REVEALED: Why Kaizer Chiefs have dropped their interest in Mayele
Kaizer Chiefs are growing frustrated with Pyramids FC as negotiations over a potential move for Fiston Mayele stall. As things stand, Congolese marksman Fiston Mayele will not be joining Kaizer Chiefs. 'Almost every time they want to sign him, the price goes up because there are other clubs interested in him as well, and now it's believed that Pyramids are extending his contract, which makes it even harder to convince them to let him go,' a source revealed. 'So, it's for these reasons that the club is believed to have reached a decision to give up on Mayele for now.' In March 2025, Rushwin Dortley underwent knee surgery to address an issue that was far more serious than initially thought. There are no specifics on a timeframe for his recovery. However, it's unlikely we'll see him play any competitive football before September. Still, the player will feel that the worst is over. Also, it's not uncommon for players to become more resilient and mentally tough after serious setbacks so early in their careers. Dortley will almost certainly miss the start of the 2025-2026 campaign as the club looks to err on the side of caution. Their reward will be a fully fit and motivated Rushwin Dortley.

When is Rushwin Dortley returning for Kaizer Chiefs?
Rushwin Dortley is on the road to recovery from knee surgery. When will we see the talented defender in a Kaizer Chiefs jersey again? In March 2025, Rushwin Dortley underwent knee surgery to address an issue that was far more serious than initially thought. There are no specifics on a timeframe for his recovery, but it's unlikely we'll see him play any competitive football before September. Still, the player will feel that the worst is over. It's also not uncommon for players to become more resilient and mentally tough after serious setbacks so early in their careers. Latest Kaizer Chiefs rumours The first half of the campaign was one to forget for Chiefs. Rushwin Dortley, however, was one of the true bright sparks of a season threatening to peter out into nothing. The 23-year-old central defender from Cape Town immediately looked assured and at home in big matches for Chiefs, and indeed South Africa. The left-footed ball-player quickly became a key pillar in the defence, making 21 appearances across all competitions before being struck down. The technical team will need to be cautious when they reintroduce him to the fold after such a lengthy layoff, but it's undoubtedly a huge plus to see him on the comeback trail. Many observers feel he was the club's best performer until the untimely injury. Amakhosi board to AXE three popular senior stars Dortley has been a revelation in his debut campaign.
