Percy Tau: R450k salary for two years from Kaizer Chiefs perfect
Former Mamelodi Sundowns and Al Ahly attacker Percy Tau has admitted he would not mind playing for Kaizer Chiefs.
The 31-year-old Bafana Bafana international is in the country, and was spotted attending Orlando Pirates' final game against Magesi FC last month.
Tau is currently a free agent following his release from Qatar SC whom he barely spent six months with.
Speaking to Robert Marawa on 947 on Wednesday, Tau said while he would give Sundowns first preference, he's open to playing for any PSL club.
However, whoever wants his services should be reasonable because he's also a reasonable individual.
Asked about whether he would consider a move to Chiefs if Sundowns don't offer him a deal, Tau was non-hesitant.

Kaizer Chiefs set to show fan favourite the door?
Kaizer Chiefs are working on revamping their squad ahead of a potentially busy 2025/26 season with a continental charge. Despite losing out on a top eight finish last season, Chiefs still qualified for the CAF Confederation Cup. This came courtesy of their 2-1 victory over arch rivals Orlando Pirates in the Nedbank Cup final. That also earned Chiefs their first trophy since 2015. Now both of those feats will necessitate change in the playing squad. The punished on some for a lack of quality which led to a lack of contribution. But also them having to make way for a better quality due to a higher level required on the continent. There have been quite a few rumours with regards to who Chiefs are targeting. But before those players come in, they're moving quickly to free up some space. Last week, they announced the departures of academy products Sabelo Radebe and Njabulo Blom. Following that, they have also confirmed the release of striker Ranga Chivaviro. Now according to Soccer-Laduma , midfielder Samkelo Zwane could be next out the door at Chiefs on loan. 'Soccer Laduma understands that the central midfield is a key department that Nabi wants to bolster and this could have a negative effect on Samkelo Zwane, who did not get much game time in the past season. With new faces expected to join (Chiefs), competition for Zwane will be even harder. Soccer Laduma understands Zwane's camp will meet up with management at Naturena to get some clarity on whether the player fits into the plans of the technical team. While the player is determined to fight for a spot in the team, his camp is aware of what not getting regular game time can do to his career.' Wrote the publication.

New talents emerge for Bafana Bafana ahead of Fifa World Cup qualifiers
Basadien's possible future move Stellenbosch FC defender and stand-in Bafana Bafana captain Fawaaz Basadien is in demand after an impressive season for his club. As the countdown to the World Cup qualifiers in September begins, Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos has taken proactive steps to refine the national squad by playing friendlies. Recently, the national team managed a goalless draw against Tanzania before securing a convincing 2-0 victory over Mozambique. The line-up featured a mix of experimental talent as several key players from Mamelodi Sundowns and overseas-based players were absent; the performances from emerging stars have ignited optimism for the team's future. Among the stand-out performers in these matches were the Orlando Pirates duo of Relebohile Mofokeng and Mohau Nkota, who both demonstrated their potential for most of the season in the domestic arena. Additionally, three other players made a compelling case for their inclusion in future Bafana Bafana squads: Mbekeza Mbokazi, Fawaaz Basadien and Luke le Roux. 1 Mbekezeli Mbokazi At just 19 years old, Mbokazi has created a buzz in South African football, establishing himself as a candidate for the left centre-back position that Broos has pinpointed as needing urgent attention. He rose through the ranks at Pirates with remarkable speed and now made his national debut against Mozambique. He had an impressive understanding of the game alongside his club teammate Nkosinathi Sibisi in the rearguard. From the moment he stepped onto the pitch in international colours, it was evident that Mbokazi's talent transcended his age. He has solid defensive skills, is comfortable on the ball and poses a threat during set plays. Mbokazi impressed with his tenacity and aerial prowess. Not the tallest of defenders, his ability to secure aerial duels often contrasts with expectations, proving that skill and determination can conquer physical limitations on the pitch. 2 Fawaaz Basadien Basadien, who captained the team against Tanzania, exhibited strong leadership, tactical skills, and unwavering commitment to his team. At Stellenbosch FC, he is recognised for his ability to inspire teammates and maintain a positive attitude. He is a dependable set-piece taker and provides excellent ball distribution, making him an asset on the pitch. In the 2024/25 Premiership season, Basadien made a significant impact with his goal contributions, scoring seven goals and providing eight assists in 46 matches. In his debut against Tanzania, Basadien established himself as a reliable option in the left-back position. He demonstrated commendable composure, and his ability to push forward will be vital for South Africa as they aim to score when chasing matches, especially when compared with the inconsistent performances of Bafana Bafana incumbent Aubrey Modiba. 3 Luke le Roux The 25-year-old Sweden-based midfielder Le Roux has had health setbacks that have denied him regular duty for the national team. His recent performances highlight his technical prowess, showcasing a mastery of possession that is invaluable as South Africa gears up for crucial World Cup qualifiers. His physical strength, stamina, and work ethic that does not wane have made him an indispensable asset to both his club and the national squad. Regarded as a 'box-to-box midfielder', Le Roux's ability to transition between defensive responsibilities and offensive thrusts plays a significant role in shaping the team's dynamics. His impressive aerial ability allows him to excel in duels, contributing significantly to both defence and attack. Coupled with his tactical intelligence, Le Roux demonstrates an understanding of the game, making astute decisions on the pitch that often tilt the balance in tight encounters.

Kaizer Chiefs star grabs his second chance, set for big reward!
Kaizer Chiefs are ready to shuffle their pack ahead of the 2025/26 season with incomings and outgoings. ADVERTISEMENT Although they won the Nedbank Cup, Chiefs still failed to finish the season in the top eight positions. Chiefs had a season of contrasts That contrasting season will also see three types of actions being taken by Chiefs ahead of the next campaign. They will try and sign players in order to be competitive in the league and local cups. They will also look to those new additions to boost their CAF Confederation Cup charge. Secondly, there will be players who will be deemed surplus to requirements and those who will be retained. Three players released so far Chiefs have already released three players so far, Sabelo Radebe, Njabulo Blom and Ranga Chivaviro. While many more are set to follow, one player that seems to not be on that list is Sibongiseni Mthethwa. The defensive midfielder had a mixed season in the past campaign under Nasreddine Nabi. Upon the Tunisian's arrival, he seemed not to be in the plans and wanted to offload him. But an improved second half of the season saw him become more involved. Mthethwa was also solid for Chiefs in their run to the Nedbank Cup win. Now according to Soccer-Laduma, he is set to be rewarded with a new contract. ADVERTISEMENT Mthethwa set for new deal 'The club has already taken the initiative to keep the midfielder (Mthethwa) for two more years. The talks are believed to have started before the end of the season. But apparently things are looking good. It will all now depend on what both parties are looking at. But the talks are open,' Well deserved? Chiefs fans, would you be happy to see Mthethwa's contact renewed? Has he done enough to earn it? Let us know by clicking on the comment tab.
