Kaizer Chiefs’ players are known to be some of the best paid players in the PSL.

THE HIGHEST-PAID KAIZER CHIEFS’ PLAYERS

Recently they have sought to cut their wage bill, letting top earners like Khama Billiat and Samir Nurkovic depart the club.

A memorable long-range Soweto derby goal has been his standout contribution.

Injuries have hampered his progress at the club and prevented him from pushing for a Bafana berth.

ASHLEY DU PREEZ – R300,000

Ashley Du Preez also came in ahead of the 2022/2023 season, joining the club from Stellenbosch FC.

He has established himself as a regular in attack with his pace a real asset for Chiefs in various formations.

Du Preez might expect a pay rise if he is to sign another contract with Chiefs.

ZITHA KWINIKA – R370,000

Chiefs needed to offer former Glamour Boys junior player Zitha Kwinika a big salary to get him back at Naturena.

Kwinika undoubtedly paid his dues and worked his way into contention for a big contract.

He also joined the club in 2022 as Chiefs raided Stellenbosch for the stars of the Cape side’s 2021/2022 campaign.

ITUMELENG KHUNE – R480,000

Despite taking a paycut with his most recent contract at Kaizer Chiefs, Itumeleng Khune still commands a princely sum.

It seems that his days of mega-earning might be drawing to an end.

Khune is set to be released by Chiefs at the end of the 2023/2024 season.

THE HIGHEST-PAID KAIZER CHIEFS’ PLAYER

KEEGAN DOLLY – R1,4 MILLION

It is perhaps an indictment of Kaizer Chiefs and their recruitment that their highest-paid player has had such a slight impact on the squad.

Dolly was enticed back to South African football by a deal that would rival what he could command in Europe.

He is also a candidate for release at the end of the current season.
