Kaizer Chiefs signing to help youngsters ‘get something from him’

Kaizer Chiefs have been raised for acquiring the services of Bafana Bafana international Elias Mokawana to strengthen the attacking department.

Amakhosi confirmed the signing of the versatile attacker in the beginning of the month. The versatile attacker had been on the Amakhosi’s radar for some time, owing to his quality and impact in the final third. He initially left Sekhukhune United for Esperance where he played for a season before being loaned out to Saudi Arabian outfit Al Hazem.

“Mokwana arrives at Naturena with an impressive résumé, having enjoyed success with during the 2024/25 campaign, helping the Tunisian powerhouse secure the domestic League and Cup double by contributing three goals and two assists in 25 appearances across all competitions. He also lifted the Tunisian Super Cup in 2024, scoring in the final against Stade Tunisien,” the Soweto giants said in a statement.

Mokwana is a good addition

Former Chiefs’ defender Mandla Masango has explained in detail why the management did well to bring in the 27-year-old.

“I think it’s a good addition because the likes of Mfundo [Vilakazi] will get to learn something from him. Also, the likes of ‘Mdu’ [Mduduzi Shabalala] will gain a lot from his experience,” Masango said as quoted by FARPost.

“It’s a good addition, you know. I think with the likes of the young Faiz Abrahams, things will get much better. I think Abrahams is really good and needs to get more playing time.

“Every time he [Faiz Abrahams] comes on as a substitute, he looks very sharp. You can see that he’s very hungry to prove himself and to be among the best at Chiefs,” Masango concluded.
