Kaizer Chiefs suffered a damning defeat at the hands of Gallants, stretching their gap from MTN 8 qualification.

Nedbank Cup final berth is the silver lining in their season of suffering, a feeling AmaKhosi fans are getting accustomed to after last campaign’s tenth-placed finish.

Wandile Duba will be pivotal to ending their ten-year trophy drought when they face Orlando Pirates on May 10.

Mayele and Salum off the table?

The Soweto giants are experiencing further mishaps in the boardrooms as long-term priority targets Fiston Mayele and Feisal Salum appear set to reject Kaizer Chiefs’ offers.

The former, who guided Pyramids FC to the Champions League finals with an emphatic brace over Orlando Pirates, has been offered a two-year deal by his current team. And with the former they’re in, simultaneously topping the Egyptian Premier League, you get the feeling he may stay.

“They [Pyramids FC] are doing everything to keep him. They know there is interest not just from Kaizer Chiefs but other clubs as well and they want to make sure they keep him,” said Soccer Laduma.

“ So they have offered him a new two-year contract which increases his value as well.”

Regarding Salum, Kaizer Chiefs now face competition against his former club Young Africans.

“Tanzanian midfielder Feisal Salum’s potential return to Young Africans is intensifying amidst growing interest from several other clubs,” a source revealed.

“Salum has emerged as a prime target for Kaizer Chiefs head coach Nasreddine Nabi, who previously worked with the midfielder at Yanga. With clear indications pointing towards a move for Aziz Ki at the end of the season, Yanga are reportedly keen to welcome back Salum.”

“The midfielder has only a year left on his contract with Azam FC and is reportedly eager for a move. A return to Yanga would be an appealing prospect for the Zanzibar-born midfielder.”
