Kaizer Chiefs to say goodbye to African star?
Kaizer Chiefs are expected to welcome one or two new goalkeepers before the start of the 2025/26 Betway Premiership season. It's been nine months since the Rwandan international goalkeeper Fiacre Ntwari joined Amakhosi from TS Galaxy. Despite a promising start at the beginning of last Spring, Ntwari has been out of the Kaizer Chiefs team since October 2024. According to Soccer Laduma, Ntwari is faced with a massive decision: Should he leave Amakhosi for better game time or stay on to fight for his place in the Kaizer Chiefs starting line-up? 'Chiefs is a big team, and the boy (Ntwari) knew going there that it won't be easy,' a source told Soccer Laduma. 'I'd say it's frustration (that makes him consider leaving the club), but that doesn't mean he has stopped working. And that doesn't make him a bad player suddenly,' a source close to the player told the Siya crew. 'He is being encouraged to fight for his place. He's got a long-term contract with the club,' the source added on the Amakhosi goalie. In the meantime, Kaizer Chiefs are linked with Mali international Djigui Diarra from Young Africans in Tanzania.

Fiacre Ntwari urged to leave Kaizer Chiefs for regular game time
Ntwari told to leave Chiefs Faicre Ntwari has not played for Kaizer Chiefs ever since losing the starting spot to Bruce Bvuma. Photo: BackpagePix Rwandan goalkeeper Fiacre Ntwari has been told to leave Soweto giants Kaizer Chiefs in order to get regular game time. The 25-year-old Ntwari arrived at Chiefs from TS Galaxy ahead of the ongoing season, and was expected to nail down the number one jersey as Nasreddine Nabi attempted to make the club great again. However, things have not gone so smoothly for Rwanda's number one, and he has slid down the pecking order at the club. After some early struggles, Nabi handed the gloves to Brandon Peterson and Bruce Bvuma, with the latter going on to cement his place as the club's first choice between the sticks. Ntwari has not played competitive football for the club for six months.
