Kaizer Chiefs run riot against Chippa United
4‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.
Player ratings10 Aug 2026
Etiosa Ighodaro scores twice — 9.38
Two goals and a mark of 9.38 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Huddersfield Town come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Kaizer Chiefs did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

A falling-out at Kaizer Chiefs
Brandon Petersen and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Graduation day at Kaizer Chiefs
4 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Mfundo Vilakazi signs a new deal

One of their own: Mduduzi Shabalala
He is 22 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Thulani Mokotjo steps up from the Kaizer Chiefs academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Thulani Mokotjo has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

One of our own: Dean Mahlangu joins the Kaizer Chiefs first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Dean Mahlangu is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
