KAIZER CHIEFS SIGN NINE NEW PLAYERS
Following the large exit of 13 players that included surprise names like Samir Nurkovic, Leonardo Castro, Kearyn Baccus, Dumisani Zuma, and Lebogang Manyama, nine new players have been introduced to the club.
Of the nine new faces, one of them, Kamohelo Mahlatsi was forced by injury to start training in late July, while Edmilson Dove and Bonfils-Caleb Bimenyimana only joined last week.

This leaves us with six players who have been around long enough to face ratings.

RATING AMAKHOSI’S NEW PLAYERS
Dillan Solomons, 7/10
The right-back has done what many players dreamt off – getting accepted by Amakhosi fans rather quickly.
Solomons has shown fight, passion, and high confidence in front of big crowds that easily freeze other players.
Zitha Kwinika 9/10
The Amakhosi youth development star has looked like one of the signings of the season so far and arguably the club’s Player of the Month for August.
Edmilson Dove, N/A
Too early to rate. Only joined last week.
Yusuf Maart, 7/10
The former Cape Umoya and Sekhukhune United’s star’s quality was amplified during his absence. Zwane’s side did not look commanding and fluid after Maart was given a red card against Richards Bay.
Siyethemba Sithebe, 5/10
The ex-AmaZulu midfielder has had to adapt to playing in the number 6 and double 8 roles. It is surely a different task from his previous number 10 role at Usuthu.
Lehlogonolo Matlou, 6/10:
The elegant lanky midfielder has looked good on the eye but needs to show a lot more aggression and dominance. He has seemed like a luxury player at his point.
Kamohelo Mahlatsi, N/A:
The SuperSport United development product arrived at the club injured before. He missed over a month of pre-season.
Ashley Du Preez, 6/10:
Besides an injury that kept him out of three games, the former Stellebosch star, who reportedly cost R10-15 million, has blown hot and cold.
Bonfils-Caleb Bimenyimana, N/A:
The Burundian center forward only joined last week.
