Today’s Kaizer Chiefs transfer wrap has tidbits on Manqoba Ozoemena and a big decision by a former Orlando Pirates player.
20-year-old attacking midfielder Manqoba Ozoemena is a target for Usuthu before the 2025-2026 season. Former Chiefs coach Arthur Zwane, now at the helm of AmaZulu, is an admirer of the player.
Thabiso Monyane swapped 13 years with Pirates for a fresh start at Chiefs.

According to local reports, Usuthu want to test Chiefs’ resolve to keep talented playmaker Manqoba Ozoemena.
“It’s believed that the AmaZulu FC technical team has proposed to management about Manqoba (Ozoemena). Coach Arthur (Zwane) knows him very well, and he believes that the player can help the team this season as they compete in the MTN8 and the other tournaments as well,” said a source familiar with the negotiations.
Monyane’s new chapter in Soweto
Thabiso Monyane sounds positive about his new Soweto chapter with Kaizer Chiefs. Only time will tell whether he’s made the right move in terms of trophy success, but he’ll certainly get more game time after becoming a fringe player behind Deano van Rooyen and Thabiso Lebitso at Pirates. Will he get a frosty reception when the clubs meet on 28 February, 2026? Left-back Paseka Mako has also made the move after seven years with the Buccaneers.
“I’ve been received well by the technical team, the players and the staff, arriving from the other side of Soweto. “It has been a breath of fresh air, and I am embracing a new culture.”
Will Chiefs fight to keep hold of Ozoemena?
