Nkosingiphile Ngcobo beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 32. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Dillan Solomons has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Kaizer Chiefs they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Brandon Petersen in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Kaizer Chiefs this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad19 Oct 2026

A row about effort at Kaizer Chiefs

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Lebohang Maboe was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match17 Oct 2026

Kaizer Chiefs rescue it on 90 minutes

Behind, and beaten by any honest reading, until minute 90. Black Aces had the points in their pocket and a corner of the ground still believed, which is generally when it happens.

The dugout19 Oct 2026

No hiding place for Mduduzi Shabalala

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Mduduzi Shabalala, and the manager let it.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Riyaaz Koopstadt signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Riyaaz Koopstadt and Kaizer Chiefs agree another 4 years.

Match17 Oct 2026

Kaizer Chiefs share the spoils with Black Aces

A 1‑1 draw with Black Aces leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

The dugout19 Oct 2026

The view from the dugout

“We did not lose. Some weeks that is all you get, and I would rather have the point than not.” Dean Phiri chose the glass-half-full version of 1‑1; the supporters left with the other one.

Match26 Sep 2026

Kaizer Chiefs tear Polokwane City apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 3‑0 against Polokwane City, and it could have been more.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Lebohang Maboe was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 32. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Gastón Sirino scores twice — 8.31

Two goals and a mark of 8.31 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Market28 Sep 2026

Only the photograph left for Ashley Du Preez

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Ashley Du Preez will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Kaizer Chiefs the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad28 Sep 2026

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.

Squad28 Sep 2026

The step up is real for Muhammad Bower

At 19 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Lebohang Maboe falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The terraces28 Sep 2026

Kaizer Chiefs supporters have found a favourite in Mfundo Vilakazi

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 20-year-old it feels ownership of. Mfundo Vilakazi has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Market28 Sep 2026

No place for Reeve Frosler in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Reeve Frosler has his answer from Kaizer Chiefs; what he does with it is the next window’s story.
