KAIZER CHIEFS TO PROMOTE MANQOBA OZOEMENA?
The Kaizen Chiefs have been promoting Manqoba Ozoemena, a 19-year-old who has played U19 football and the DStv Diski Challenge. Ozoemena has been spotted training in Sakarya, Turkey with the senior team following Siyethemba Sithebe's departure.
SIPHESIHLE TATI AND NKOSANA MBUTHU
A new kid has left the country with the first team to spend pre-season in Turkey, as the Chiefs keep their promise to develop their own talent.
Just before Amakhosi's departure to Turkey on Thursday, 18-year-old reserve team player Mbuthu was spotted with two promoted teammates, Donay Jansen and Mfundo Vilakazi, all carrying their bags. Hours later, reports confirmed the team's travel plans for pre-season. This likely includes Mbuthu, who plays as a left-sided midfielder/winger. Injuries have kept Tebogo Potsane, Mduduzi Mdantsane, and George Matlou behind in South Africa.
Mbuthu's peer, Siphesile Tati, has also been included in the first team for pre-season.
The coaching team is currently assessing Kaizer Chiefs' talent Siphesihle Tati, according to the iDiski Times' leading reporter Sinethemba Makonco.
IDiski Times has learned that the midfielder is currently training with the senior team, under the assessment and watchful eye of Fernando Da Cruz, who will soon be named assistant coach.
Bongani Sam, 26, is available for free after his contract with Orlando Pirates expired on 30 June. Amakhosi are reportedly close to announcing his signing.
KAMOHELO MAHLATSI APPRECIATES AMAKHOSI
From Siphiwe Tshabala to Lebohang Manyama to Kamohelo Mahlatsi, Kaizer Chiefs' professional setup is admired.
Mahlatsi believes Amakhosi are the best club when it comes to professionalism and player care, despite his sudden departure from Chippa United after less than six months.
I don't think there is any team like Chiefs. Everything you want is there," Mahlatsi told FARPost's Sinethemba Sithole. "The Chiefs were sharp, it's just we can't talk about them."
“I can say they are the best, but things cannot be perfect. I spoke to them, told them I wanted to leave and stuff, and they agreed,” Mahlatsi added.
