More excitement is coming for Kaizer Chiefs fans. The Betway Premiership giants have reportedly signed the player known as “Gatyeni.”
According to the latest reports, former SuperSport United, Orlando Pirates, and Maritzburg United midfielder Siphesihle Ndlovu will wear gold and black next season.
Ndlovu becomes Kaizer Chiefs’ sixth signing this term after Thabiso Monyane, Paseka Mako, Nkanyiso Shinga, Ethan Chislett, and Flavio Silva.

According to FARPost’s Mthokozisi Dube, Ndlovu has signed a three-year deal after completing his medical test this week. Due to the VISA application process, the Pietermaritzburg-born player was unable to travel with Kaizer Chiefs to the Netherlands on Thursday.

“SuperSport United midfielder Siphesihle Ndlovu has completed his move to Kaizer Chiefs,” Dube said. “The clubs agreed on the transfer fee, and Ndlovu has signed his contract and completed his medical examinations.
“Ndlovu has signed a three-year contract but will not be joining the team immediately for their upcoming pre-season trip to the Netherlands. He needs a visa to travel to the Netherlands, which typically takes up to 15 days to process. The club is competing in the CAF Confederation Cup and believes their busy schedule will require a squad with depth and quality,” the report added.
