be myself,' he said. 'Now there are opinions about you. People watch you, judge you — and sometimes even misunderstand you. 'If I have a disagreement in a shop or say something that someone doesn't like, suddenly it's a headline — because of who I am. That's a lot of pressure for a young player to adjust to,' Mbatha added.

Bafana Bafana star: 'Why I joined Sundowns'
After making the move to Sundowns from Stellenbosch in August 2024, the striker quickly silenced any doubts about his ability to perform at one of South Africa's supremos. The Mitchells Plain-born star hit the ground running, scoring on debut in a continental qualifier and following that up with crucial goals in both domestic and Champions League fixtures. By midseason, Rayners had already registered double figures in goals and was consistently involved in build-up play and assists.
