Chiefs sign SIX new players

Kaizer Chiefs have announced the signing of six new players ahead of the 2023/24 season.

The club announced during the January window period last season that it had secured the services of Botswana international defender Thatayaone Ditlhokwe on a pre-contract from SuperSport United. Ditlhokwe was with his national team during the recent FIFA international break and has signed a contract that will see him at Amakhosi until June 2027. He has been handed the famous jersey #24.

Another defender who was announced is Spiwe Given Msimango.

Masimango joins Amakhosi from TS Galaxy for the next 4 years. The 26-year-old, who hails from Brakpan, has the ability to play as a centre-back and a defensive midfielder.

With the Club having sold Siyabonga Ngezana to Fotbal Club FCSB in Romania, the duo will be expected to take on key defensive duties for Chiefs in the forthcoming campaign.

In the middle of the park, Chiefs have signed Mduduzi Mdantsane from Cape Town City.

Mdantsane is a product of Amakhosi Youth Development Academy and was released as a youngster to gain experience elsewhere.

The South American who plays in the middle of the park joins from Monagas SC in the Venezuelan Primera Division. He has been handed a two year contract with a one year option.

Amakhosi have also acquired the services of Pule Mmodi from Lamontville Golden Arrows for the next 3 years. The attacker from Masilo, Theunissen in the Free State, is equally effective as right or left winger, and managed to find the back of the net six times and give three assists for his previous Club last season. His jersey number is #13.

Ranga Piniel Chivaviro, who was banging goals in the league as well as the CAF Confederation Cup for Marumo Gallants last term, has also put pen to paper after agreeing to a two-year deal with a one-year option with the Glamour Boys. The Limpopo-born striker scored 10 goals in the league and seven in the Confederation Cup for relegated Gallants.

The club is exploring the potential for a few more player acquisitions before the start of the season, and announcements will be made once any deals have been concluded.
