FIVE Kaizer Chiefs players packing their bags

A quintet of high-profile Kaizer Chiefs players will no longer be with the club in 2025-2026. Let’s take a look.

23-year-old midfield schemer Samkelo Zwane hasn’t lived up to the hype surrounding him.

Zwane’s Kaizer Chiefs adventure ends here

Talented midfield player Samkelo Zwane is one of five high-profile names linked with a likely exit from Kaizer Chiefs. The 23-year-old schemer has fallen down the pecking order. Senior statesmen Thabo Cele and Yusuf Maart hold down places. There are still question marks about Zwane’s ability to do work off the ball. George Matlou, Tebogo Potsane, Zitha Kwinika and Fiacre Ntwari could all follow him out the exit door.

Maxwell Nzengeli played six times in the Champions League last season but failed to trouble the scorers, so he’s hardly set the world alight. As ever, there is pressure on the Chiefs board to make a big splash this window. Nzengeli has five caps and one goal for DR Congo.
