Kaizer Chiefs will aim to bolster their goalkeeping options in January with an old target back on the menu.
Chiefs reignite Nwabali interest
According to Soccer-Laduma, Kaizer Chiefs will make another offer for Chippa and Nigeria goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali in January. The 28-year-old stopper has made 10 Betway Premiership appearances this term with four clean sheets.
“Chiefs are interested in Nwabali again. Expect the club to push hard in pursuit of his signature this time around. The team’s defensive record is worrying for the technical team and management, and they will be using the next few weeks to work on a possible solution,”
Kwinika set to leave
According to The Citizen, Zitha Kwinika is leaving Chiefs as soon as January. The 30-year-old has been an unused substitute in Chiefs’ last two clashes; a 2-0 loss to Polokwane and a 1-1 draw with TS Galaxy. He’s yet to make an appearance in the 2024-2025 campaign. The former Stelleies star joined Chiefs in 2022 for a second stint at the club. Kwinika is a youth product of the Naturena club. Chiefs currently rely on Inacio Miguel and Rushwin Dortley as their first-choice central defensive pairing with talented duo Thatayaone Ditlhokwe and Given Msimango also vying for places.

Ranga Chivaviro spared some of Chiefs’ blushes to rescue a point against TS Galaxy with a 96th-minute equaliser in the 1-1 draw on Monday. The Glamour Boys must wait until Sunday December 29th for their next assignment. They face Chippa at their new temporary home, Moses Mabhida Stadium.
