Welcome to Afrik-Foot’s live commentary of AmaZulu vs Kaizer Chiefs at the Moses Mabhida Stadium, with kick-off set for 15:30 on Saturday, May 16, 2026.

Kaizer Chiefs beat Sekhukhune United in their last Premier Soccer League outing to grab the CAF Confederation Cup slot.

AmaZulu had hoped to challenge the Glamour Boys for the spot, but draws against Golden Arrows and Orbit College, respectively, killed their hope of dining with the big boys in the continental competition.

The headline boost for Kaizer Chiefs is the return of midfielder Siphesihle Ndlovu, who has served his one-match suspension for accumulating four yellow cards.

The combative midfielder is likely to slot straight back in alongside Lebohang Maboe, with Sibongiseni Mthethwa and Nkosingiphile Ngcobo, who filled in during the Sekhukhune win, dropping back to the bench.

Mduduzi Shabalala remains a major absentee, having sustained a shoulder injury during the 1-1 home draw with Mamelodi Sundowns on May 6.

For AmaZulu, centre-back Keegan Allan returns from suspension and is expected to walk back into the back three, strengthening a defence that has been the platform for their season.

Hendrik Ekstein, who recently shook off an ankle problem, is in the mix to start, although Zwane has been impressed by 22-year-old Athini Maqokola, who scored a brace against Chippa United and could keep his spot through the front line.
