Kaizer Chiefs continue to face immense pressure in the transfer window as Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns strengthen their squads. Chiefs, meanwhile, are still searching for their first big-name signing of the window.
Flavio Silva’s arrival gave fans some hope, but since then, little progress has been made. Kaizer Chiefs were linked with Appollis, Mayele, and Olunga, but none have materialised. As each day passes, frustration grows among supporters expecting a squad rebuild.
Jessica Motaung urges fans to be patient
Club marketing director Jessica Motaung has tried to ease tension, saying, “We’re still very active in the market. We are not done. The technical team is working hard to bring in the right players.”
Despite her message, Kaizer Chiefs fans are growing restless. Rival clubs have already made their moves, and some have completed full pre-seasons with new arrivals. Chiefs, on the other hand, are being criticised for being reactive rather than proactive.
The only internal movement has come from the youth side, with Naledi Hlongwane promoted. He’s promising, but fans know he won’t be able to carry the attack alone. Flavio Silva, untested in the PSL, is another question mark.
Kaizer Chiefs are chasing reinforcements in midfield and defence too, but right now, it’s the striker situation that has the fanbase talking. With the season around the corner, they need solutions — not statements.
Will Kaizer Chiefs be ready in time?
