Mduduzi Mdantane and George Matlpu are both likely to leave Chiefs at the end of the season.
'Mduduzi Mdantsnae and George Matlou are also believed to be also on their way out at Kaizer Chiefs,' the insider reported on Phakaaati.
Meaning, Mdantsane will likely be released permanently.
He is currently on loan with PSL rivals, Richards Bay. Additionally, Matlou is once again linked with an exit.
These Amakhosi midfielders have struggled for gametime under Nabi this season.
Furthermore, he currently sits behind the likes of Yusuf Maart, Sibongiseni Mthethwa, Gaston Sirino, Samkelo Zwane and Nkosingiphile Ngcobo in the pecking order.
Therefore, both men will benefit from a move to another club.

Kaizer Chiefs set sights on free agent sensation Velebayi again
Kaizer Chiefs have reignited their pursuit of exciting winger Asanele Velebayi, now a free agent after Cape Town Spurs' dramatic relegation to the Western Cape ABC Motsepe League. Amakhosi are determined not to miss out on the 22-year-old again after their previous attempt to sign him before the 2024/2025 season collapsed. Back then, Cape Town Spurs, known as the Urban Warriors, refused to let go of one of their brightest prospects. But circumstances have changed, and Chiefs are ready to act. Spurs were recently relegated after losing a legal battle involving Durban City and their player Sazi Magawana. The ruling had a domino effect on the club's status, freeing Velebayi from his contract and placing him firmly on the radar of top-tier teams. Velebayi's representatives had been awaiting the outcome of the case before weighing up options for his next move. With the situation now clear, negotiations have kicked off, and Kaizer Chiefs are one of the first clubs to show serious intent. While Velebayi's name has drawn interest from multiple teams, it's the Soweto giants who appear most determined to bring him onboard. 'Several clubs have expressed interest in the talented young winger,' said a source. 'But Chiefs are hopeful they can secure his signature.' The winger's camp is actively seeking the best fit for his career, and a final decision is expected imminently. Chiefs are looking to strengthen their attacking options after a lacklustre season in front of goal. Adding Velebayi, known for his blistering pace and sharp footwork, would mark a significant boost to their squad depth. 'If successful, Velebhayi's signing would be a good signing for Chiefs,' the source confirmed. Let us know by leaving a comment below or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1.

Kaizer Chiefs in secret talks to sign goal machine Steven Mukwala
Kaizer Chiefs have set their sights on prolific Ugandan striker Steven Dese Mukwala, with a source confirming the club's growing intent to secure his signature ahead of the next transfer window. When head coach Nasreddine Nabi was spotted at the KMC Complex in Tanzania during the Simba vs Singida clash, he wasn't just there for show, he was watching Mukwala in action. The 25-year-old striker has been a standout performer this season, and his presence on the pitch clearly caught Nabi's attention. Behind the scenes, things moved swiftly. Chiefs' head of scouting and recruitment, Thembela Maliwa, alongside Nabi's assistant Cedric Kaze, held a secret meeting with Mukwala's agent at a private hotel in Dar es Salaam. The agenda? A potential move to Naturena. 'Chiefs have a strong interest in the Ugandan striker and are ready to make an offer to sign him,' a source confirmed. However, any immediate deal could face a delay. Simba SC President Mo Dewji has reportedly instructed the club not to entertain transfer negotiations for Mukwala, until the conclusion of the current Tanzanian season, which is the 22 of June 2025. But Kaizer Chiefs aren't the only ones circling. Newly crowned CAF Confederation Cup winners RS Berkane have also made formal enquiries following the final in Zanzibar. The Moroccan outfit are said to be preparing a R5.3 million bid to lure the striker north. Mukwala's statistics this season highlight exactly why he's attracting so much interest. He has bagged 12 goals and delivered three assists, making him one of the most efficient forwards on the continent. To add to that, the ex-Asante Kotoko forward remains under contract until June 2027. With two major clubs now vying for his services and more potentially to come, Mukwala has become one of the most in-demand strikers in African football. Once the Tanzanian season ends, expect a transfer showdown. Will Steven Dese Mukwala fit in at Kaizer Chiefs or RS Berkane? Let us know by leaving a comment below or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1.
