Wandile Duba Injury Blow for Kaizer Chiefs
In news unrelated to transfers, Kaizer Chiefs’ young forward Wandile Duba is set to miss this weekend’s highly anticipated Soweto Derby.

Pitso Mosimane Eyes Exit from Esteghlal Amid Wage Disputes
In an intriguing development overseas, renowned South African coach Pitso Mosimane may be set to leave his post at Iranian club Esteghlal. Reports suggest that Mosimane is growing frustrated with the club’s failure to pay wages to staff, despite leading the team to an impressive run of results, with only one defeat in their last eight matches.
Keanu Cupido Heads to Sundowns from Cape Town City
In a confirmed transfer, Cape Town City defender Keanu Cupido is set to join Mamelodi Sundowns in a deal reportedly valued at around R10 million. The move, which is expected to be completed shortly, strengthens Sundowns’ defensive options as they continue their push for domestic and continental glory.

Oswin Appollis Linked with Move to Kaizer Chiefs
One of the most closely-watched transfer sagas in recent weeks has been that of Polokwane City’s Oswin Appollis. The highly-rated attacker is said to be on the radar of several clubs, with Kaizer Chiefs emerging as the frontrunners to secure his signature. Appollis has also been linked with lucrative moves to top North African clubs, with Tunisian powerhouse Esperance reportedly showing interest in the 23-year-old.
Thembinkosi Lorch to Kaizer Chiefs?
Another major rumour swirling around Transfer Deadline Day involves former Orlando Pirates star and current Mamelodi Sundowns forward Thembinkosi Lorch. The 31-year-old has reportedly been linked with a sensational move to Kaizer Chiefs, although these rumours should be taken with caution.
