Kaizer Chiefs are wasting no time preparing for the upcoming season, with head coach Nasreddine Nabi pushing forward an aggressive squad refresh, and midfield lies at the heart of his plans.
Nabi has already earmarked new talent to strengthen the engine room, with Tanzanian international Feisal Salum and Sipho Mbule possibly topping his wishlist. These moves signal a strategic shift for the Amakhosi, particularly in central midfield, where competition is set to intensify.
Zwane’s future hangs at Chiefs
Samkelo Zwane, who managed just 13 appearances across all competitions last season, now finds himself in a precarious position. As new midfield talent edges closer to Naturena, Zwane risks being pushed further down the pecking order.
Zwane’s representatives are preparing to meet with Chiefs management to clarify the club’s stance. They want to know whether the 23-year-old still fits into Nabi’s long-term vision — or if a loan spell might offer him a better path forward.
AmaZulu on alert as clubs monitor Zwane
With uncertainty clouding Zwane’s future, rival clubs are circling. According to reports, AmaZulu are among the teams keeping a close eye on developments.
“I don’t know about any AmaZulu interest but the boy needs game time. The way I see it right now is that he is going nowhere, as things stand,” a source close to the player told this publication.
Despite the rumours, Zwane remains determined to fight for his place at Chiefs. But his camp understands the risks of another season with limited opportunities, especially during a critical phase of his development.
Should Zwane stay at Kaizer Chiefs or find a new home?
