Kaizer Chiefs will remove all sentimentality when making decisions on the future of several senior playing personnel.
Kaizer Chiefs to ditch senior trio
Happy Mashiane, Ranga Chivaviro and Zitha Kwinika don’t have long-term futures with Kaizer Chiefs, according to KickOff. Kwinika’s place in the pecking order is precarious with several central defenders at the club. Rishwin Dortley is also returning from a long-term injury. Happy mashiane has neer nailed down a place in the full-back slots, while Ranga Chivaviro will likely be shipped off as the club intensifies its pursuit of Fiston Mayele.

The chase for Fiston Mayele heats up
Chiefs secure a point at Sekhukhune
Despite going behind early in the contest, Nabi’s Kaizer Chiefs secured what might prove to be a massive point away to Sekhukhune in a 1-1 draw thanks to Glody Lilepo’s equaliser deep into first-half stoppage time. It means the Glamour Boys can guarantee an MTN8 place with a win on the final day at home against Polokwane City. However, Polokwane sit two points above Chiefs and still need a point to guarantee their own path into the MTN8.
Dortley’s eventual return will be a huge boost
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 22-year-old central defender from Cape Town immediately looked assured and at home in big matches for Chiefs, and indeed South Africa. Losing Dortley in March was a massive blow as the youngster needed surgery. We could see him back in action near the start of the 2025-2026 campaign. That would feel like a new signing for the fans. Dortley 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.
