Kaizer Chiefs are continuing their restructuring ahead of the 2025/26 season, where they will compete domestically and abroad.
So far, coach Nasreddine Nabi has been strengthened with the arrival Flavio Silva (Persebaya Surabaya, Indonesia), Ethan Chislett (Port Vale, England), Nkanyiso Shinga (FC Alverce, Portugal), Paseka Mako (Orlando Pirates), Thabiso Monyane (Orlando Pirates), and Siphesihle Ndlovu (SuperSport United).
So far, Ranga Chivaviro, Edmilson Dove, Sabele Radebe, Njabulo Blom (end of loan), Mduduzi Mdantsane, Edson Castillo, Yusuf Maart (SV Ried, Austria) and Tebogo Potsane have left the Glamour Boys.
Bongani Sam released by Amakhosi
On Thursday, Amakhosi confirmed the exit of former Orlando Pirates left back Bongani Sam who was signed at the beginning of the 2023/24 season.
“After just one season, Kaizer Chiefs have amicably agreed to part ways with defender Bongani Sam. The Gqeberha native joined the team from Orlando Pirates in July 2024. Wishing Bongani all the best,” the Soweto giants confirmed.
The left-backs at Chiefs
The 28-year-old leaves without making an official appearance for Chiefs after recovering from an injury he suffered immediately after joining the club. The defender leaves with a two-year deal still left after initially signing a three-year contract.
Mozambique international Edmilson Dove is another left-back who the club released a couple of weeks ago, leaving new signings Paseka Mako, Nkanyiso Shinga, alongside Bradley Cross and Happy Mashiane as the established left-backs at the club.
Sam will now have to look for a new team in the next couple of weeks to revive his career, having featured for Bafana Bafana in his early days while still contracted at Bloemfontein Celtic before joining Orlando Pirates.
