Kaizer Chiefs have wrapped up half a dozen new signings and there’s another one on the way from the beautiful Mother City of Cape Town.
Asanele Velebayi and Luke Baartman are on the radar of the Chiefs technical team and board after agreeing personal terms.
However, Cape Town Spurs and Chiefs must settle a legal dispute before they can complete these deals.

Kaizer Chiefs thought they had secured Velebayi and Baartman
Chiefs believed that targets Luke Baartman and Asanele Velebayi were no longer contractually tied to the Mother City outfit Cape Town Spurs. This, after Spurs’ relegation from the Motsepe Foundation Championship to the amateur ABC Motsepe League. Spurs are contesting Chiefs’ claims in court. 22-year-old winger Velebayi made 23 appearances in the 2023-2024 Betway Premiership season. Striker Baartman, still just 19, made nine league appearances in the same season, scoring twice.
Are Baartman and Velebayi worth the hype?
