Kaizer Chiefs close to signing three in-demand free agents!
Kaizer Chiefs have the opportunity to pick up some serious muscle – for free. However, that doesn't mean they will. Asanele Velebayi and former Mamelodi Sundowns player Sipho Mbule, both out of contract, have been offered to AmaKhosi by their respective agents, but the club has yet to make a decision, showcasing their hesitation. Either player would presumably be a great addition for Kaizer Chiefs, but perhaps they have other players in mind and could see these two players as insurance if they fall short of other targets. AmaZulu FC star Rowan Human is another free agent who has been offered to the Glamour Boys. The 24-year-old recently decided not to extend his contract with uSuthu, making him available from July 1. 'AmaZulu FC midfielder Rowan Human has been offered to Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs by his representatives as he is set to leave the club on a free transfer. Human will leave Usuthu at the end of June after his contract expires after the 24-year-old failed to reach an agreement with the club on a new contract,' a source revealed. 'Human has been offered to both Soweto giants by his representatives and it could only be a matter of time before he gets snapped up as he will be a free agent and rediscovered his old form.'

Usuthu hit reset: Mass clear-out signals bold rebuild for AmaZulu FC
A full-blown rebuild is officially underway at AmaZulu FC. After yet another underwhelming season that yielded little more than frustration and missed opportunities, the KwaZulu-Natal club has opted for a drastic clean-up. Usuthu have parted ways with no fewer than 17 players ahead of the 2025/26 Betway Premiership campaign, as they attempt to hit the reset button and realign the club with its ambitions. This is not a minor reshuffle — it's a total squad reboot. The purge includes some high-profile names and long-serving players, with goalkeeper Veli Mothwa, defenders Ramahlwe Mphahlele, Mbongeni Gumede and Kwanda Mngonyama all shown the exit. Also making way are midfielders like Abubaker Mobara, Ethan Brooks, Rowan Human and Wayde Jooste — players who arrived with big reputations but struggled to lift AmaZulu to new heights. Director of Football Pedro Dias struck a respectful tone when addressing the departures, thanking the players for their service. 'I would like to thank all these individuals for their contributions to our club and community. We are grateful for the great moments we shared together. On behalf of everyone at AmaZulu FC, we wish them all the best in their future endeavours,' said Dias.
