This is the best Kaizer Chiefs signing so far

Former Kaizer Chiefs midfield ace, Willard Katsande, believes the Betway Premiership giants have signed a gem of a midfielder in Siphesihle Ndlovu.

Kaizer Chiefs bolstered their squad ahead of the 2025/26 season, adding Ethan Chislett, Flavio Silva, Thabiso Monyane, Paseka Mako, Nkanyiso Shinga, and, notably, Siphesihle Ndlovu, signed from the now-defunct SuperSport United.

According to Katsande, Ndlovu is the standout deal. As a former captain and midfield enforcer at Amakhosi, Katsande’s opinion carries weight. His endorsement of Ndlovu speaks volumes about the club’s recent activities in the transfer market.

“He’s my boy. Because you can see the way he poses,” Katsande said via FARPost. “Trust me, I’ve been a fan of him for some time. I could see the way he plays. He’s a very energetic boy. If we have to play, we can play; if we have to be stuck in tackles, we can stick in tackles. So I’ve seen him in a couple of games.

“Even sometimes, when I saw him in one of the matches, when he played at FNB Stadium, I told him, ‘boy, you deserve to be here. Not the other way around’. So I’m happy that the club brought him on board because he’s going to bring a lot of quality and value to the team.

BRINGING PEDIGREE AND EXPERIENCE TO KAIZER CHIEFS

Ndlovu, who lifted the MTN8 title with Orlando Pirates in 2011, already has 229 matches in South Africa’s top-flight despite his age of 28.

“Even experience‑wise, you know, he’s somebody who has won the trophies and somebody who knows how to play for a big team,” the former Kaizer Chiefs number six added. “So he’s going to be good, and he’s going to rub it into the young ones because he does have a never‑die spirit. And you could see the way he plays.

“He’s just an unbelievable boy. I can’t wait for him to play. I wish he can get number 31. For him to remember me. But I’m happy for him. He’s a very good boy,” Katsande concluded.
