Wandile Duba was one of four players missing from Kaizer Chiefs’ first training session back after the 2024/25 season concluded due to partaking in the COSAFA Cup. The additional talent who didn’t feature are Mduduzi Shabalala, Bruce Bvuma and Aden McCarthy.
The club granted them additional leave in order to recover properly before boarding the plane to Europe, where they will take on Dutch giants FC Utrecht.
What’s happening with Saleng?
Earlier in the month, it was reported that Monnapule Saleng had signed a pre-contract with Kaizer Chiefs. However, this seems to be more myth than fact, with neither party confirming the news.
AmaKhosi have several attackers in their sights, including Orlando Pirates target Laurindo Depu Aurelio.
“What I can tell you is that both teams had their scouts there. The scouts were all happy with what they saw in Depu and they enquired about him,” a source confirmed.
“Apparently Kaizer Chiefs wanted their defender Inacio Miguel to help them talk to the player and his representatives. And Orlando Pirates also believed to be willing to talk to the player. They have their different reasons but apparently the scouts from both clubs are happy with what they saw.”
A second source confirmed the rumour, saying, “Apparently Chiefs don’t want to dwell much on Feisal Salum if the price is still that high and will now consider Depu.”
“But the problem is Depu is now based in Portugal and it could also be another challenge. However it’s believed that they want to use Inacio Miguel to bring Depu to Naturena. So let’s wait and see.”
Would this be a good signing for Kaizer Chiefs?
